Episode VII Customizing Challenge Reminder
For all you customizers, don’t forget about the Episode VII Customizing Challenge we are hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards!
This one is easy – all you need to do is create a custom figure of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, and post it in our forums! And if you post it in the forums at both sites, you have doubled your chances of winning a great prize!

More TJ Maxx Finds
Before Hasbro’s failed appoach with Movie Heroes, there was a time that the Big H consistently put forth quality figures in the Legends lineup – which appealed to both collectors and kids (did you forget that crossover appeal is important, Hasbro?).
And while Hasbro’s supply exceeded market demand with the Legends line, these figures were in much higher demand than the subpar Movie Heroes line… as there are still many desireable figures from the old Legends assortments – some of which are still showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores – priced at $4.99 each.
Your mileage may vary, but these sure do beat the uninspired Movie Heroes lineup from 2012 (at least in my book).
TRU Stocking for $4.99 Sale
Finding good figures at retail these days is no easy tasks, but reports are trickling in that indicate Toys”R”us is still getting in post-Episode One TVC figures for the current sale that runs through March 16.
With what could be shaping up to be a very disappointing Fall right around the corner with the lackluster range of figures we’ve seen for The Black Series, this sale could be one of the few enjoyable moments of 2013 when it comes to Star Wars collecting. So keep Toys”R”us on your stops list and good luck!
Episode VII Customizing Challenge: UPDATE!
Thanks to our friends at Imperialshipyards, we’ve been able to add another amazing prize to the Episode VII Customizing Challenge – a Sideshow Boba Fett!
This customizing event runs through the end of March, and all you have to do is create a figure of something you think we might see in Star Wars: Episode VII, and post it in the forums. Then you are eligible for a prize. How simple is that?
Head on over to the forums for all the details!
Yakfinities #47 Continues

Target Clearance Update
It appears that most Target stores are slashing their clearance prices down to 70% 0ff – which means if you can score any 2012 TVC figures at this price, you’ll be paying about three bucks a figure. So now is the time if you want to try and grab some cheap custom fodder, army builders, etc.
Customizer Spotlight: OG Trilogy
Diorama guru OG Trilogy returns with yet another masterpiece, with a ton of great photos which you can check out by clicking here.
Note: Isn’t it a shame that Hasbro has continued to deny their customers any sort of diorama/playset such as the great set featured above? Or something like this mockup?
Instead, the creative minds at Hasbro come up with this…
