Adam Pawlus (Galactic Hunter, 16bit) has posted via twitter the sighting of the Mission Series Sabine and Stormtrooper and Wookiees pack at his Target in Arizona. Bring’em on I say.

Our friends at Galactic Hunter have posted via Facebook the reveal of 2 Target Exclusive Star Wars Rebels vehicle sets slated for November. Head on over to check out the Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced Prototype with The Inquisitor and The Phantom with Kanan Jarrus.
Hasbro’s new TVC X-Wing has been found at Toys”R”us – check out reports by both Galactichunter and Jeditemplearchives for the scoop.
I think the price tag is insane, personally… but if people are willing to pay a premium for old school packaging, Hasbro and their retail partners are going to take advantage…
Our friends at Galactic Hunter have snapped a pic from Hasbro’s booth showing a placard for an exclusive Droid Factory set coming this November for $59.99. It looks to include many of the canceled Build-A-Droids and other from the defunct Droid Factory line. Jedi Temple Archives received word at Toy Fair from Hasbro that they were trying to get these figures to the public, so it’s nice to see it’s coming to fruition.
Update: According to Galactic Hunter, the retail partner for this set is Amazon.com
Gentle Giant has some great new items on display at SDCC – the newest is this awesome realistic Clone Wars Yoda statue. Head to Galactic Hunter’s Facebook page to give it a look and like!
Amazon is also taking pre-orders for their exclusive TVC TIE Interceptor for $50.00 – shipping on Aug 15. Thanks to Adam at Galactic Hunter and Chuck M. for the tip.
German toy seller Toy Palace has posted case assortment breakdowns for the first waves of the 2013 Black Series (3-3/4″ and 6″) figures, Saga Legends and Mission Series lines.
Thanks to Mike at Galactic Hunter for the heads up.
