SDCC Exclusive Price Hike?

Leave a comment

According to Hasbro’s latest press release, the SDCC Carbon Freezing Chamber is now $10 higher (up from $69.99) from the info released a couple weeks ago. Here is the updated info:

STAR WARS
STAR WARS VINTAGE SPECIAL EDITION CARBONITE CHAMBER COLLECTOR’S PACK
(Approximate Retail Price: $79.99; Ages 4 & up; Available through HasbroToyShop.com Booth #3329 at San Diego Comic-Con)
Pretend to visit an alternate reality with this incredible package of seven 3.75” STAR WARS figures—one figure from each film in the Saga, and one figure only available in this collectible set.

UPDATE: Yakface Reader and local collector friend Matt M. noted that maybe the reason for the price increase for this set is due to the fact of Hasbro raising the prices of their merchandise starting July 1. A sound theory for sure.

SDCC Star Wars Fan Breakfast

Leave a comment

On Friday, July 13th at 7:30 am, Star Wars Action News will be hosting the 2nd Annual Star Wars Fan Breakfast!

When Lucasfilm ended the Star Wars Fan Club, the long tradition of starting “Star Wars Day” at San Diego Comic Con with the Star Wars Fan Club breakfast went with it.  But last year Marjorie and Arnie of Star Wars Action News started a new tradition, the Star Wars Fan Breakfast, and details were just announced for this year’s event!  There is no cost to go, just pay for what you order, and there will be prizes donated by Star Wars Action News, Sideshow Collectibles, and others!

All the details can be found at swactionnews.com
