As you can see, the HMP looks pretty faithful to the ROTS deco, while Cad Bane’s fighter looks to have more of a subdued color scheme when compared to the Titanium counterpart.<\/p>\n

Unmarked Price Cuts at Target<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 20, 2010 | 1:17 PM CST |\u00a0Justin2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Target has secretly been cutting prices on some of their Hasbro action figures this week. You’ll probably notice that these are still in the main toy aisle.<\/p>\n

There’s only one STAR WARS item that is confirmed at this time, and that’s the Geonosis 2-pks – right now you can pick them up for $6.99. Quite a good buy considering they come with two figures in each set.<\/p>\n

Of note, you may also want to scan some GI JOE items if you’re collecting that line or looking for some custom fodder, as the first wave of basic figures is ringing up at $3.49 and the Deluxe figures are scanning for $6.49.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE: New Hawthorne Village Collection<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 20, 2010 | 8:53 AM CST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In case you were reserving judgment on whether or not to drop some coin on these sets until you saw final product photos, I direct you to our friends at Sandtroopers as they’ve added a couple galleries for the\u00a0Mos Eisley<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Hoth<\/a>\u00a0Sets.<\/p>\n

The folks at\u00a0POTF2<\/a>\u00a0have a few images of the Mos Eisley set in their forums as well.<\/p>\n

One more thing…<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 19, 2010 | 5:21 PM CST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we’ve received spy report that a “limited edition” figure coming and it is rumored to be\u00a0Jodo Kast<\/b>. It is unknown at this time how or when this figure will be made available whether the through the UGH mailaway program or possibly as an upcoming convention exclusive.<\/p>\n

As always, take all rumors and speculation with a grain of salt as\u00a0nothing<\/b>\u00a0is confirmed at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Heater Pack” Clone Clarification and Snowspeeder Details<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 19, 2010 | 4:57 PM CST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We also received a clarification regarding that Clone Trooper with Heater Pack listing on Sunday. It has been revised to be called “Clone Trooper with Heater Pack \/ Rex with Heater Pack” so I guess that means a Snow Clone or Rex from the Trespass episode.<\/p>\n

Not surprising, the leaked prototype images of the Snowspeeder will in fact be Luke’s Snowspeeder and it will ship in the same assortment as the Cloud Car.<\/span><\/p>\n

New AT-AT Details<\/b><\/span>
\nJanuary 19, 2010 | 4:42 PM CST |\u00a0Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Wondering what to expect for that rumored new AT-AT? Look no further as we’ve received a spy report with more features of this bad boy:<\/p>\n

Here is the translated text:
\n– Complete with new molding, the AT-AT bigger than ever!
\n– random dialogue from the movie (English), built-in sound and action
\n– Holds Speeder bike in the rear hatch.
\n– Cable arm and pull open the cover for passengers side of the body
\n– The blaster has a gimmick in luminous nose (light up chin cannons I assume)
\n– Opening the hatch at the bottom of the body to recreate Luke’s sneak attack
\n– AT-AT Driver figure included.
\n– Cockpit\/head can hold 6 figures<\/p>\n

\nWith all the doom and gloom surrounding the Comic Pack line’s future, it’s sad that some of the more interesting figures Hasbro had planned may be hard to track down or not even find their way to retail at all.<\/p>\n

With that said, there are opportunities to guarantee you will be able to get them on\u00a0eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nSince 1977 Star Wars fans have wanted to use the Force, be it squeezing fingers together to imagine choking a despotic boss or waving our hands so automatic doors open at the grocery store. But this was all taken one step further when Uncle Milton released their Star Wars Force Trainer, supposedly allowing Star Wars fans to use their mind to control a floating Jedi Training Remote. Arnie and Marjorie have put this “fun-ducational” toy through the paces, and report back on their findings on this week’s podcast.<\/p>\n

Also this week, Gentle Giant Star Wars mini-busts seem to never be as coveted as when they are clones or when they are exclusives, and when they are exclusive clones collectors better watch out! The Gentle Giant Republic Commando mini-busts are reviewed on this week’s show.<\/p>\n

While we complain about overpriced action figures and distribution problems with our Star Wars obsession, many people in Haiti are suffering through real and unimaginable problems. So, instead of buying one of those figures you don’t really “need” how about donating the price of an action figure or two to a worthy cause and it’s as easy as using your phone.<\/p>\n

Text “HAITI” to the number 90999 to donate $10, which will be added to your next cellphone bill. Or you can text “Yele” to 501501 to donate $5, which will be added to your next phone bill. Also, the Salvation Army is sending 285,120 boxed meals of rice, soy, and vitamins to Haiti. Support the Salvation Army through its\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0today.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Starting this fall, Galactic Battle Game components will be added to select 3-3\/4 items (components include a unique character specific card with power levels, a stand and die)
\n– Game will allow kids to compete against one another based on the various power levels of their favorite characters.
\n– The game will increase kids’ knowledge of Star Wars, their engagement with fantasy and add to their play experience.<\/p>\n

*Interesting that this says “Star Wars” figures and not the Clone Wars line specifically. Does this mean these cards and stands will be packed with OT figures as well? Maybe so, but by the looks of things we’ll find out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

\nReports are\u00a0coming in<\/a>\u00a0that the TPM wave, which many of us had a hard time finding at all are showing up at many Wal-Marts in Buy-One-Get-One 2-pks.<\/p>\n

It sort of stings if you made trip after trip to your local retailers looking for this awesome group of figures with little to show for it while Clone Wars and Legends waves repeatedly made it to the pegs… only to find out this great Legacy wave is now showing up in a discounted fashion.<\/p>\n

Hopefully in 2010 Hasbro will get its distribution quirks worked out, but in the meantime if you find these or any other Legacy figures at such a great deal, you might regret it later if you pass them up. Be aware however that if you try and separate the packaging, you will most likely destroy the cards – but if you’re an opener, these packs are definitely for you!<\/span><\/p>\n
