SDCC 2010: Hasbro Presentation


If you’ve been following us on Facebook during SDCC you’ve already seen this but if you haven’t you can now view the Hasbro SDCC Presentation here. Not a lot of new info is to be learned from it if you’ve been with us through the spy reports and other hot news broken on other sites, but you will get a sense of where and when to find the newest products and exclusives for the rest of the year. Give it a look and thanks to the team at Hasbro for making this available to us.

SDCC 2010 Coverage: Lego

We’ve activated the Lego Gallery and loaded with fresh images showcasing many new sets (some hitting store shelves now) and previews of upcoming sets like the just announced UCS Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Starfighter and the mega-huge Imperial Shuttle. All this and more as we cover San Diego Comic Con 2010!

You can also view these photos on our Facebook page where you can leave your feedback/comments as they’re added!

SDCC 2010 Coverage: Gentle Giant

We’ve activated the Gentle Giant Gallery and loaded with fresh images showcasing several new mini busts like 2-1B (limited to 1980 pieces) and the PGM Snow Bunny Padme and animated maquettes but the best has got to be the 12″ Vintage Figures that are, in a word, AWESOME! Check them out now!

Vintage Wave One Found at Target

According to a trusty source at Coreplanets.com, at least one St. Louis area Target has started putting the new vintage figures on the pegs. They seem to be ringing up fine at the registers and are priced at $7.99.
So, if you don’t have a Target in your area and haven’t found these yet, it might be worth your while to swing by your local Target to see if you can score these for yourself.

If you aren’t already doing so, be sure not only watch the main page here but also follow our site onTwitter and Facebook. We’ll be updating throughout the SDCC festivities starting tonight with photos right from the show floor and with news as it happens! Although many of Hasbro’s secrets have been spoiled this year, surely there are a few more surprises left in her and from the other Star Wars license holders presenting at Comic Con!
