PROS: Hasbro goes back to the well with the best Clone Wars version of Yoda produced thus far. The articulation is great for a figure of this size and esthetic.
CONS: It’s a repack with nothing new save for a different colored base, die and new game card.

Here is a quick update from Big Bad Toy Store about a variety of new pre-orders as well as some cool new arrivals.
PRE-ORDER: 12″ STAP & BATTLE DROID
Sideshow is releasing another 12″ army-builder set with the STAP with Battle Droid. The STAP comes on an articulated base and includes a 1/6 scale Battle Droid pilot. We have this set listed at $169.99, $5 off the MSRP.
NEW ARRIVAL: STAR WARS 2012 CLASS I FLEET VEHICLES WAVE 01 – CASE
This new vehicle and figure set includes the Sith Speeder, the Naboo Royal Fighter, the Attack Recon Fighter and the Republic Assault Submarine, each with a driver, rider or pilot. We have them listed as a case of 4 at $69.99; we also have them listed individually (except the submarine, which is sold out), priced at $19.99 each.
PROS: Despite this figure being a repack of the first sculpt from 2009, there is something new brought to the table here by way of extra weapons borrowed from previously released figures.
CONS: Since this is a repack of the first Cad Bane figure released, chances are you already have it and the extra weapons assortment isn’t enough to warrant a repeat purchase. Articulation is limited in the legs and frustrating in the arms due to the hoses on the gauntlets. There are better sculpts available for Bane, namely the CW42 version which included TODO-360.

YodasNews is celebrating their 8th Anniversary bringing their unique brand of Star Wars reporting to collectors and fans. Read on for details on how you can take part in celebrating this milestone and congrats YodasNews!
PROS: Fans of Savage get another crack at adding him to their collections. Nothing appears “different” about this release sculpt or accessory wise as compared to the previous version so he is totally skippable (unless you need the new-fangled Galactic Battle Game card).
CONS: It’s a repack of the shirtless version which seemed to have reached a wider distribution than the armored version that remains elusive for some collectors.

One of my local Target store did their reset overnight which yielded new shelf tags for the Movie Heroes and Clone Wars basic figures and most notably the Vintage Collection. The previous DPCI for the TVC line was 087-06-1351 and this particular store charges $10.99 for them (yuck) the new 2012 Vintage DPCI is 087-06-2413 and is priced at $8.99. Save these numbers to do some checking on your own if your store hasn’t reset their aisle or endcaps yet.
Our friends at EndorExpress have revealed that after the recent success of the all-new Star Tours Starspeeder 1000, the price has jumped from an attractive $54.95 up to $69.95. I guess “The Mouse” altered the deal. Pray he doesn’t alter it any further.
The Phantom Menace is returning to theaters and the Star Wars marketing machine is partying like it’s 1999! Puzzles, 3-D glasses, notebooks, coloring books, and more is hitting shelves to tie into the theatrical release hype. And with Valentine’s Day coming a few short days after The Phantom Menace’s release, the Valentine’s Day Star Wars items have exploded all over the Target holiday aisle. Classroom Valentine sets, boxes of chocolates, candies in steins, plushies, teddy bears, and so much more, we run it all down on this week’s Star Wars Action News!
