Sideshow Collectibles as released their latest “Ask Sideshow” column and amongst their Star Wars product announcements and teases there is a not-so-subtle hint of a possible 1:6 scale Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber environment in the works. What’s funny is that this revelation is attached to an answer to question I submitted on their site back in June.
Just a reminder that Hallmark is having their 2011 Keepsake Ornament Debut this weekend (Oct 8-9) where you’ll be able to pick up the exclusive, in-store only LEGO Darth Vader Ornament.

On this week’s Star Wars Action News, Arnie tells how one of his collecting holy grail quests was accomplished as a birthday gift for Marjorie. Listen to find out what vintage collection it is!
Also on this week’s show, Brock joins us for two book reviews: Fate of the Jedi – Ascension by Christie Golden, and the 25th Anniversary Edition of Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire! And Marjorie and Arnie review the Toys R Us exclusive Death Star Trench Run vehicle pack, and tell you where the best deal on Vintage figures is this week.
