Toyguide Updates

CW28 Clone Pilot Goji

Leave a comment

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Clone Pilot Goji from the Clone Wars Collection.

PROS: A solid figure and serves its purpose in piloting the various starfighters currently available. Great helmet deco.

CONS: Utilizes the “Stone” body, which turns off many collectors due to the downgrade of a few key points of articulation (no ball-jointed wrist, ankles and torso).

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Remember, you can weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide onfacebook and in our forums.

This is a bittersweet end to the series for me, but for everyone who has waited patiently for this final chapter, and all who supported me throughout this endeavor, thank you. Without support from the community, there is no way I would have kept up the motivation to continue the series.

I hope you all enjoy this final installment… so kick back for a few minutes and check it out then let me know what you think after the jump!

AT-AT Sale Update 2

Yakface reader Steven writes in with the following:

Hey it’s me again giving you the 411 on Target…. If K-Mart is sold out at their $49.99 price, and if you have an ad from them showing the sale price, Target does price matching, you may have to go to the guest services counter, but we do price matching. So if K-Mart is sold out… take your ad and try Target. Glad to try to help you guys when I can….

Thanks a bunch Steven – we hope this helps out and that any readers who attempt this walk away successful!

Update: For clarification sake, there is no K-Mart print ad that advertises this low price so you’ll most likely be out of luck in getting other retailers to price match their ultra low deal. – Jayson
