Custom Hero Series X-wing Fighter

While many have been quick to dismiss Hasbro’s Hero Series X-wing Fighter as a waste of retail space and tooling dollars, customizers have been transforming it into a display worthy piece that is far closer to 3-3/4″ scale than any prior X-wing release. Check out Facebook images for the amazing custom paint job by Saravana Kumar that really brings out the existing details and sculpting.

Rebels Vehicles: Loose In-Hand Pics

It’s been quite some time since collectors have had much to get excited about when it comes to  Hasbro’s vehicle offerings.  But that may change with the new assortment just now starting to hit from the Rebels line.   I really don’t think my pics do these things justice, but I do believe these vehicles are worth every penny!  For a better look, head on over to the forums!

Rebels Vehicles Hit Retail

With just a couple minutes to spare for a quick toy run to Toys”R”us today, I stumbled upon something not seen in quite some time by my weary eyes – 3.75″ scale vehicles worth picking up!   Head on over to the forums for a closer look.

Personal Note:  Priced at $22.99 each, these “mid-size” vehicles offer not only all-new sculpts, but are pretty well made too.  No, they’re not Hasbro’s finest achievement but for what the retailers are charging, it seems like a very fair deal.  These are light years better than all the Jedi Starfighters Hasbro’s been trying to force down our throats for years.  I’ll be getting pics posted of them “loose” as soon as I can, and I can already say I want at least two more walkers.  BTW, my son loves these.
