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!
As usual we’ve had some amazing custom entries in the latest customizing challenge, which ends December 31. So there’s still time to whip up an entry or two for your chance at some free figures – head on over to the forums for the latest entries, which just might help inspire you if you’re stumped on any ideas for a custom!
While doing some Christmas shopping this weekend, I noticed that a ToyZam store had opened at my local mall, and they have assorted TVC figures, ranging from some later waves all the way back to the first wave of TVC.
They are priced a little steep at $11.99, but are on sale at Buy 1 Get 1 50% off – so if you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth your while to check them out.
We spotlight the awesome collection of forum member Darth Eddie this evening, who has so many figures it boggles the mind. Even an opener like myself enjoys seeing pics like his, and I think you will too. Check out his impressive collection after the jump!
The ToyMan Collector Show is back in St. Louis on Sunday, December 9 – just in time for Christmas!
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.
Finding new Star Wars items at the big retailers is hit or miss these days, even so close to Christmas – but stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Five Below continue to stock some treats, and at great prices – today I saw yet another Rebel Transport Speeder at TJ Maxx – and it’s pretty hard to beat the $9.99 price tag.
The pickings may be slim, but don’t give up toy run hope this holiday season, as these discout stores are still getting some great stuff in!
