Forum member StooperZero also ran across TVC figures marked at $4.00 each at his local Wal-Mart, and I saw the same thing at three different stores in the St. Louis area today as well, but of note, in my area at least the clearance only applies to the 2010-2011 line.

The highly anticipated Deleted Scenes figures have hit eBay, which hopefully means it won’t be long before we see these in stores.
Thanks to forum member Sybeck1 for the heads up!

Forum member darthmac has completed his amazing custom diorama of Jabba’s Throne Room – this sucker is breathtaking and will make you envious! Check it out and leave him some feedback for his hard work after the jump!
While checking out a clearance endcap at Target today, I saw a vintage 3-pk marked down to $9.98 (or something like that)… I had bought a few of these last week at the same store for this price, and decided to scan this one on the off chance it was marked down to 75% off now… instead, it rang up at $24.99! This was the old, dusty Needa-Dengar-AT-AT Driver set… strange, eh?
And also today, according to our friends at Jedidefender.com, this is a new DPCI number, 087-06-1172 – hopefully soon we’ll find out more details regarding some sets of new figures… though the price increase certainly isn’t welcome!

Yakface is proud to announce a tribute to a friend of the community who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing contest that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios. We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people. In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites to make this happen. We are proud to have teamed up with Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.
To help encourage particpation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
