Forum member digktialx informed us in our forums of a kickstarter they are launching that may be right up the alley for collectors looking for ways to store their loose figures in style, while at the same time protecting their treasures.

Forum member Jodo has posted another good read on his blog about the issues the Star Wars fan base is dealing with, this time focusing on the action figure price increases that appear to be looming across the hobby, and have already impacted Target (well, maybe not so much yet because retailers rarely stock anything anymore that the Star Wars market wants anyway).

Yakface forum member CloneCrazy has kicked off a new photonovel series set in the times of the Old Republic. The visuals are breathtaking and the story is great.
Kick back, take a few minutes, and enjoy this first installment in his new series… and be so kind to leave him a comment too for his hard work and for sharing it with us.
Forum member Raylen has updated us with some fantastic new diorama items to fill the needs of collectors. Check out his latest items, which are sure to be another hit by clicking here.
Personal Note: I’ve ordered Raylen’s products many times, and it’s clear he is a true fan of the hobby. We see it in his posts in the forums, and in the quality, fair pricing, and amazing service with his products. So if you like to display your Star Wars 3.75″ collection loose, these items will truly enhance your collection and bring life to it. And it’s not like the company that makes the figures is going to suddenly wake up and make things this cool – they’ve had TWO DECADES now, and still ignore requests for these items.
Forum member Jodo checks in with a new store report – he spotted the Mission Series Wicket/Scout Trooper 2-pk at his local Target in Edwardsville, IL.
Personal Note: Both reports I’ve seen so far indicate to me, Target is still splitting cases at distribution centers. Hopefully we’ll see evidence of some actual FULL cases shipping to Target stores again soon!
Once again we spotlight the customizing talents of another of our forum members – my kind of scum! From fan fiction creations to classic characters from the films, he continues to inspire with all kinds of custom figure goodness. Check out his latest updates after the jump!
Toy runs at places like Wal-Mart and Target may be a complete waste of time for most of us, but if you have Walgreens stores in your area, it’s definitely worth swinging by to see what the situation is.
Most stores receive at least one delivery each week, and are often getting in a few Black Series figures with each shipment – just today, reader Darth Stringfield spotted at one Walgreens store a more interesting selection of figures than I’ve seen at all the local Target stores combined over the past year.
How are those Store Finds going? Let us know in the forums!
If you are active in our forums, chances are you’ve seen the amazing custom dioramas and playsets by forum member EMPIRE. But now, he’s taken it to the next level – by converting an entire ROOM into a custom playset. Head on over to the forums and check out this masterpiece – it’s one of the most jaw dropping Star Wars projects you will ever see.

Personal Note: Hopefully Hasbro gets things back on track with the Episode VII launch!
I’ve felt for a while that the Black Series Ree Yees has been sporting a head a tad too small, so I dusted off my dremel so I could see what the POTF2 version’s head looked like on there.
Does it look better? Or worse? Does it really matter? I dunno – but I think I prefer the larger head. If you’ve considered making this alteration, head to the forums for a closer look.
