Got Merchants?
Our current customizing challenge focuses on custom made Merchant figures, and runs through the end of September. That means there’s still plenty of time to roll up your sleeves and start on your own custom figure for this Yakfinities.
So head on over to the forums, and check out the details and the latest entries too. And remember, our love runs deep for our participants so as always we’ll have some random winners selected that will receive some pretty cool prizes.
Target Stores Receiving Black Series Singles
There have been reports that Target stores are getting in “single figures” from The Black Series for a little while now rather than full cases. Understandably, some collectors have thought this information was incorrect. But this is certainly happening, as illustrated by the above evidence provided by Darth Chuck.
I have seen evidence of this on one occasion so far. Who else is seeing this? Is this an eye-opener for Hasbro? Head on over to the forums and let us know what you’re seeing at your local Target and share your thoughts on this interesting development after the jump!
New Product Hitting, Your Thoughts?
By now most Target and Toys”R”us stores are putting out Hasbro’s latest Star Wars products, but how many of us are excited by what we are seeing?
I contend that what retailers now have in their Hasbro Star Wars sections is about as exciting as staring at a blank wall, but do you feel the same way? Head on over to the forums for an all-out honest opinion piece on the current situation, and feel free to share your thoughts as well after the jump!
Yakfinities Customizing Challenge #53
For all you veteran customizers (and those of you itching for an excuse to finally get into this part of the hobby), Yakfinities #53 runs through the end of September. The theme is Merchants – which gives you the flexibility to make a custom of virtually any species you want.
So head on over to the forums to submit your entry, or kick back and check out the latest customs made by clicking on the image above.
SDCC Q&A Sessions w/ Hasbro
SDCC may be behind us, but we ‘d be remiss to not mention a couple of Q&A sessions that Hasbro held with our friends at Imperialshipyards and Jeditemplearchives during the event. Check them out by clicking on their respective links and see what Hasbro had to say!

More New Goodies at Target
After one of the largest droughts in modern Star Wars collecting history, new Star Wars items are being found (mostly at Target so far), including the very cool new Mos Eisley Cantina by Lego. While not all Target stores have officially put these items on the shelves yet, some have (and the most others have them in their stockrooms by now for imminent aisle resets). So keep your eyes peeled, and hopefully many of you have been saving your collecting dollars for the influx of new product that is about to bombard the toy aisles!
Rebels Items Hitting Target
Some Target stores are beginning to put out new Rebels product in advance of official store resets. Today I came across some new Lego sets and some of the new Star Wars Command line. If you have a Target store in your area it may be worth your while to swing by and see what you come across, but remember your success rate will likely vary as today I was turned down by a store to get me a new Black Series Deluxe Jabba, even though the store had them in the back (which I think many of us have had similar experiences in the past with that).
SDCC 2014 Coverage Announcement
As we prepare to gear up our coverage for this year’s SDCC we’d like to suggest that you enable notifications for your mobile devices. We will surely be bombarding our social media channels on Facebook (fb.com/yakfacecom) and Twitter (@yak_face) with news as it breaks — PRIOR to the news hitting our front page.
We are also conscience that some may not like the constant notfications as well so we suggest turning them OFF if so inclined.
Finally, if you see a story shared by us over the next few days, it is not an attempt to give preferential treatment to any one source or not give due credit were applicable.
All that said; sit back, relax, HAVE FUN and we hope you enjoy the show!
