Secret Santa Gifts Arriving

Yakface forum members participating in this year’s Secret Santa Christmas Custom Exchange are starting to have some very cool gifts showing up on their doorstep, like the above Mon Calamari medic that DanOfTheDead received from Incom.

I’ve also already received a very cool gift from forum member DarthDaddy.

We’ll have a roundup report of all of the cool customs Yakface forum members made for each other after the holidays, so stay tuned!

Yakfinities Deadline Approaching

As usual we’ve had some amazing custom entries in the latest customizing challenge, which ends December 31.  So there’s still time to whip up an entry or two for your chance at some free figures – head on over to the forums for the latest entries, which just might help inspire you if you’re stumped on any ideas for a custom!

Deluxe Dropships Landing

One of the cooler deluxe items from the Clone Wars has started showing up in heavier numbers recently, with sightings at various Wal-Mart and Target stores.  Keep your eyes peeled for this one as two of the three times I’ve seen it, it’s been stuffed behind dust collecting Darth Maul speeders and also some STAP vehicles.

Of course if you don’t luck out and find one soon, there’s always a good chance that you’ll see these dumped at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls next year…

Older Waves Continue to Surface

By most accounts, this has been a dismal year at retail for the Star Wars line, starting with a massive overproduction of the first wave of vintage, followed up by Hasbro carrying forward far too many TPM figures in subsequent waves that ended up creating a terrible logjam at retail – so many amazing figures this year have been nearly impossible to score at retail thanks to this disaster. 

However, there are still rays of hope, as with Christmas rapidly approaching, retailers are beginning to stock the pegs a little more frequently with waves we expected to be able to find over the summer (better late than never, right?). 

If you’re brave enough to fight the crowds at retail, and are persistent enough, you just might be able to score a few late gems this year – I’ve personally seen the Evazan wave three different times (all at different retailers) over the past two weeks, and other forum members are reporting similar finds.

Thankful for the Ladies!

Happy Thanksgiving!  We hope everyone has enjoyed this day and been able to spend it with your loved ones, and enjoy some good eats and some great football games!

There have also been some fantastic entries in the current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge recently, and they are very easy on the eyes – click on the image above to catch up with the latest customs submitted, and we’ve also started category discussion for the next Yakfinities.  Registered forum members can offer their ideas here.

The Enloe Trials: Chapter 2 Approaching

Although it may appear that I’ve been just sitting around like Freelo pictured above, I’ve actually been working on a lot of behind the scenes prep work for the next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series.

Today some news has broke that Harrison Ford is open to returning as Han Solo – this could be true, but until anything is made official, just keep your fingers crossed!
