Rebel Troops @ Gamestop
If your toy runs have been coming up empty lately, it might be worth your time to swing by your local Gamestop to see if the situation there is any better. Nearly every time I stop by one lately, I find something I want to pick up, like the new Rebel Fleet Trooper.
Good luck out there and let us know about your recent acquisitions after the jump!

Load the Barge!
Since we got Hasbro’s attention with the “Build the Barge” campaign, why don’t we let them know who we’d like to see fill that Sail Barge (along with Skiff Guards and Jabba’s Palace denizens)?
Rules are the same as the other Yak’s Top Tens:
- Pick up to 10 figures you’d like to see done in 3.75” The Vintage Collection scale.
- If submissions have more than ten entries, only the first ten will be considered!
- Do not list multipacks as a single entry.
- Only one vote per character.
- All figures are eligible, whether it’s a new figure, a repaint, re-issue, deluxe, etc.
- Feel free to add descriptions to any of your choices, such as pack-ins.
Voting will end on September 10 – you can do so by posting in the forums or in the comments section of this article.
