After a brief delay, the LEGO Star Wars Umbaran MHC (Mobile Heavy Cannon) has started showing up at stores. For some reason this set took a little longer to hit shelves (here in Minnesota anyway), but I managed to find this set at Target yesterday for $49.99. Click the image above for a closer look.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted word that Jakks Pacific have acquired the rights to sell Star Wars products and one of their first offerings is a Giant Size Darth Vader. These extra large figures are 31″ tall, feature multiple points of articulation with incredible detail and sculpt. You may recall their Batman figure from The Dark Knight Rises last year. Head on over to JTA for a mockup of the figure and packaging and watch for this figure’s release later this year.

Hey again friends, fellow collectors, and the occasional Frankenstein monster. I’m always thinking about ways to convince you Collector-ActionFigures.com is worth the 30 seconds it takes to join. I’ve created contests and other promotions to get your attention in the past, but I really believe that if you’re an action figure collector at heart, you won’t need to be lured into liking DASH. That’s why I put together this video to succinctly and creatively explain why you should join DASH in the first place.
So why join Collector-ActionFigures? Watch and see.
We might not be giving away the latest Transformers figure or a free G.I. Joe toy, but DASH is worth it anyway! There’s simply no better way for collectors like us to keep track of their collection. If nothing else, sign up so I don’t feel like I wasted a week making that video, haha!
I hope to see you around DASH, holding your holy grail and leaving a comment on the blog!
