Looks like product development at Hasbro for Episode VII is in full swing as seen above in this screen shot from the Speeder Bike development video released earlier today. While nothing is spoiled in terms of character names, you can see that there is a product labeled “SW E7 secondary hero battler”.
It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that Hasbro has been in “Episode VII mode” for a while now, the purpose of the post is to show the actual, observable “proof” that development has commenced.
ToysRUs is now offering their exclusive Battle on Endor set for $79.99 (Drop it to $59.99 and I’ll bite). Thanks to twitter follower @Cybertronprime for the heads-up.
How did Hasbro create the Black Series Speeder Bike — the first Star Wars toy vehicle made in a 6-inch scale – and its accompanying Biker Scout? In the first installment of Star Wars: From Concept to Collectible, the designers behind the fan-favorite Black Series line of action figures discuss making the new collectible set, from early ideas to design to finished product.
Whether a member of an undefeated empire or part of a rebel alliance, collegiate sports fans know what it means to be part of a legacy. Now college sports fans can celebrate their school pride with the power of the Force sporting a new collection of apparel and accessories featuring iconic designs from the Star Wars saga!
Check out my local TRU today to see if they refreshed their stock of merchandise* and I was surprised find shelf tags the Star Wars Rebels Jedi Reveal Mission Series set.
*Another interesting observation, this particular store killed the entire new set up for the Star Wars line and went back to having 2 standard aisle for product. Weird.
UPDATE: ToysRUs.ca has this set up for preorder now with a 10/17 release date.

While many have been quick to dismiss Hasbro’s Hero Series X-wing Fighter as a waste of retail space and tooling dollars, customizers have been transforming it into a display worthy piece that is far closer to 3-3/4″ scale than any prior X-wing release. Check out Facebook images for the amazing custom paint job by Saravana Kumar that really brings out the existing details and sculpting.
Thanks to Sith_Fire30 for the heads-up.
