I’ve seen numerous collections over the years but few have made my jaw drop like Niktom’s – check out the amazing collection of the creator of the great Yak’s Pub comic strip after the jump!
Amazing prizes to be had!
Just a friendly reminder that the Episode VII Customizing Challenge wraps up on March 30! This gives everyone just over a week left to make a custom – the grand prize winner will get to choose from the above prizes, and then two random winners will also receive an item from the above prize pool!
Even if you have never created a custom figure before, you have a chance at winning big just by making a custom of a character that you think could appear in the next Star Wars film.
It’s that easy! Make your custom and post a pic of it in the Yakface Forums, or at Imperialshipyards.net and you are entered into the contest!

Tauntaun Tease from Sideshow?
Sideshow Collectibles has posted via Twitter/Facebook/Instagram a curious image that is simply captioned as:
“Who (or what) do these packs belong to? #StarWars #Hoth #EmpireStrikesBack”.
By the looks of it, we can expect a Tauntaun (of some scale) in the not-too-distant future and with that can a Hoth Luke or Han be far behind?
Kmart Clearance Finds Continue
If you have a Kmart in your area, keep in mind that all clearance toys are an additional 50% off and this deal goes on until March 30.
Many stores have multiple areas where they pile up their clearance toys, which means if you dig a bit you might be able to score some great finds at drastically reduced prices, like forum member darthapathy did with the AT-ST crew members for just $5.50.

Episode 385: C-3PO Is Happy To See You
The stores are full of the same ol’, same ol’, not because there are no new Star Wars action figures but because the stores are so full of 2012 figures that Hasbro is only shipping the new 2013 figures to other countries. If you want the 2013 Yoda carded Clone Wars and Movie Heroes figures American Star Wars collectors need to buy from Canada or Germany at considerable expense in shipping and surcharges. Is it worth it? Marjorie and Arnie have the final wave of Clone Wars figures in hand from a Canadian seller, and review each figure on this week’s Star Wars Action News! Listen to find out if these repacks, repaints, and retools are worth your bounty.
And speaking of bounty, on this week’s podcast is one bad bounty hunter — Bossk! Sideshow’s 12-inch Bossk figure is in stock and shipping now, and Star Wars Action News reviews the exclusive version on this week’s show. With interchangeable hands, feet, and head (with the exclusive version) listen to hear the hosts’ thoughts on this latest sixth-scale figure!
With a vintage filled report from the Toy Man Toy Show in St. Louis, a way to get an exclusive T-Shirt design this weekend at Wizard World St. Louis, and more, it’s all in this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!
