Our Facebook followers today get a Toyguide Update Preview for the Clone Wars Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon. This is one cool piece featuring a rotating and elevating barrel, articulated legs, flip down treads (with rolling wheels) launching missiles, and flip out platform with blast shield! Head on over to our Facebook page for the preview album. Look for this to start hitting stores in your area soon.
Our friend Dan at swcollector.com sends in a report that he found the Toys”R”Us exclusive Stealth Ops Clone Trooper, Deluxe Rebel Transport Speeder and Geonosian Speeder along with the AV-7 at his store today. Great news for those waiting for new product to hit the shelves!
Per the description of the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack at HasbroToyShop, Salacious Crumb and the Mouse Droid are given their own numbers VC66 and VC67 respectively. Which means if you’re a MOC collector (or have OCD) and you don’t get this set (or at least these two carded figures), you won’t have a complete carded Vintage set.
As you are probably painfully aware by now, HasbroToyShop this morning placed the SDCC exclusives up for sale on their site, including the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack. Needless to say, the site couldn’t handle the rush of traffic to order this and the other exclusives, forcing many to miss out on this highly sought after piece. Couple this latest snafu with the frustration collectors are having finding new product in general and you have the perfect storm for breaking the Tauntaun’s back. Collectors in forums and Facebook and Twitter are voicing their disgust. Let’s hope that Hasbro and HasbroToyShop gets the message (1-800-224-4438).

For your review, here is the Hasbro SDCC Panel Presentation…

There were several new items on display that were rumored, leaked or have been found at retail before their official unveiling here so just pretend to be surprised as you read on…
