According to Hasbro’s latest press release, the SDCC Carbon Freezing Chamber is now $10 higher (up from $69.99) from the info released a couple weeks ago. Here is the updated info:
STAR WARS
STAR WARS VINTAGE SPECIAL EDITION CARBONITE CHAMBER COLLECTOR’S PACK
(Approximate Retail Price: $79.99; Ages 4 & up; Available through HasbroToyShop.com Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con)
Pretend to visit an alternate reality with this incredible package of seven 3.75” STAR WARS figures—one figure from each film in the Saga, and one figure only available in this collectible set.
UPDATE: Yakface Reader and local collector friend Matt M. noted that maybe the reason for the price increase for this set is due to the fact of Hasbro raising the prices of their merchandise starting July 1. A sound theory for sure.

Upon the reveal of the new Target Exclusive Droid 3-pk by Sandtroopers.com, forums and social media outlets have been abuzz. Forum member JACKOFTRADZE over at JediDefender was quick to point out that Power Droid included in this set is actually a new sculpt and not a simple repaint of a previously released Gonk Droid mold. Based upon the discussions, I whipped up a quick analysis of the differences between this new sculpt and the prior versions to point out just where some of the differences lie.
