Marjorie and Arnie review the Disney Store 13-inch talking Stormtrooper, discuss upcoming convention and marathon events, review new Black Series rumors, and more!

With Hasbro having difficulty getting new figures to store pegs in any scale, collectors are forced to find their excitement places other than Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us. Most specifically The Disney Stores where a new 13-inch line of talking, articulated Star Wars figures have started to appear. The X-Wing Luke Skywalker and Stormtrooper are on store shelves now, and in this episode of Star Wars Action News you can see a hands-on review of the Stormtrooper to find out if you need to add this to your collection.

But while Hasbro is in a late spring lull, news leaked last week of new Black Series releases on the horizon. In this show you can find out about three possible new Toys R Us exclusive multi-packs that have strong Original Trilogy ties.

With news on how YOU can be in Star Wars Episode VII, a discussion of the upcoming Disney Star Wars marathon, reports from Disney Star Wars Weekends and the UK Collectormania 21, and more, it’s all in this week’s swactionnews.com!

It looks like the Black Series Battle on Endor boxed set won’t be the only exclusive at Toys”R”Us this year. Rebelscum has posted word that two additional sets are in the works and are in the system at Toys”R”Us in the UK. No details yet other than Cantina Showdown and Jabba’s Rancor Pit but it sounds like we may be getting another shot at some desired TVC figures like Ponda Baba and the Gammorean Guard – but at a price. If these sets are more repacks, do they hold any interest to you, “the collector”?
