Hasbro may be ignoring the diorama and playset market, but as we know, others are not – such as forum member Raylen, who is now offering up a great custom door that fits in great with many Star Wars environments, like Echo Base. He hints that more offerings are on the way, and I have a feeling based on this first item that those that jump on board with these items are going to be very pleased. Head on over to the forums to find out how you can place your order!
Not only is the Galactic Merchants team filling a huge void in collecting by creating great dioramas for collectors, but they’re also remembering the people who pushed to helped promote their efforts by giving a special thanks to us on their new packaging. It’s things like this that go to show what a great community Star Wars fans are.
For those of you that have received your sets so far, we want to hear about it and see your displays! Head on over to the forums and share your pics like others are doing. And if you haven’t received your set just yet, I know they appreciate your patience. This is a huge undertaking for these guys but they are really working hard to make each and every customer is happy with their order.
Once again, localgotal hits a home run with another amazing mockup in his popular Concept Series lineup.
This week we’re treated to yet another multi-pack, which entails several Mos Eisley characters that we just know would be a hit if released the way he has envisioned. We could only be so lucky with what Hasbro reveals at Toy Fair!

Forum moderator localgotal has done it again with yet another amazing mockup in his popular Concept Series lineup.
This week we are treated to a double feature, which entails two great deluxe ideas that we really wish Hasbro would make. One of these is so amazing that it almost brings a tear to my eye. Check it out, and make your voice heard if you support such ideas by sounding off in the forums!
If you’re like me, you enjoy checking out the after Christmas clearances at Target… those toys are starting to disappear now though, as many stores now have the remainder of their clearance toys at 50-70% off. So if you’ve been holding out on getting sets like the Rise of Darth Vader battle pack for a great price, now may be the time before they’re gone.
Yakfinities #50: The Original Trilogy has wrapped up, and we had well over 100 entries, making this one of the best customizing challenges yet! Plus, not only did we have the standard random winners receiving prizes, but we also had two Grand Prize winners walking away with the Amazon Exclusive Droid Factory Wave!
Head on over to the forums for the full report!
We’ve got another great Concept Series mockup by localgotal, which entails another great group of figures that Hasbro should release in a multi-pack. I can only wonder how much better the Star Wars brand might be doing at retail these days if ideas such as these were actually available at retail by the folks at Hasbro rather than many of the decisions they’ve made the past couple years. Head on over to the forums and share your thoughts!
Reports have been showing the second wave of Legends figures popping up at some Toys”R”us stores.
I’m happy to report that St. Louis can be added to the list of sightings now, as I was able to score a couple of the new Stormtrooper (two in total, across two stores).
Personal Note: This guy will be hard to army build at one per case, but hopefully Hasbro realizes that this is one 5POA figure that definitely is in demand, and will do something good about it.
Wal-Mart stores are starting to receive the second wave of Mission Series 2-pks. Priced under $10, these would have been a great Christmas gift a few weeks ago… but hey, better in January than not at all, right? Your mileage may vary, but next time you’re by a Wal-Mart it may be worth checking to see if they have them.
The first Yakfinities Customizing Challenge of 2014 is underway! This should be a fun one, so get out those customizing supplies and show us what you’re capable of!
Reminder: Yakfinities #50 results will be posted next week.
