After a very tough run for Star Wars at retail, it seems like things are actually starting to improve – especially at Toys”R”us. Today I ran into the best selection of action-figure related Star Wars merchandise that I’ve seen anywhere in a long, long time. How goes it in your area? Let us know after the jump!
On this episode of The WolfPack Podcast. Curto, Corey, Marco and Jayson from Yakface.com talk about the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens news, Rebels news, and action figure news!
Get a first look at “Clash of the Skywalkers,” a new LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles special in this exclusive trailer, featuring Luke Skywalker battling Darth Vader and more.
LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles “Clash of the Skywalkers” premieres Sunday, November 23, on Disney XD! It is also available now to watch on WatchDisneyXD.com
The Ultimate Star Wars Die Cast Set that has shown up on DisneyStore.com recently is also being found in brick and mortar Disney Stores per this tweet from Tucson ToyHunter. This set includes the Millennium Falcon, Y-wing, Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced, 2 standard TIE Fighters, an Imperial Star Destroyer, Luke’s “Red Five” X-wing and an Exclusive Wedge Antilles “Red Two” X-wing.
Once again, we feature a unique 6″ build from customizer Brandon Flores (aka HALCION). Like his AT-ST and AT-AT that have come before, the progress and detail of his new 6″ scale Snowspeeder is unparalleled. Click on through to check out his latest creation.
Rebelscum has posted a report that wave 6 of the 6″ Black Series assortment (which includes Yoda, TIE Pilot and the Clone Trooper Sergeant) has started to hit retail. Head on over for the full details.
Our friend Jesse from JediDefender reports via Twitter that his local Kmart is still putting out the Hasbro Special Value Offer Vehicle packs but they are now only $9.99
Built with screen-accurate mechanical detailing and light up features, Threepio’s advanced articulation and poseability allow collectors to perfectly capture the nuances of his quirky personality.
The exclusive version includes a switch out “damaged” left arm.
Toys”R”us is having a one-day sale that appears to have slipped under the radar – the Battle on Endor Battle Pack! Most of us already have the pack-ins from this set and it seems many of our forum members see this set as a waste of time, but it’s still a good value for this price. Sale valid in-store and online
Have you bought this set yet or does this sale price push you toward finally making this purchase? Head on over the forums and share your thoughts.
Personal Note: I think Hasbro should have dumped the AT-ST and added in the new Speederbike mold and a slightly revised POTF2 Endor Bunker (with new doors and new paint scheme) instead. I know I would have been more likely to purchase this set if that were the case, and I have a hunch many of you would have too.
