Dan and Jerry are back to host this week’s episode while Arnie and Marjorie go on-location to Chicago Comic Con! We share all the latest on the new LEGO sets that have been hitting–most of which include new mini-figures! As Jerry has stepped in the world of a Nintendo 3DS with its latest price drop, the duo from Cincinnati take this week as an opportunity to reminisce about their favorite Star Wars video games of yesterday. Topped off with a store report from Justin and a con-report from Arnie and Marjorie, this week’s show is packed!.
PROS: This all new offering from Hasbro has a lot of play value for being a piece of artillery. It features a surprising amount of articulation in the legs and turret portions. The gunner platform work well here… on par in terms of expandability of play along this lines of the AT-TE and Turbo Tank’s “extra features”. Trust me, you’ll want more than one.
CONS: You’ll want more than one.

CLEARANCE SALE: We’ve cut pricing on hundreds more items this afternoon and updated all our sales menus. Take a spin through the menus for great discounts on over 4000 total items. Many great items from top brands and manufacturers are included – take a look here:
PROS: Nice, crisp deco on the helmet and shoulder bells, even the soles of the boots are painted. For an exclusive, the price is comparable to the standard basic figure price. (Even cheaper if purchased during the current 2 for $10.99 promotion.)
CONS: Should have been designated as “Blackout” as identified by LFL and The Clone Wars Episode Guide. A bit light on accessories for a clone and maybe under articulated for some collectors as it uses the divisive “Stone” body.

Back in January, Medicom revealed their DX Series 3 of Kubricks consisting of Floppy Hat Luke, R5-D4, Garindan, Sandtrooper with Sentry Droid, Tusken Raider (Kenner deco, vinyl cape), Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (Kenner deco, vinyl cape) – all including parts to build a Kubrick-scale version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. Now that this set has been released and is shipping, the chase figures have been revealed to be Uncle Owen and a Kenner-style version of Hammerhead! As bonus for those that order Master Cases (4 boxes of 12) collectors receive a Limited Edition Mos Eisley/Tatooine cardboard display.
One of cinema’s most enduring and beloved franchises, the Star Wars Saga has made its imprint on books, TV, toys, soft goods, kitchen wares, video games, comic books and much, much more—but never as a legal tender coin set available in the U.S. Until now!
Last month we spotlighted the amazing work of forum member TOYSdeFORCE in the Yakface forums, and now we have received notice that using the same custom body mold, there will be some colorful variants including variations of armor and accessories.
Things are looking like there will even be a small production run for collectors to be able to purchase their own figures!
