Even though we are in the thick of SDCC, we thought it was time to tease the shirt you will be getting with your ticket to our Yakface/SWAN Fan Party. Get your tickets today to insure you’ll get one of these as they will only be available at the Party with your ticket (kids too!).
I just realized while looking at Sandtroopers’ new TVC reveal that the Royal Guard includes switch-out Crimson Empire training gear. Well done Hasbro.
Hasbro let one slip out of the bag at SDCC preview night as they briefly had a new Luminara Unduli on display in one of their showcases. But before it could be swept away, the crew at Sandtroopers.com managed to get a few shots of her. Head on over to their Hasbro Gallery for a closer inspection.
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have posted an awesome image gallery showcasing loose and carded shots of TVC wave 6 including those walmart exclusives figures repacked on the vintage cards! March on over to Sandtroopers.com for the details.
Images of the long-rumored Endor AT-AT in tri-lingual Vintage packaging turned up today over at starwars-figuren.com courtesy of VolkerC. Head on over to check them out!
What was once just a rumor is now confirmed via a spy report from Sir Steve’s Guide showing a page from Hasbro’s upcoming slideshow. The Build-A-Droid concept is back for 2013! Head over to check out their images and report.
While we don’t have an official presence at SDCC this year, we are certainly there in spirit! But fear not, we will be posting updates here, in our forums, on facebook and twitter letting you know the latest news from Hasbro, Sideshow, LEGO, Gentle Giant and more!
