The collecting community is anxious to get their hands on the amazing diorama pieces coming soon from Galactic Merchants! And to help answer some of the many great questions that collectors have, the crew at Imperialshipyards will be hosting a podcast with the lead designer of these great environment sets this Friday at Friday, September 6th at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
So head on over to Imperialshipyards at that time and listen in!
The highly anticipated Dark Horse series, The Star Wars, hits stores this week. So be on the lookout for this very original take on the screenplay that started it all – and of note, our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is themed after Dark Horse comics too – (hint, hint)!
One of Hasbro’s better toy offerings this Fall in my opinion isn’t even in the regular Star Wars section – it’s down by the Imaginext toys – it’s the Jedi Force Jabba’s Palace Rescue set. Priced at $16.99, ths is clearly one of Hasbro’s better values these days and is a great set. It would be nice for Hasbro to continue this format for a while and include some more creatures and cool centerpiece toys in this line for the younglings.
While your mileage may vary, I’ve seen this set at a handful of Targets – but not yet at Wal-Mart or Toys”R”us. Good luck hunting if you’d like to add this to your collection (or buy for a little one!).

All the rage with the kids in the toy aisle lately (outside of LEGO, of course) seems to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Kindergartners up to adults are devouring these at retail – and there’s some things here that seem to fly in the face of what Hasbro’s doing with their action figure lines these days… these figures are highly articulated, various creatures support the main characters, new vehicles are integrated into the line, and the granddaddy of them all? The line features a huge playset! Oh and one other minor detail – these bigger, more articulated figures cost consumers less at the register than most of Hasbro’s product.
Could Hasbro learn a thing or two from Playmates? Or is Hasbro’s new direction for action figures a better model? Share your thoughts after the jump!
Forum member JawaKing has completed one of the coolest customs I’ve seen posted in our forums… ever. It’s one of the headless aliens from the Droids cartoon series… and it rocks. This is one that Hasbro really ought to look at… check it out it all its glory after the jump!
