Episode 431: Exclusive Showdown
Marjorie and Arnie give a hands-on review of Hasbro’s San Diego Comic-Con International exclusives, Johnathan runs down the Toys R Us AT-ST set, and Steve the Gingerprince reports in from the London Film & Comic Con!
The irony of San Diego Comic-Con is that while everyone rushes to buy the exclusives, there’s no time at the con to really look at them! Now Marjorie and Arnie are back home and have unpacked their SDCC shipment, and are ready to tell you if Hasbro’s 6-Inch Jabba the Hut exclusive, or the SDCC/Toys R Us exclusive Cantina Showdown set, was worth the trouble.
Also on this week’s show Steve the Gingerprince reports in from the London Film and Comic Con. With a not-too-surprising number of Star Wars guests (given where Episode VII is filming) and tons of toys, listen in to find out about that European event.
With Johnathan telling us what’s hitting stores, a look at the Star Wars Celebration pin set, and more, it’s all in this episode of Star Wars Action News!
More Bad News: Price Hikes Hitting Target
We’ve been receiving (and witnessing first hand) reports that Target is instituting a new series of price hikes for the Saga Legends and Black Series 3-3/4″ lines – approaching $8 and $12 respectively (depending on market) to coincide with their new aisle resets. Personally, I think the price hike on the Saga Legends is a much harder pill to swallow than the increase on the TBS figures. Granted, haters of the SL figures weren’t going to be swayed with a price drop on this line either, but it sure hurts the enthusiasm I have had for the line.
What do you think? Discuss the matter in our forums.
Target Stores Receiving Black Series Singles
There have been reports that Target stores are getting in “single figures” from The Black Series for a little while now rather than full cases. Understandably, some collectors have thought this information was incorrect. But this is certainly happening, as illustrated by the above evidence provided by Darth Chuck.
I have seen evidence of this on one occasion so far. Who else is seeing this? Is this an eye-opener for Hasbro? Head on over to the forums and let us know what you’re seeing at your local Target and share your thoughts on this interesting development after the jump!
Photonovel Spotlight: CloneCrazy
Tonight we welcome back photonovel guru CloneCrazy to the front page spotlight, as he’s just released the first installment in his latest photonovel series, Will of the Force.
Check out this spectacular beginning to his new series, and be sure to leave him some feedback for his creative efforts after the jump!
Is Anything Actually Selling at Retail?
Pretty much anywhere you go these days that has put out Hasbro’s latest Star Wars merchandise, you see the same thing. Pegs of Command Series not selling, Hero Series X-Wings begging to be purchased, etc. Very little of anything targeted at the kids is actually moving; which most collectors predicted as soon as we saw what Hasbro had planned for this Fall. The only thing really moving out of the “new” stuff is the 6″ scale Jabba and Biker Scout.
I spoke with a Toys”R”us employee today who echoed the exact same sentiments that we are all saying here – the items Hasbro is making simply are not what the Star Wars market wants to spend money on and he sees it first-hand every day. The customers are looking, but are walking away empty-handed. Head on over to the forums to see what he had to say.
Episode 27: HTS Hassles, Helmets and Han!

New Product Hitting, Your Thoughts?
By now most Target and Toys”R”us stores are putting out Hasbro’s latest Star Wars products, but how many of us are excited by what we are seeing?
I contend that what retailers now have in their Hasbro Star Wars sections is about as exciting as staring at a blank wall, but do you feel the same way? Head on over to the forums for an all-out honest opinion piece on the current situation, and feel free to share your thoughts as well after the jump!
