Jumbo Kenner Cantina Playset Pre-Order

Gentle Giant is now taking pre-orders for their Jumbo Kenner Cantina Playset! Enjoy a new way to display all of your favorite Star Wars Jumbo Vintage Kenner figures and recapture that sense of wonder you had when you first saw this in the Holiday Wishbook!

Update: For folks that are balking at the price of this piece, the following comes straight from Ashly Powell, Director of Product Development at Gentle Giant on YodasNews Facebook page.

Hey guys! Just an FYI — the Cardboard Cantina set is huge – and is being printed here right in the U.S.A. It’s not cheap setting up a print run for a small qty, plus this comes die-cut and in the collectors packaging.

UPDATE: Fighter Pods Series 3 Hitting Stores

For fans of the Fighter Pods out there (all 1% of you), I found the blind “Mystery” bags for Series 3 at my local Target this morning. Collectors of this line will want to be on the hunt for these 5 exclusive Fighter Pods Rampage figures (only found in Series 3 bags): Super Battle Droid, Luke Skywalker (Endor Gear)*,  Wicket W. Warrick, Scout Trooper and Jawa.

UPDATE: The packaging for the Fighter Pods is incorrect as it shows the X-Wing Luke Skywalker (with blaster) as exclusive for these bags, that figure is actually exclusive to the Series 3 X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter set.
