New Clone Wars at Canada TRU
New Clone Wars Wave Hitting in Canada
Our friends at Galactic Hunter are reporting that the canceled US wave of 2013 Clone Wars figures are starting to hit stores in Canada.
TRU Stocking for $4.99 Sale
Finding good figures at retail these days is no easy tasks, but reports are trickling in that indicate Toys”R”us is still getting in post-Episode One TVC figures for the current sale that runs through March 16.
With what could be shaping up to be a very disappointing Fall right around the corner with the lackluster range of figures we’ve seen for The Black Series, this sale could be one of the few enjoyable moments of 2013 when it comes to Star Wars collecting. So keep Toys”R”us on your stops list and good luck!

New Star Tours Packs
INTRODUCING THE NEW 2013 STAR WARS® Star Tours™ Action Figure Packs from Hasbro
The celebration of the amazing new Star Tours Disney theme park ride continues in 2013 with new STAR WARS Star Tours Action Figure Packs from Hasbro. Building off of the packs released in 2011, these two sets of figures introduce new Droids from the ride experience as well as a few reprised fan favorites. New figures include a blue Signal Droid, red RX Droid, a G2 Droid rebuilt from scratch for more accurate detail, and the very first appearance of a new Seeker Droid!
Toyguide Update: Jango Fett’s Slave I
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jango Fett’s Slave I from the revamped Class II assortment of vehicles in the 2013 Yoda line look.
PROS: This is a toy – plain and simple. It’s meant to cater to the young collector while offering a signature in-universe vehicle at an attractive pricepoint for parents and kids with an allowance. Slave I holds one figure/pilot well (Hasbro even took into consideration Jango’s jetpack when designing the cockpit) and the deco, while minimal is accurate in terms of color. It features manually pivoting wings (just like the super-sized “collector” version), cannons and a launching missile/projectile. I can totally appreciate what Hasbro has attempted here and it easily meets their goal of being a ship scaled down for smaller hands while maintaining the fun of a larger collector-target product. If Hasbro can produce this type of product to pave the way for more collector-targeted releases, then I’m all for it.
CONS: If you’re a stickler for accurate scale, realistic deco or a moderate number of features, there is obviously nothing for you here.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.

$5 TVC Sale at Toys”R”Us
For the next month, Toys”R”Us is having a sale on all of their Vintage figures for just $5 each. Sale is valid in-store and online.
Thanks to JediMoses for the tip.
UPDATE: Movie Heroes & Clone Wars are also on sale for $4.99 and $5.49 respectively.
Target Clearance Update
It appears that most Target stores are slashing their clearance prices down to 70% 0ff – which means if you can score any 2012 TVC figures at this price, you’ll be paying about three bucks a figure. So now is the time if you want to try and grab some cheap custom fodder, army builders, etc.
Customizer Spotlight: OG Trilogy
Diorama guru OG Trilogy returns with yet another masterpiece, with a ton of great photos which you can check out by clicking here.
Note: Isn’t it a shame that Hasbro has continued to deny their customers any sort of diorama/playset such as the great set featured above? Or something like this mockup?
Instead, the creative minds at Hasbro come up with this…
