VW Commmercial: The Dog Strikes Back

By Mike — Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Volkswagen has posted their new Star Wars themed Super Bowl commercial featuring a Dog, a Beetle, and Cantina Creatures. Will Hasbro finally produce the long asked for but until now not legally possible Tonnika Sisters or will they further torture our Mr. Pawlus by releasing another BoShek resculpt? This is too much suspense!

Target Has Titanium Priced Right

By Mike — Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Following up on our earlier report, Target seems to be the retailer selling the Titanium 3 packs for Hasbro's MSRP of $19.99, which leads us to believe that Walmart, usually the "low price leader' amongst big box retailers, has their $29.96 pricing in error or they are getting really greedy. We lean towards the former.

Image Bank: Mos Espa Arena (Discover The Force)

By Mike — Monday, January 30, 2012

This set as a whole is not bad. The not fully assembled Episode I C-3PO, while lacking the 14 points of articulation we see as standard today, is as solidly sculpted and painted now as it was back in 1999. The only drawback is that he can't hold the included Anakin Podracer flag as he should be able to. The Power of the Jedi Sebulba (Boonta Eve Challenge) sculpt is good enough and Anakin Skywalker, from 2000's POTJ "mechanic" figure, is marginal for what he is due to the limited articulation. This Anakin mold is also used for the Target 2 Pack exclusive, with the "dirtier" variation for this Battle Pack.
