So it’s not bad enough you guys had to wait at least 4 weeks for a new round of answers from Hasbro…

…the Yakface resident jerknuts (I.E. “me”) has to go and post them during the wee hours the following day, making you wait even longer.

Apologies all around folks. Please put away the torches and pitchforks click the banner above and enjoy this week’s installment.

On this snowy day, why not kick back with a cup of coffee and enjoy my review on a truly amazing piece –  the Premium Format Luke Skywalker & Yoda from Sideshow Collectibles. Is it worthy of adding to your collection? How does it stack up with previous Sideshow offerings? Read on to get my take on it and after that discuss your thoughts in our forums.

Note: the artwork shown above is not the packaging of this piece. It was created for the purpose of this review.

 


 

CIV Attendee to Win One-of-a Kind Sculpture
March 1, 2007 | 10:18 PM EST | Jayson

One lucky attendee of this summer’s Celebration IV will be selected to receive a one-of-a-kind bust of Obi-Wan Kenobi that is produced live by noted sculptor Lawrence Noble during the event. After the piece is sculpted, it will be cast and then shipped directly to the fan’s home. Noble is responsible for creating such pieces as the 10th Anniversary ESB poster, the Danbury Mint Star Wars Chess Set and the Bronze Yoda statue located at Lucasfilm’s offices in San Francisco. This piece is surely to become an invaluable item in anyone’s collection.

Head to Star Wars.com to read more about it and the amazing Lawrence Noble.
