Our pals at Sandtroopers.com have images of two packaged figures which, in turn, reveal several more new figures from upcoming The Clone Wars assortments.  Which, we're gambling, are going to be revealed officially in New York.  Just click here to see them all in their forums, and be delighted by a new Barriss Offee, El-Les, and Kmart exclusive Clone Captain Lock!

So I popped open my new Endor sets yesterday and then I did some research to see who these guys were-- because other than Grizz Frix, the figures like Sila Kott are supremely obscure. Heck, they didn't all have names just yet... and Sila's gender is up to discussion!  Read on!

So much excitement!  Let's slow things down a bit with Plo Koon from 2002.  At first the figure was a little tough to get, but like most things, that didn't last forever.  Do you need this version in your collection?  Read on!

Toy Fair is a fun time of year, and it looks like we get to open a few of our presents early.  A new wave of The Vintage Collection is known to us because a packaged sample of Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Pilot) has been making the rounds.   New figures include Lando Calrissian (General), Clone Trooper, AT-RT Driver, Fi-Ek Sirch, and a new Weequay.

The two Battle Over Endor action figure packs are hitting Toys "R" Us as you read this-- each is $24.99, which is a really good value for 4 new figures these days.   Of note, my R5-P9 was packaged backward, with his dome spun around 180 degrees.  There's nothing wrong with the figure once you open it, but it's possible some (or all) may be sold this way.  Also, each package has a different Return of the Jedi-themed backdrop.

Before he had a purple lightsaber, Mace Windu got a couple of figure releases including this little number with a big removable plastic cloak.  The figure had pretty decent articulation for his day, and a head sculpt that some prefer to the more recent figures.  What do you think?  Read on, and leave a comment!

Two Star Wars titles headline April's Dark Horse releases including Vader and the Lost Command #4 where the Sith Lord is betrayed and is trapped in a desolate world. And in Legacy #4, it's Cad Skywalker vs. Darth Krayt!

Our sponsors at TOY PALACE have posted their first newsletter for the New Year including FX Lightsabers, Ultimate E3 Anakin, and more!

Here's a great one, it's Cato Parasitti! This bounty hunter has some great detail work, plus some lettering which... well, some of it I've translated correctly.  The rest?  Who knows.  It's a great figure, so read on!

Is there a future for comic packs? We look at this, as well as Republic Gunship repaints and variations, complaints about vintage repacks, and the fine line between toys and stuff for collectors in this week's Q&A!

Today we look at another one of the Entertainment Earth exclusive comic pack figures with Baron Fel, which is a nicely modified 2007 Death Star Trooper.  He has a hat, a helmet, and a goatee-- all things that probably would have made the 2007 Baron Fel better.   Read on!

As we reported earlier today, the Star Wars saga on Blu-Ray and its pre-order was officially announced at CES in Las Vegas. Here is the official press release and trailer from Lucasilm. 30 hours of special features and being able to choose between all, OT, or Prequels? Not bad.
