Sandtroopers.com has managed to gather some new intel (with photos) of 3 new Vintage 3 packs that will be coming to Target later this year.
Star Wars “Villain Set”: Stormtrooper / Darth Vader / Death Star Trooper
Star Wars “Hero Set”: Luke Skywalker (Xwing Pilot) / Ben Kenobi / Han Solo (VOTC version!)
The Empire Strikes Back “Rebel Set”: 2-1B / Princess Leia (Hoth Outfit) / Rebel Commander
Like the previous sets, these include straight figure repacks (no new sculpts) with possible minor paint tweaks. Head to Sandtroopers.com for all the photos.
Yakface Forum member “Grimace” has posted a few detailed images of the new Separatist Droid Gunship hitting stores in the US very soon. It is also available for pre-order though our sponsor Entertainment Earth.
ebay Super Seller “Tunghori” has posted an advanced look at a Un-Undead Geonosian Warrior/Drone from the Clone Wars line. Check it out here.
This figure is part of the Target Exclusive Clone Wars 2-pack along side the Special Ops Clone Trooper that our friends at Sandtroopers revealed back in November.
The holidays were good to us here at Yakface and we thought what better way to show our thanks and appreciation than to spread some of it back to you our readers! Head to our facebook page and discover how you can win a set of 3 figures from last year’s hard-to-find Toys”R”Us exclusive wave of Expanded Universe figures!
In this crucial time in which the #TimeForTonnika campaign is underway, false information has been spreading surrounding the Tonnika Sisters and why action figures have not been made of them. In this video, I’m going to give you the facts, dispelling the falsehoods that have been circulating recently.
Nearly as fast as it came onto our scopes, the Walmart Exclusive TIE Bomber has been spotted at retail for a mere $19.00. Your Walmart experience may differ but while your on the hunt for those $19.00 Jabbas, keep and eye out for this one as well.
For all you Rebel Pilot fanatics, Toys”R”us is offering these up for pre-order online, with a special Buy 2 Get 1 Free Promotion. That’s a pretty tough price to pass up, but remember this is an online promotion only. Thanks to our forum members for the heads up!
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have posted a nice box shot of the upcoming Jedi Turbo Speeder that was announced at CV. March on over to check it out!
Various e-tailers have posted the case breakout for the upcoming wave 5 for the Vintage Collection:
1x Anakin Skywalker
1x General Grievous with Cape
1x Sandtrooper
1x Yoda
1x Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)
1x Clone Trooper
1x Luke Skywalker (Ep IV)
1x R5-D4 (Ep IV)
1x Stormtrooper
1x Han Solo (EP IV)
1x Clone Commander Gree
1x Darth Vader
As you can see, this wave doubles-up on a lot of character/figures (2 different Lukes, 2 different clones, 2 different stormtroopers, etc.) but most interesting is that Yoda as found a new home with this wave. Wedge on the other hand is still M.I.A.
