Need Sabine? Check Kohl’s
Reader Tim M. sends this report (and reminder) from his local Kohl’s store in Sacremento
Went to Kohl’s today in Sacramento area of California and came across this end cap of Rebels figures, the 2 packs were $14.99 with 10% off.
Thanks Tim! I really like that display tray that they are sitting in too. Hmmm….
If TFA is 5POA, will you still play?
There’s rumblings among fans (though nothing is confirmed, so don’t freak out yet) that Hasbro may be abandoning the quality of figures so many of us have grown to know and love over the years in favor of a 5POA-only line for the upcoming Episode VII 3.75″ scale line.
If Hasbro did go this route, how would this affect your buying habits? Would you be pleased? Freaked out? Done altogether? Would you even care? Share your thoughts here or join in the debate in our forums!
UPDATE: Saga Legends/Rebels Assortments Discontinued?
In what will surely provide great joy and additional grist for the mill to a certain segment of collectors, there is word from Andrew’s Toyz via Facebook that Hasbro has discontinued current cases assortments for the Saga Legends/Rebels line.
Hasbro has discontinued the current Saga Legends figure assortments and will not be making additional shipments. We may receive some cases of Wave 7, but we are not sure at this time. While unconfirmed, this is likely to devote resources towards The Force Awakens product line.
We have reached out to Hasbro via Hunter PR for any comment.
UPDATE: We have clarification from our sponsor at DorksideToys, the current cases assortments are sold out (not canceled) and won’t see another production run.

No Hasbro Panel at Celebration Anaheim
As you’ve seen the panel schedule for Celebration Anaheim has been released and conspicuously absent from the listing was a dedicated Hasbro panel. We can confirm that Hasbro will NOT be offering a panel/presentation as in years past – only a booth presence throughout the event.
As Obi-Wan said, “Patience”.

Customs & Answers is Back!
We are very pleased to deliver a new installment Customs & Answers for all you customizing fans out there!

Go grab a drink and kick back and enjoy some helpful tips and walkthroughs from one of our favorite customizers in the hobby after the jump!
