For Star Wars toy collectors 2012 has been exciting and frustrating in equal measure. Some of the best figures in the history of Star Wars were released, but most collectors had trouble finding them.

You might think it lacks creativity, but there’s nothing quite like a shiny new gift card underneath a tree, especially when it gives you the control. Welcome to the DASH Community Contest #7, where 10 lucky winners will win a prize that transforms into the toy of their choosing.

Assorted TVC at ToyZam
While doing some Christmas shopping this weekend, I noticed that a ToyZam store had opened at my local mall, and they have assorted TVC figures, ranging from some later waves all the way back to the first wave of TVC.
They are priced a little steep at $11.99, but are on sale at Buy 1 Get 1 50% off – so if you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth your while to check them out.
