A charity auction launched today by the Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) provides the opportunity for STAR WARS fans to own the hottest new collector’s item – Hasbro’s STAR WARS AT-AT – before it hits toy store shelves in the coming weeks. Proceeds of the auction will benefit TIF programs that provide much-needed support to charities supporting children at-risk, abused, abandoned, ill or otherwise in need.
The auction on Givingworks.ebay.com began at noon (EST) today and features two of Hasbro’s all-new STAR WARS AT-AT vehicles. The auction will close at noon (EST) on Monday, July 19.
Entertainment Earth has just sent out emails informing customers who preordered their upcoming Comic Pack Exclusives by the case that the price for these items has dropped.
Not too bad for what looks like some of the best Comic Packs out of the entire line. You’ll also notice the price drop on their website, which is good through Friday. After that, the price will return to normal.
The waiting is over. After all the teasers and sneak peeks, it’s time for the full review of Hasbro’s Imperial AT-AT. But this massive vehicle can’t be contained by a single website…so in an unprecedented move, Yakface, Rebelscum, and Jedi Temple Archives have joined forces once again to provide an in-depth detailed roundtable review! Get all the info after the link.
The wait is finally over! And to mark this special release, we have joined forces with Rebelscum, and Jedi Temple Archives to bring you a comprehensive look at the massive Imperial AT-AT vehicle! This is one of the greatest products Hasbro has ever produced and it surely deserves multi-site collaboration to give you all the details (and photos) you need! After checking out our toyguide update, head right over to Rebelscum and Jedi Temple Archives for their photo archives as well.

eBay continues to be a rich source for upcoming, unannounced product as today seller “viperkingdom” reveals Clone Flame Trooper (CW26) for the 2010 line. Click the image above for a link to the auction.
PROS: A nice alternative to the TSC General Veers without rendering him totally obsolete. Functional cross-draw holster is one of the better designs to come out of Hasbro. Removable armor detail is top notch as well as the added quilting texture on the inside of the helmet.
CONS: The uniform seems a little light in color at least when compared to the other Imperials of recent years. Goggles are a bit of a fight to stretch over the helmet, and once done then they are a little too loose fitting on the head under the helmet.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
