The Black Series: Wave 2 Loose Pics
During these dark times of collecting, it’s always a treat to see images of good upcoming figures that will be worth tracking down at retail.
Our friends at Jeditemplearchives have been able to get their hands on several great pics of the next round of figures from The Black Series – check out their pics here, and be be sure to share thoughts on these figures in our forums.
Why do people sink this low?
Swapping figures and returning an undesired item in a different package is the same as stealing, and what’s worse is sometimes a kid ends up with something as a present that they didn’t expect.
I always shake my head in disgust when I come across a figure hanging on the pegs like the example image above – but forum member dj121 puts it rather well when he says, “That swap make absolutely NO sense at all.”
With The Black Series line having issues with their bubbles falling off the package, we might soon be seeing scumbags resort to this practice even more this Fall and also more suspicious ebay auctions like the one our friends at Jeditemplearchives recently pointed out.
So, be on the lookout not only for new figures, but figure swaps unfortunately! And share your thoughts and recent finds in our forums!

Hasbro’s new TVC X-Wing has been found at Toys”R”us – check out reports by both Galactichunter and Jeditemplearchives for the scoop.
I think the price tag is insane, personally… but if people are willing to pay a premium for old school packaging, Hasbro and their retail partners are going to take advantage…

We have been invited by Jedi Temple Archives to be part of the panel for their “A Digested Look at The Vintage Collection” special report alongside many other fan sites to rank what figures from this collection are the absolute cream of the crop. We also are joined by three special guests from the Hasbro Star Wars team which makes this an unprecedented event.

UPDATE: Slave I Price Drop on Amazon
Jedi Temple Archives has altered collectors that Amazon’s Exclusive Slave I is on sale for only $69.99. There is no telling on how long this sale will last so get your orders in quickly.
UPDATE: It appears that this markdown is more of a price adjustment than sale as it no longer lists the original $99.99 pricepoint. For those that pre-ordered, you might want to check your order status to see if the adjustment was done there as well.
