YAK’S TOP TEN: EXPANDED UNIVERSE

Leave a comment

Yak’s Top Ten is back for another round, taking us into another realm!

What figures do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from the Expanded Universe?  Post your TVC wishlist HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series.  Post your 6″ TBS wishlist right HERE.

Note:  Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article.  You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums.   And please indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

Also, we’re keeping Expanded Universe (or Legends if you want to call it that) pretty open to any time period, and not being strict here on what you want to define this as – but the trend in the forums seems to be “pre-Disney” genre, such as KOTOR, Shadows of the Empire, Thrawn Trilogy, The Force unleashed, etc.

Yakfinities #70: DROIDS

Leave a comment

A new Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is currently underway, and the theme is DROIDS.

So, roll up your sleeves and cobble together a droid of your own… or better yet, let’s see what kind of painting skills you’ve got too!   Or if that’s not your cup of tea, you can still check out the most recent entries by clicking here.

Personal Note:  The roundup report for Yakfinities #69 is coming soon – with over 150 custom entries, it’s taking longer than usual – apologies for the delay!

StarWars.com Removes Fan/Collecting Sites Section

Leave a comment

Back in 2014, StarWars.com relaunched with a brand new site which had a dedicated section for Fan News and Blog Sites, Fan Collecting Sites and Fan Podcasts. Jake Stevens from From 4-LOM to Zuckuss noticed that those sections now have all been removed from their Community page and replaced with a statement as follows:

Notice: Lucasfilm Ltd. strives to foster an inclusive, diverse and safe environment for our fans and we ask the same of our fan community.

No word yet if these sections will be returning. Until then, you can click on through to check out a screen shot of the section as it once looked.
