The newest Target Exclusive have started showing up around the country, and while there does seem to be a bite in the wallet for the Landspeeder and Luke’s Tauntaun (087-06-1732) at $24.99 a pop, the Search for Luke Skywalker set (087-06-1749) is well worth its $24.99 pricepoint. Look for these exclusives on the endcap, not in the aisle, in most stores.
New York Comic Con is one of the fastest growing sci-fi and comic conventions in the country. Run by ReedPop, the convention organizers behind Chicago’s C2E2 and Star Wars Celebrations 5 and 6, this year they attracted a major Star Wars presence, with Hasbro making their first official New York Comic Con appearance, as well as Hallmark who brought along another Keepsake Ornament exclusive!
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Rebel Fleet Trooper (VC52) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: We’ve suffered through a bulky version as well as poorly articulated and oddly colored versions, now we’re treated to a superbly sculpted and articulated figure that has accessories in spades! A perfect candidate for army building especially since it’s reshipping in wave 9 case assortments.
CONS: The most glaring oversight here is the lack of a holster. It’s inclusion would have put this figure in the “no need to make another one ever again” category, but sadly it falls short of that honor.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure 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.
Just a friendly reminder that The Clone Wars Season 3 is available on DVD and Blu-ray today, October 18. The season does have its highs and lows, but overall a season worth adding to you video library
