\nLast weekend was all about Toy Fair, and this weekend is all about…Toy Fair! Now that we’ve had a week to absorb all the new product announcements made at or during Toy Fair last weekend, Star Wars Action News is here to listen to your reactions to this news. Excited for a bigger AT-AT? Disappointed in lack of EU characters from Hasbro? Gunning for the new Boba Fett blaster? We round up fan response to all the new items released.<\/p>\n

And near the end of Toy Fair a new Star Wars licensee entered the fray–Super 7 with their Super Shogun Stormtrooper figure! We have an interview with Super 7 founder Brian Flynn to discuss this new, retro high-end collectible!<\/p>\n

With a roundup of new Star Wars Easter items and a UK report, it’s all on this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!<\/p>\n

The Clone Wars series is undoubtedly a toy manufacturer’s dream as virtually every week features a new “must have” figure or mode of transportation. The “Trespass” episode is a perfect example. Here we are treated to that installment’s signature vehicle, the Freeco Speeder and despite the included Obi-Wan not being in the appropriate outfit upon which this set is based, it is a super articulated upgrade to the\u00a0original 2008 figure<\/a>, complete with soft goods and much needed (and requested) leg joints.<\/p>\n

$6.99 Figures at TRU<\/b><\/span>
\nFebruary 11, 2010 | 1:24 PM CST |\u00a0Justin2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It appears as though TRU has marked down all Star Wars, GI JOE and even the new Iron Man 2 figures (which are fantastic by the way) to a more reasonable $6.99.<\/p>\n

Right now it’s unknown if this is a permanent price change, but there was a hint noted from GI JOE collecting site\u00a0Hisstank.com<\/a>\u00a0recently that Hasbro thinks that in 2009 GI JOE figures were priced too high, so perhaps they are taking this into account for all their 3-3\/4″ lines in 2010 and we could see this price drop extend to some other retailers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Features are as follows:
\n– (Approximate Retail Value: $99.99; Ages: 5 & up; Available: August 1, 2010)<\/p>\n

In space, size does matter, and Hasbro certainly kept that in mind when creating its all-new, highly detailed STAR WARS AT-AT. The AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) played a significant role in the Empire\u2019s military assault in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and it will play an equally important role in every fan\u2019s toy collection this year! Measuring more than\u00a024 inches tall, nearly 28 inches long, and 12 inches wide<\/b>, this colossal vehicle holds up to\u00a020 STAR WARS figures<\/b>\u00a0\u2013\u00a06 of which can fit in its head<\/b>\u00a0alone! \u2013 and includes so many play and electronic features true to its on-screen counterpart that it\u2019s hard to believe! From the\u00a0zip-line in its body and articulated legs<\/b>\u00a0for superb poseability, to its\u00a0LED lights and authentic movie sounds and phrases<\/b>, this is the must-have addition for STAR WARS fans of all ages.\u00a0Includes a 3 \u00be inch AT-AT driver action figure and a pop-out speeder bike.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
