Hasbro’s Episode VII Approach
Now that we know the official release date for Episode VII in theaters, we know that Hasbro has right around two years before the Episode VII toy line will launch.
That being said, what direction should they take this line? Should we see simple figures in the $6.00 range, or should Hasbro go all out and make premium figures that will retail around $10.00 a pop? Or two lines? Or should they try and meet in the middle with an approach similar to what worked for the Episode III line?
Join in the speculation and share your thoughts in the comments section or in the forums!

Hasbro’s 5POA Already Found on Clearance
Forum member darthmadonna has come across something Hasbro surely can’t be happy about – clearances already on their new 5POA Legends line! Head on over to the forums to share your thoughts on what could be an isolated incident, or very bad news for Hasbro.
Han shot Greedo’s foot off first?
I haven’t personally had much experience with 6″ scale figure collecting, but seeing what happened to an ankle joint on the new Black Series Greedo to forum member dj121 has me shaking my head. For $20.00, no figure should be doing this.
Hopefully this is an isolated incident, but it may be worth noting as a tale of caution. If anyone else experiences this with any of the 6″ scale Black Series, we’d like for you to share your experiences in the forums.

More Finds at Marshalls
Marshalls stores are now getting in the both the older Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon and Plo Koon Jedi Starfighter, priced at $14.99 each. Head on over to the forums and let us know if you have been able to score these as well.
Personal Note: The cannon was cool; even at full price collectors and parents seemed to purchase them. The repainted Jedi Starfighter that has been rehashed over and over? We all know the answer to that and how those things kept the Mandalorian ship from hitting like it was intended. I would assume that Marshalls stores will sell the cannons fast, but the Plo Koon ship… not so much. They’ll continue to sit at this discount store just like nearly all Jedi Starfighters have for the past several years and will end up having to be clearanced.
