Adam Pawlus over at Galactic Hunter confirmed in their latest QnA that collectors’ fears of the delayed Obi-Wan with Attack Shuttle and Boba Fett with Speeder Bike Figure with Vehicle sets, first revealed at Toy Fair 2011, have been cancelled or are “no longer in the line”.
Those looking to get a jump on the onslaught of Episode I product for 2012 (if you don’t already have it) can start looking to eBay as a few of the “new” products are starting to show up. HobbyStockCN has several loose Movie Heroes* figures like Darth Maul, Destroyer Droid, Yoda, Darth Vader, Super Battle Droid, Walmart’s Exclusive Ric Olie and generic Naboo Pilot as well as new Clone Wars figures Cutup and the Bomb Squad Trooper.
As reminder, none of the above Movie Heroes figures are really “new” as they are repacked/repainted sculpts from the past several years. Also take note that the Darth Maul (repacked SAGA #02/42) has the lower “skirt” assembled backward as compared to the previous sculpt. No word if the final product will ship with this error.
Here is the latest from Past Generation Toys!
Shipping cost on ALL orders that are shipped within the lower 48 US States will receive shipping. Also, we have partnered with Amazon.com and Amazon.com Prime Members can receive free 2 Day shipping.

Originally revealed at SDCC as a Target exclusive, Hasbro has confirmed through this week’s QnA session with Echo Base News that the Battlefields of Naboo Battle Pack has been cancelled for 2012. It’s possible that it may see release in the future, but for now, it can be removed from your 2012 “to-do” lists.
