On January 30th all the stores on your toy runs will have the new stock of Star Wars figures from Hasbro. From Vintage to Movie Heroes to Clone Wars, Hasbro has figures, battle packs, fleet vehicles, and more ready to be released. But across the country, mostly at Wal Mart, toys have been spotted early. And on this week’s Star Wars Action News, your hosts Arnie and Marjorie have a bunch in hand to review.
Listen to this week’s episode of Star Wars Action News for hands on reviews of the new Titanium Vehicle 3-Packs, the Toys”R”Us exclusive battle pack, the new Hasbro Fleet vehicles, the full first wave of Hasbro Movie Heroes figures, as well as The Vintage Collection figures like the Battle Droid, Ben Quadinaros, and Quinlan Vos! Plus, be sure to check out the enhanced podcast with pictures of all these new items as well!
With Star Wars Valentine candy that may make your mouth bleed, and a moving-lips Yoda plushie, it’s all this week on the Star Wars Action News podcast!

Want to upgrade some of the podracer pilots you already have? Download these nifty custom flags* I whipped up based on the ones included in the TRU Exclusive Podracer Pilots set.
*These are not scans of the flag accessories. They are illustrated recreations.
For those that placed their orders for the ToysRUs Exclusive Podracer Pilots sets, be on the lookout as they are hitting doorsteps. I received mine yesterday and you can get a preview of our pending toyguide update by heading to our Facebook page.
And for those curious, the included flags/banners are all plastic with the flag itself being a thin mylar sheet about the thickness of a piece of copy paper.
ToysRUs has updated tonight and now has their exclusive Podracer Pilots action figure pack in-stock and ready to ship. Recreate the Boonta Eve race with this set today!
Thanks to Facebook follower Ruben for the report!
Who knows how long this will last, but the first Vintage wave of 2012 is listed as “in-stock” over at Toysrus.com!
Recently our friends at Jedidefender.com brought to our attention that it looks like Hasbro is planning on consumers paying more for their 2012 Star Wars line, and now Toyrus.com is listing the new 2012 Deluxe line for the staggering price of $19.99 – even more staggering when one considers the first wave is nothing but repacks and repaints.
How will even more price increases (especially on items that have been in circulation over and over throughout the years) affect the success of the line? It seems each year more collectors throw in the towel – hopefully we’ll see some pleasant surprises at Toy Fair this February to make us all feel better about it.
NOTE – Forum member combatjedi found these at Wal-Mart already for $16.97, so hopefully that’s a positive sign.
Toys”R”Us this week is offering a $10 “Star Wars Bucks” gift card for Hasbro Star Wars purchases of $40 or more. Offer valid 1/30/12 through 2/13/12. Also in their weekly ad, they have the Death Star Trench Run set for $79.99 ($20 off) and additional sales on Star Wars Transformers and Role Play items.
Toys”R”Us as posted their upcoming Black Friday Circular on their facebook page. Not a whole lot of “new” deals to be had on Star Wars merchandise as they are again trying to unload those Legacy Collection ARC-170 and Clone Wars Y-Wings, but if you still need them and your store still has them, they will be on sale for 50% off. They will also be offering 50% off select Legacy/Clone Wars Battle Packs and the Grievous Roll-Playing Lightsaber.
