New Diorama Items Available
For those collectors that would love for more diorama pieces to be available for our 3.75″ display needs – Holeinthegroundpro.com has you covered.

Personal note: I’ve purchased quite a few of these items, and can personally say they are among the finest quality items I’ve ever purchased for diorama needs. Buy with confidence… and enjoy!
Nien Nunb Wave hits STL
Few people have seen the Unkar Plutt or Admiral Ackbar wave… Han Solo is nearly impossible to find… and now Hasbro’s distribution inconsistencies continue, as the Nien Nunb wave (including mask-less Kylo Ren) has show up at a Wal-Mart in the St. Louis area (thank you Scott for the report).
Who else has seen these and newer Hasbro figures at retail? Let us know how those toy runs are going after the jump!
Death Star Playset by TOMY
While browsing eBay last night, I came across an interesting upcoming Death Star playset, that according to the seller, is made by Takara/Tomy, and is scheduled for release in April. For a closer look, click here.
Who would like to see a more collector friendly version of a Death Star by Hasbro (or another company) compatible with the 3.75″ scale?

Customizer Spotlight: Monsterhjerne
Tonight we share a stellar customizing update by forum member Monsterhjerne, who has significantly upgraded Hasbro’s Jabba’s Dias set with some amazing repaints and custom modifications.
Snap Wexley Variation
Variations aren’t something that I typically find all that interesting, but I ran into one today that I hadn’t heard of before and was suckered into buying it because I thought it looked cool – a Snap Wexley with a white visor rather than yellow.
Anyone else come across this? A closer pic is available in our forums.
The Better Side of 5POA
For those of you active in our forums, you are probably aware that I am not a fan of 5POA figures. I could be, if Hasbro tweaked the assembly of them a bit… (customizers, you probably know what I’m referring to).
However, Hasbro’s latest TFA offerings are starting to show some improvement over much of what they’ve been pushing the past few years in this style – head on over to the forums for a quick look (and mini-review) at Sidon Ithano, First Mate Quiggold, Unkar Plutt, and Admiral Ackbar!
