The ToyMan Collector Show kicks off another year in St. Louis on Sunday, January 13.
With over 180 dealer tables, you never know what Star Wars, GI Joe, or Transformers items you might find, and often at great prices. For more details, click on the image above.
For several weeks it seems, I have watched in envy as other collectors have shown off their very cool Jocasta Nu figure from Brianstoys… I mean heck, I ordered mine back on July 20, so what’s the deal?
Thanks to a prompt from forum member Grimace, I went ahead and emailed their customer service just a few days ago – and magically my order arrived today.
Coincidence? I think not. So if you’re been sitting around waiting on your order since last summer, it may worth a moment to send them a kind email inquiring about your order. But remember, be nice. Rudeness gets you nowhere.
Another Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has concluded, and with 80 custom entries, you’ll want to kick back and scroll through all the “Ladies of the Galaxy” entries before seeing which random entries are walking away with prizes!
This past year saw a return to the photonovel realm for Rykrof Enloe, with The Enloe Trials photonovel series. I really didn’t think after taking a year off from these things that I’d find it in myself to come back, but thanks to a lot of encouragement from our forum members, I decided to launch a new series for Rykrof propelling him toward the events of the Original Trilogy.
Things kicked off back in February with The Baron’s Crusade; the prologue to this new series. In it, Imperial Baron Tylin Gere has begun a personal quest to acquire an ancient Sith artifact, and will stop at nothing to acquire it.
Soon after, Emperor Palpatine informs Darth Vader of the rogue actions of Tylin Gere in Seeds of Insurrection. Meanwhile, former Jedi Master Kala Mly Shundi contacts Rykrof Enloe on Urelia in an attempt to persuade Rykrof to join a small but growing rebellion against the Empire.
It isn’t long before Imperial troops arrive at Rykrof’s home, sent by none other than Tylin Gere. In this chapter, Atrocity, Rykrof loses his father, and is forced to work for Tylin if he ever wants to see his wife or son alive again.
Thank you to everyone who has helped support this series (you know who you are), as the photonovel craze from several years ago has died down significantly across the Star Wars boards everywhere. But in 2013, more exiting adventures are in store for Rykrof Enloe — so stay tuned for more action as the year progresses!
I’d also like to throw a shout out to our friends at Jeditemplearchives for their support too!
While news regarding the demise of the B.A.D. line is depressing for many of us, Toys”R”us stores continue to receive shipments of the 2013 deluxe sets – keep up those toy runs if you’re looking to add these to your collection, and good luck!
Forum member Grimace has posted some nice loose pics of the new deluxe sets in the forums.
Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Forum member Kualan has been sharing his photonovels at Imperialshipyards.net for a while now, and we’re glad to see him share his work here for our readers as well.
Check out the first installment in this action packed series after the jump!
A dark shadow has been cast over Rykrof Enloe as agents of the Empire have mercilessly attacked the Enloe Homestead, brutally killing members of his family.
With those closest to him in imminent danger, Rykrof must forge an alliance with shadowy forces in order to save his son – find out what’s in store for Rykrof in this latest adventure after the jump!

Yakface forum members participating in this year’s Secret Santa Christmas Custom Exchange are starting to have some very cool gifts showing up on their doorstep, like the above Mon Calamari medic that DanOfTheDead received from Incom.
I’ve also already received a very cool gift from forum member DarthDaddy.
We’ll have a roundup report of all of the cool customs Yakface forum members made for each other after the holidays, so stay tuned!
The last time I checked, the pickings were slim on Hallmark Star Wars ornaments in my area, but yesterday I noticed a lot of different (non-Hallmark) Star Wars themed ornaments at Target, and they are all priced under $10.00. So you may want to head on down to your local Target if you’re needing a finishing touch or two on your Christmas tree!
