UPDATE: MTT Droid Carrier Revealed
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have deployed a mechanized rumor report regarding the next vehicle to get the “BMF” super-size treatment. Head on over for their report and then sound off in our forums on what you think of this possible release.
UPDATE: For those curious about those 20 included battle droids that is kind of a red herring as only 4 of them are poseable, the rest are preposed in their collapsed/storage mode. You can read this for yourself here as well as view a small image.

Toyguide Update: Podracer Pilots Figure Set
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of our next entry for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Toys”R”Us exclusive Podracer Pilots figure set from Episode I.
PROS: A great way to start or suppliment your podracer character collection if you missed out on the initial releases of these figures. The inclusion of the team flags is a nice touch and to have them be plastic and not paper is a welcome surprise. Each figure also includes a Galactic Battle Game card which is great if you enjoy playing or collecting the cards themselves.
CONS: There is nothing really worth picking up here unless you really need the flags which are plastic (not paper). If you’d like these flags without buying this set, you can get custom version that I created here.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
