Episode 402: Separation Anxiety

Star-Wars-Action-News-Enhanced-Podcast-Feed2-300x225

New figures are on the pegs and Marjorie and Arnie are back in the Star Wars Action News studio ready to review them! On this week’s podcast the hosts look at new new Saga Legends figures from Hasbro. With limited articulation and smaller card backs these figures have divided collectors between those who demand more collector-oriented figures and those who find the limited pose-ability a throwback to vintage collecting. Hasbro claims they’re some of the best sculpts they’ve ever done. Listen to find out the final verdict!

But with the new items shipping there seem to be new problems for collectors. The figures seem to have problem staying on the cards, and reports are widespread regarding shipping damage to the Amazon exclusive Slave I. Even those who received perfect Slave I vehicles may still have issues as many report manufacturing issues and missing parts with Boba Fett’s iconic ship. Marjorie and Arnie run down these disappointing details.

With listener voicemails giving their thoughts on the toys, a review of the Star Wars chess set, and a Legend-ary Darth Maul collectible, it’s all on this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!

2014 LEGO Star Wars Sets Revealed

Our friends at MintInBox.net have posted detailed images of several new LEGO Star Wars sets coming for 2014. It is a very Prequel Trilogy-heavy assortment, but with some of huge OT offerings we’ve received in 2013 it understandable to show the PT some extra attention. Plus, these sets were probably well in the works before the announcement of the Episode III 3-D cancellation.
