Hasbro is reporting slightly improved third-quarter financials, which exceeded Wall Street expectations. Hasbro is crediting much of this to stronger sales of Star Wars and Transformers toys. Check out more details after the jump!

Black Series Repack Wishlist
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are soliciting collector participation in order to gather a list of figures we’d like to see re-issued in the Black Series. Head on over for the details and guidelines for submission.
Five Below Finds Continue
These figures may not be to everyone’s liking, but last year’s second wave of Movie Heroes had some really nicely sculpted figures with very acceptable articulation and they are showing up at Five Below locations, for the wonderful price of $5.00 per figure.
Personal Note: I can’t help but wonder if 2012 would have shaken out different if Hasbro had put this sort of effort into the Movie Heroes line at the 2012 launch; and supplemented the line with better figures for repacks rather than the direction they took. If Hasbro had put more effort into the kid line for 2012, and Movie Heroes had not crashed and burned, would we even be seeing 5POA figures at all?
Kmart Online Order Fulfillment Lacking
As suspected, some collectors have experienced “issues” when ordering the Kmart exclusive Scanning Crew sets online. We are reading and receiving reports that people are receiving duplicate sets (2 of one or the other) rather than one of each. In an extreme example, a local collector friend of mine JediMoses received 10 of the Death Star sets instead of an equal allotment of each.
$5.00 Legends at Big Lots
If you have a Big Lots in your area, Legends figures are showing up there, and the price is nice… $5.00 every day.

A Wolf In Ghost’s Clothing…
It appears that the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels is, to borrow a phrase, ‘more than meets the eye’. Tucked in the back of the Ghost is a smaller fighter called the Wolf which has a very vintage Kenner mini rig feel.
Hasbro, please tell us that you are working on a Ghost/Wolf vehicle release for 2014? My 10 year old inner child is screaming for one!
Thanks to LightsaberRattling for the heads-up.
Q&A Sessions with Hasbro
