PARCO Carded Kubrick R5-D4
This weekend kicks off the Medicom/PARCO Show Exhibition and already the first Star Wars Kubrick item has been revealed via eBay – a carded version of R5-D4.
This is in essence a repack of the DX Series 3 figure. Hopefully we will get to see some actual new Kubricks over the next day or so… the drought has been long.
Thanks to our friends at JediDefender for the heads-up.
Jaw Dropping Custom Sail Barge
There’s been some amazing custom Sail Barges made over the years, and this auction listing is one of the best ones I’ve seen. Check it out and enjoy all the pics of this spectacular vehicle/playset from ROTJ that Hasbro will hopefully turn their attention to.
Target Clearancing Hasbro Product Galore
We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.
It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality. So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line? Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?
Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.
