Now that some of us are starting to receive mighty Jabba’s Sail Barge, we’re curious what your first impressions are once having it in person! Are you blown away, or are you finding aspects you feel Hasbro should have done better on?
Forum member Lance Quazar has posted some nice pics and shared some observations for your viewing pleasure here. Check out the images, and share your own thoughts here or in the forums.
Personal Note: I’m reading from various buyers that the Ithorian corpse is not removable… that’s kind of a letdown. But overall most of what I’m reading is extremely positive, outside of some not-so-great experiences with boxes arriving damaged. I can’t wait to finally receive mine and get it all set up and hope we see several more offerings on par with this in the Star Wars 3.75″ line.
If you have a Best Buy in your area, if may be worth your time to swing by and check out their toy/collector section. Quite a few various Star Wars items have been marked down (as well as other brands, such as Marvel). Good luck and as always your mileage may vary.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme switching over to something that until recently didn’t seem to be in Hasbro’s game plan… PLAYSETS! But of course, something has changed at Hasbro on this front (for the better).
What playsets do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

As reported last week, the latest 6″ wave of TBS figures is hitting Target stores. In a rare stroke of good luck, I stumbled upon them in the St. Louis area as well this morning. Share your store reports here or in the forums after the jump!
Personal Note: The Mimban Han Solo is really one of the best looking figures I’ve seen Hasbro make in any scale – fingers crossed that it’s not too long before we see a TVC counterpart of such quality that is readily available to the market…
Thanks to some excellent Toy Fair photos courtesy of Justin LaSalata, we can do a little side by side shot of the upcoming Stormtrooper releases coming in The Vintage Collection (Han Solo and Rogue One version). Check them out after the jump!
Yak’s Top Ten is back yet again, with the theme switching over to Vehicles.

There have been reports of Walmart stores receiving more shipments of the 6″ Mimban Stormtrooper recently, and this morning I saw the same thing.
If you’re looking to add to your ranks, it might worth your time to stop by your local Walmart to see if they have received new shipments (or are receiving for the first time). Happy hunting!
Yak’s Top Ten is back for another round, with the theme switching over to Creatures.

Kmart.com orders from their $7.50 TVC sale are showing up, and as most others, my order was wrong. The above figures do not appear to be Death Troopers or Dr. Aphra.
Personal Note: At least these figures arrived very mint on package (they handled the contents way better than I expected and these might be the best condition cardbacks on TVC that I’ve seen), but it’s still not what I ordered. I’m too lazy to go through the hassle of returning these, and will find a customizing use for the figures, but I won’t be ordering from them again. For anything.
