Yak reader Chad Ryan writes in to let us know that he found the Droid Gunship at one of his Target stores near Huntsville, Alabama. Like the Vintage Collection figures, distribution for new vehicles have been pretty hit or miss in some areas. So, if you are still on the lookout for this one, start checking those Target shelves again.
Today (March 31st) is the deadline to have your redemption forms postmarked for the Mailaway Sergeant Bric and Battle Mat for the Clone Wars line. If you still need a form, you can download one from Hasbro’s website here.

The Yakface Toyguide gets a quick update today with the addition of the newly discovered packaging variant for the AT-RT Driver from the Vintage Collection’s Wave 6.
This variation relocates the separately packaged backpack and attached it (upside down) to the figures back. Not sure why they went this route as it seems like an unnecessary change as well as making it look like the figure comes with less “stuff”. Anywho… just a heads up for those still interested in variants.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
Sideshow Collectibles has updated their production blog with images (confirming the switchout Phase I and II helmets) and pre-order info for the Commander Bly 12″ figure. Head on over for preview images – pre-orders start this Thursday!
