Upon my travels this morning, I managed to scored some of the figures from the newest Clone Wars wave at Walmart. I missed out on Savage Opress but did pick up Chewbacca, Even Piell, Jar Jar Binks, R7-D4 and the new, and much-improved, Captain Rex.

Toyguide Update: Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon from The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: This all new offering from Hasbro has a lot of play value for being a piece of artillery. It features a surprising amount of articulation in the legs and turret portions. The gunner platform work well here… on par in terms of expandability of play along this lines of the AT-TE and Turbo Tank’s “extra features”. Trust me, you’ll want more than one.
CONS: You’ll want more than one.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this vehicle is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
Toyguide Update: Stealth Ops Clone Trooper (TRU Exclusive)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Stealth Operations Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: Nice, crisp deco on the helmet and shoulder bells, even the soles of the boots are painted. For an exclusive, the price is comparable to the standard basic figure price. (Even cheaper if purchased during the current 2 for $10.99 promotion.)
CONS: Should have been designated as “Blackout” as identified by LFL and The Clone Wars Episode Guide. A bit light on accessories for a clone and maybe under articulated for some collectors as it uses the divisive “Stone” body.

UPDATE: Toys”R”Us Sale – 2/$10.99
You’ll want to make sure that Toys”R”Us is on your list of retail stops this week, as they are running another of their 2/$10.99 sales on basic Hasbro figures – Star Wars, GI Joe, and other Hasbro brands are included – and for once, the Vintage figures are included as well! Good luck on those toy runs, with these prices it’s a good excuse to add a couple more army builders, stock up for customs, etc… and as a reminder, Wal-Mart is usually pretty good about matching competitor prices if you bring an ad in with you!
