While attending the ToyMan Collector Show in St. Louis today, one of the dealers had some outstanding custom Lego-style Star Wars statues for sale. My camera phone doesn’t do these justice, but they were amazing. Check out a larger picture of these awesome creations in the forums!

New Vintage Figures Slowly Appearing
After an anguishing drought, TRU has started to receive shipments of new figures… as always your mileage may vary, but in these troubled times it’s a breath of fresh air to walk into a store and know there’s a chance it could be stocked with new product!
Good luck with those toy runs, and be sure to post your finds in our forums!
Yakfinities # 44 Continues
The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues, and with a theme that we haven’t tackled before, there’s some very interesting concepts being shown off in the forums.

Customizer Mega Spotlight
We continue to have fantastic custom work shown off in our forums, and it’s only right to highlight more of the hard efforts of our resident customizers!
First off, Darth Daddy has created an awesome custom of Numa from the Clone Wars… take note Hasbro! This adorable little Twi’lek should have been made by now!
Next up, forumite super360 shares a very cool clone sergeant he’s working on – check it out here!
Fans of KOTOR will instantly recognize Bao-Dur from forum member stocos28. Click here for more pics of this fantastic custom that Hasbro has chosen to ignore.

ToyMan Collector Show Returns
Malgus Wave at HasbroToyShop
If you can afford to drop over a hundred bucks for five new figures and a lot of completely pointless carry forwards that are warming pegs at retail across planet Earth, TVC Wave 3 is up for pre-order at Hasbrotoyshop.com
The 10th Anniversary of SAGA
It’s hard to believe it, but a decade has passed since the AOTC line officially launched at retail.
Personally, I can recall a night of hitting every Wal-Mart in my area looking for that dang Royal Guard, and hearing some guy bragging about how he found two of them at a different Wal-Mart… only the next morning, to find that Toy”R”us had gotten in dozens of that assortment, and feeling relieved, but broke!
Feel free to relive the excitement of that launch in our forums or at the message board at Jeditemplearchives, and special thanks to forum member Darth Eddie for the reminder!
Suggestions for Hasbro!
Remember when the Legends lines were fun and Hasbro found a way to appeal to both collectors and kids? When we actually looked forward to walking into the toy aisle?
Collector frustration continues to rise, so we’re going to start throwing some new ideas toward Hasbro in the forums, and we’re starting things off with a bit of a rant with how they’ve handled Movie Heroes so far this year and how it could have been handled better.
Sound off in the forums with your thoughts, and even your own ideas after the jump!
