The St. Louis ToyMan Show returns this Sunday, May 5.
With over 200 dealer tables, you never know what vintage or new Star Wars, Marvel, GI Joe, Transformers or He-Man items you might find, and often at great prices!
You may even run into yours truly and a few of our forum members!

With the reemergence of The Vintage Collection, Hasbro has been knocking quite a few Imperial army builder figures out of the park. Retail availability is another story of course due to the Wave 1 logjam, but there’s no denying that many of the recent Imperial trooper figures are extremely impressive.
That being said, what are your army-building goals moving forward? How many of the TVC Rogue One Stormtrooper figures do you want for your collection? Will Hasbro come even close to meeting demand for that figure? Do you want to see figures like the Patrol Trooper and Mud Trooper scaled down in 3.75″ scale?

We’re heading to Star Wars Celebration this weekend and for those that can track me down, I’ll be giving away a few goodies. There will be two new SWCC fan badges and like Yak Face himself, they’ll be tough to acquire, especially the chase variant. You can only obtain this version via following us on Twitter and watching for our tweet revealing its location. Each badge will also include our 2019 SWCC Yak Face Collector Coin button. Remember, we’ll also be doing a Collecting Track meet-and-greet on Sunday, April 14 at 4:30pm (Room W476) where you can get our SWCC exclusive patch wedge.
I hope to see some of you there!
A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is now underway in the forums! This theme entails characters from Tatooine, Jedha, Jakku, or any other desert setting. As usual, submissions can be from official canon, fan fic, etc. We look forward to seeing another round of great customs!
Ross stores continue to stock more and more Star Wars product at deep discount prices. Be sure to keep Ross in your toy run circulation if you have one in your area – 6″ TBS figures are still getting stocked as well.

Now that some of us are starting to receive mighty Jabba’s Sail Barge, we’re curious what your first impressions are once having it in person! Are you blown away, or are you finding aspects you feel Hasbro should have done better on?

Personal Note: I’m reading from various buyers that the Ithorian corpse is not removable… that’s kind of a letdown. But overall most of what I’m reading is extremely positive, outside of some not-so-great experiences with boxes arriving damaged. I can’t wait to finally receive mine and get it all set up and hope we see several more offerings on par with this in the Star Wars 3.75″ line.
