Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted their annual special report comparing the original Kenner Vintage figures with their definitive (or in some cases not) modern counterparts.

Our friends at Jeditemplearchives.com are reporting that the brand spankin new Class I vehicles have been spotted at retail here in the United States – click on the image above for their report!
Forum member Paulskywalker also found these in the UK recently, so hopefully this is a sign of good things to come with the 2012 distribution!
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have deployed a mechanized rumor report regarding the next vehicle to get the “BMF” super-size treatment. Head on over for their report and then sound off in our forums on what you think of this possible release.
UPDATE: For those curious about those 20 included battle droids that is kind of a red herring as only 4 of them are poseable, the rest are preposed in their collapsed/storage mode. You can read this for yourself here as well as view a small image.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted their latest RDR covering the NEW Star Tours Starspeeder 1000 from Disney. This all new version is impressive to say the least. Head on over for the complete review.
The 4th wave in The Vintage Collection never seemed to reach full distribution, but some cases now appears to be making their way through the pipeline finally. Our friends at Jeditemplearchives are reporting sightings of this wave at Wal-Mart, and I saw the same thing today at a St. Louis area Wal-Mart.
So if you’re in the hunt for any of these figures still (and some are really good), keep your eyes open for this wave.
And remember to keep sharing details of your Recent Acquisitions in the forums!
