Our very own localgotal strikes back with another stellar Concept Series update this week, and it’s one that a lot of fans have been hoping would see action figure form for decades now. While a bit of a controversial character, it’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t fit right in with the old Comic Packs format that Hasbro used to excel at. Chomping at the bit to see what this is? Then head on over to the forums and feast your eyes on this latest concept!
The guys at TwelfthParsec, who are bringing out some great looking Space Trees playsets, have asked us to help spread the word that their goal has been met, but if they can reach a Bonus Goal, everyone who contributes to their campaign will receive a special Torch Railing with their set. However, time is running out to get in on this deal! Click on the above image for more details, or head on over to the forums to share your thoughts.
I’m getting very excited about finally having a modern Ewok Village – are you?

Toys”R”us locations are marking down quite a few older Star Wars items right now, which includes a variety of items that you’ve probably seen at your store for quite some time. But at 40% off, you may find something worth caving in on. As always your mileage and finds will vary — but if you’ve got a Toys”R”us store in your area, it may be worth your while to swing by and see if you can walk away with a score or two.
We’ve got another Concept Series update by localgotal , who returns with a killer battle pack mockup featuring a key scene from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope!
Be sure to check out this latest mockup, which seems like another sure fire hit that Hasbro has overlooked. But hey, maybe at SDCC we’ll see some awesome surprises similar to the great concepts localgotal has been presenting the past number of months.
Recently, forum member Lance Quazar began an all new Indiana Jones photonovel series that takes place in the final days of World War II… this storyline really captures the grit and enjoyment of the 1980s films we all know and love.
Lance has recently wrapped up a new chapter in this ambitious project, and even if photonovels aren’t your thing, this is a read definitely worth checking out. So kick back and take a few minutes to enjoy this latest endeavor he has put together for the viewing pleasure of Star Wars and Indiana Jones fans after the jump!
We’ve only got until the end of March before Yakfinities #51 winds down, and as usual we’ll have plenty of random prizes to go around. So if you like to customize, this is a great category with lots of potential – head on over to the forums and submit a custom Space Pirate after the jump!
Reports continue to come in (though sporadic) of collectors spotting Wave 3 of the Black Series in greater numbers, across various retailers.
We know that Hasbro’s changing their case assortment ratios moving forward, and more of what we see coming appear to be more “in demand” figures and characters than what we’re used to seeing.
Perhaps we are in for a healthier distribution flow in 2014? Agreed? Or do you see this as just a big tease? Share your thoughts after the jump!
