When Arnie and Marjorie decide to spend a little extra time in New York after tirelessly covering Toy Fair 2012, the B-Team from Cincinnati take the reigns! Jerry and Dan are back to discuss their thoughts on Phantom Menace 3D, Hasbro’s Toy Fair announcements, and some other news that surfaced this past week. Hear what they think of the new Ewok and X-Wing figure packs as well as the look of the Star Wars line 2013. Was Yoda a good choice or should Hasbro have started a tradition of using characters that are introduced and killed off in the same movie? But, that’s not all, Brock from the Star Wars Action New Book Club is back to review the Darth Maul short stories and we have Steve the Ginergerprince’s 2012 debut with his UK report.

Forum member StooperZero also ran across TVC figures marked at $4.00 each at his local Wal-Mart, and I saw the same thing at three different stores in the St. Louis area today as well, but of note, in my area at least the clearance only applies to the 2010-2011 line.

While hunting for new/any Vintage figures tonight, I rescanned that new DPCI (087-06-2413) that turned up in the Target database last month. To my surprise, it now registered at an odd clearance? price of $6.28. Too bad this particular store didn’t have any new figures to take advantage of this bargain.
On a similar note, reader “Scott from Tulsa” sends in a report of finding TVC figures clearanced down to $4.00 at his local Walmart.

The crew at POTF2.com has posted, courtesy of VolkerC, a shot of the “missing” battle packs shown in the presentation at Toy Fair 2012. As you will see, the figures in the Bespin Battle set and Duel on Naboo set are all new sculpts, but there is a catch. They have limited articulation, harkening back to the 77-85/1995 POTF2 era. Head on over to POTF2.com for a closer look then voice your opinion on these in our forums.
