Load the Barge!

Since we got Hasbro’s attention with the “Build the Barge” campaign, why don’t we let them know who we’d like to see fill that Sail Barge (along with Skiff Guards and Jabba’s Palace denizens)?

Rules are the same as the other Yak’s Top Tens:

  • Pick up to 10 figures you’d like to see done in 3.75” The Vintage Collection scale.
  • If submissions have more than ten entries, only the first ten will be considered!
  • Do not list multipacks as a single entry.
  • Only one vote per character.
  • All figures are eligible, whether it’s a new figure, a repaint, re-issue, deluxe, etc.
  • Feel free to add descriptions to any of your choices, such as pack-ins.

Voting will end on September 10 – you can do so by posting in the forums or in the comments section of this article.

From Russia with Love

Forum moderator darthvlad is oveseas in Russia right now (Nakhoda, to be precise), and sent in a couple pics of the Star Wars section of a local retailer he visited.   It’s worth the look to see what the selection is of Hasbro product that he has come across.

Personal Note:  I will stop complaining about the lack of anything TVC related at U.S. Walmart stores for a while after seeing this sadness… but just for a while.

New Force Link 2.0 Figures Hitting Walmart

Walmart may be clueless how to distribute collector geared Star Wars action figures these days, but many stores have continued to stock the “kid aimed” Force Link waves with a hint of regularity (though in many areas, not at all!).

On any note, the latest wave is popping up at various Walmart stores (reports vary from $3.00, $5.00, to full MSRP), so be on the lookout if you’re looking to acquire them.
