While at Toys”R”us yesterday, I noticed that the Toys”R”us exclusive Endor Battle pack was marked down to an everyday price of $79.99. This may or may not be widespread, but if you are on the fence about this set – and especially if Toys”R”us runs any additional promotions, the price appears to be getting much better on this set.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebels/Saga Legends 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at the Snowtrooper (SL12).
PROS: Behind the Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker figures, the Snowtrooper is one of the best Original Trilogy figures in the Saga Legends line up. The sculpt is the most detailed of the assortment with intricate folds and textures on the suit, waist coat and boots and the inclusion of the removable backpack is a nice touch as well. Despite the limited articulation, this figure is fantastic and thankfully Hasbro deemed it worthy for re-release.
CONS: Without a neck joint of any kind, this figure is limited more than most Saga Legends figures leaving you with the most rigid of posing options.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
