FAO stuff<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 30, 2000 | 11:51 PM EST |\u00a0Sidster<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guys I was checking out\u00a0FAO Schwartz.com<\/a>\u00a0and did notice some cool stuff in stock. As mentioned previously they do have the Star Wars Sith Speeder Cockpit Game, which I have yet to see anywhere else. This is the game with an exculsive Maul 3 3\/4″ figure, and as far as I can tell it seems to be in stock for $24.99. They also have the elusive Episode 1 Trivial Pursuit, which I have also not seen anywhere else, for $39.00.
\nAnd 1 last thing I saw on the site was the $10,000 Lego lifesize Vader. Looks killer but little too rich for my pockets, but any of my friends reading X-mas is coming. (hint, hint)<\/span><\/p>\n

Cable and satellite shopping network QVC is having their 2-hour Star Wars anniversary special next Monday, October 2nd from 10PM to Midnight EDT. I’ve yet to get firm confirmation, but Steve Sansweet tends to co-host these anniversary shows so he should be the guest. Product selection will mostly consist of merchandise that is available everywhere else at closeout prices, but there should be a few new surprises.

12″ Speeder Bike<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 28, 2000 | 4:31 PM EST |\u00a0Greg<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Quite a few people are writing in to report this, so I guess it wasn’t clear enough when I originally posted it. A few days ago I mentioned that Sandtroopers.com had some cool news on a 12″ Speeder Bike markdown. Well, the bike has been reduced to $34.90 nationwide. The Skiffs and Y-Wings are also marked down, to $13.90. Keep your eyes peeled!<\/span><\/p>\n

A little off Target<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 28, 2000 | 3:26 PM EST |\u00a0Ben<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Target has reduced the 12″ Speeder Bike to a more comfortable $34.90 and the Y-Wings and Skiffs to an equally attractive $13.90 in many stores. This is reportedly nationwide pricing, but some stores are slow to make price adjustments. Keep in mind that there are most likely more discounts to come, as FINAL closeout prices at Target tend to end in four (ex. $34.94). The only question is whether quantities will hold out for larger discounts.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m all for great discounts, but it would have made more sense to me for Target to get these to the stores when people were willing to pay full price rather than have them log jammed in their warehouse system only to trickle out and finally require clearance pricing to move them after the fervor calmed down. Hopefully next time they’ll get exclusives to the shelves in a timely manner and treat the customers with more courtesy.

Hey all just a heads up but I popped in at a KB Outlet store today in
\nthe Ma. area and found some cool deals. I got myself a gold Imperial Shuttle Micro-Machine the limited 1 once exclusive to FAO for a steal of $4.99. Also got Winners Circle Jeff Gordon 1\/24th scale car for $4.99. They had a few of these left also saw the 1\/64th scale for $1.49 and the pit row version for $3.49. These cars were a little tough to find in my area not sure about others. So if you have 1 nearby stop in some good deals to be had there.
\nUPDATE: These finds were at a KB Outlet store in an outlet strip, so I’m not sure if regular KB’s will get them. Just wanted to clarify.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of reports of the Masters of the Dark Side pair (3 3\/4″ version) showing up at Wal*Marts. They’re $14.97 each. Please note that we didn’t say no more of these would be available at retail again, we said that Hasbro has not made the pack available for retailers to re-order. Sorry to keep stressing that point but people write in daily asking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nitem #446455590 – this is a\u00a0cool<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Pepsi prototype – it’s a mock-up can featuring Luke! Check this one out, and check out ryo_hunter’s other auctions for a US boxed Eopie which is currently sitting at a great price (please note that if bidding goes higher than you think is reasonable, this is because of the bidders, not myself or the seller – I do tend to get quite a few e-mails if someone sees something at a large price a while after I mention it. Thanks).<\/p>\n

item #449378437 – My friend Lee is selling off his POTF2 & E1 collection – check it out!<\/p>\n

item #448924224 – back up for auction is the now-dead Star Wars news site\/store FIguresInAction.com. The auction is for the domain name, some hosting, plus plenty of tools to help you maintain the site. The site has a shopping cart function and you can accept CCs. See the description for the details.<\/p>\n

item #449240422 – Rare Micro Machines mini heads pack featuring the Snowtrooper head! Check out Eric’s other auctions for more of the rarer packs in this set, plus a MISB Action Fleet E-Wing, Barge, Falcon, a complete set of Episode I wave 2 Action Fleet, and a Collector Fleet Super Star Destroyer!!<\/p>\n

Thought I’d post so anyone else wondering, could stop. The Masters of the Darkside 2-packs that are hitting some Walmarts now is the
\n3 3\/4″ version not the 12″. So hope that helped out some of you wondering as to which it was. I seem to be getting a few reports of it showing up at Walmarts in Washington state and as said yesterday, California and Oregon have also found some. So looks like the hunt continues….<\/span><\/p>\n

No I don’t mean Osbourne neither. Got more word on that promo and it is as 1st described yesterday. The 3rd level does nab you an “elusive” Jedi braid with Queen’s starship and the Obi Wan invasion foce, which is good for our Aussie collectors since rumor is they won’t hit shelves there. But a very good source had this to add…<\/p>\n

“Best of all, this will not be the only promotion like this!!!!!! You will be able to get more exclusive stuff through the Jedi Master card!!!!!! Unfortunately I don’t know what yet, though it will happen sometime next year. That’s about all, I hope this has been helpful to you, and I can guarantee you that everything I’ve written is 100% true, this rep knows her stuff, and I’d be willing to
\nbet my entire collection on it if I had too!!!!! (Anonymous)<\/p>\n

So there you go believe it or not, my question is why is just Hasbro in Australia doing this and not US. Thanks to the many that wrote to me about this, I actually might have some pics of some of the stuff up soon.

Tim, who is, a visitor of Yakface.com and Rebelscum.com, wrote in to tell us his brother Patrick, age 25, was in a terrible accident and asked us to let fellow collectors know and keep this fellow collector in our prayers.

This is what we have found out todate….. Please keep in mind, just like most other sites out there that advertise for EE, we do not make any money if you buy from them. I am disappointed about this as it hurts the collectors and the hobby. This is not the first time this type of thing has happened, and it is not Hasbro that is at fault. If the retailers do not order enough for another run, then how can you blame Hasbro?<\/p>\n

Entertainment Earth has submitted this for everyone to read…<\/p>\n

One of the newest Star Wars items from Hasbro, the Masters of the Dark Side (Item #84385B) two pack featuring Darth Vader and Darth Maul, may turn out to be one of the rarest items ever made!<\/p>\n

Hasbro reports that no more units are available in their warehouse. Hasbro rarely admits that an item is discontinued. Instead, they just never ship any more units. What is the difference? We don’t think there is any. The bottom line is this. We are filling all backorders prior to today. All orders placed now will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. Get this item while they last – which won’t be very long.<\/span><\/p>\n

12″ Speeder Bike variation<\/b><\/span>

Seems there is a variation on the 12″ Speeder Bike. Too bad its impossible to tell unless you open the package.<\/p>\n

“About a month ago, I had purchased my nephew a 12 inch speederbike for his birthday. I let him open it and it is totally amazing. I knew I had to get one for myself. So just last week I went to Target and bought two, on to open and one to put away. So I got one opened and displayed it. When I realized that the clear plastic stands were differrent. My nephews Speeder has spheres attached to the bottom, just like on the back of the box itself. Where as, mine are wedges or prong like.”<\/p>\n

Masters of Darkside CLARIFICATION<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 21, 2000 | 11:24 AM EST |\u00a0Brian<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ok there seems to be a huge amount of confusion about the Masters of Darkside 2 pack.<\/p>\n

First, yes stores cannot order anymore of this item. HOWEVER, not every store has gotten what they intially ordered. So please do not go around thinking that what is out there at this exact moment is all.<\/p>\n

Second, we did not make this up. We were told this by a very reliable source.<\/p>\n

Third, we didn’t post this so our sponsors could make money. We DO NOT get paid by the amount our sponsors sell of this item. And we do not get any sort of benefits from them selling a lot of them. They could sell 2000 of them a month or 2 it would not affect us in anyway.<\/p>\n

If you wish to read what we posted again it is in our archives in the September section. Just scroll down and you will find a link to that section.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this answers everyone’s questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Yakface.com exclusive!
\nNoomivarr sector has obtained yet another picture, this time of
\neveryone’s favorite war droid\u00a0IG – 88!<\/a>\u00a0Pictured side by side is a painted sample and an unpainted sample of the new POTJ figure.
\nBoth figures lack any copyright information. Special thanks from Robert Musco to his partner in crime Josh Burch for the image. I wonder who owns this piece now 8>)
\nBy the way I (Robert Musco) am happy to announce a new home for Noomivarr Sector. I’m pleased to announce that I have joined the Yakfacesrealm team with fellow prototype collector Allen “Toyomahn” Hayden. We will be moving both websites (Noomivarr Sector and Toyomahn.com) here in the near future and look forward to working with a well respected bunch of guys.

Masters of the Darkside 2-Pack Gone???<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 18, 2000 | 1:49 PM EST |\u00a0Mark<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been told by an undisclosed source that these are already sold out by Hasbro. No more orders will be taken from them. So if your local retailer has one and you are not sure as to get it or wait for a sale. I would pick it up as it probably won’t be around much longer. I will confirm this by end of the week. But this source is very reliable that is why I am posting it.
\nUPDATE: I spoke with Andy and this is what he thinks may have happened. He is going to verify this and get back to me. The product has most likely finished it’s first run, and unless a retailer places a large enough order to have a second run, then the item will not be made anymore. This is typical with toys. If there isn’t a large enough order from the retailers then the product stops production. Similar to the Eopie. Not enough orders were placed and the product doesn’t get made. The good news is there was an entire run of these made and shipped and they should be showing up soon at retailers. More to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSeptember 18, 2000 | 11:57 AM EST |\u00a0Greg<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

All of a sudden, POTJ has started to flood, and loads of people wrote in over the weekend to report findings, mainly collection two. Lots of people have commented on seeing multiple Tusken Raider (Desert Sniper) figures, calling it the first POTJ peg-warmer. Which I find pretty surprising really because it’s a nicely done figure. Anyway – keep your eyes open. Stores are getting in big deliveries of these figures now so you’ll find them soon enough, if you haven’t already.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Toys – a rundown<\/b><\/span>
\nSeptember 18, 2000 | 11:51 AM EST |\u00a0Greg<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Tim Rons sent in this rundown on the latest 12″ exclusives, plus a possible paint variation on Mas Amedda. This will probably be aprticularly useful to those of you who are still not sure about the price tag on that Dewback…<\/p>\n

“On Saturday went to TRU in Des Moines, Iowa and found the 12″ dewback and trooper. I was over-joyed and unhappy at the same time. The figures are very nice and the set as a whole will make people very happy. The problem I had was that every box was crushed and the figures all were poorly painted. The box design is not one of the better ideas that Hasbro has come out with. Yes, it really shows off the figures nicely, but the top is mostly clear plastic, supported by thin strips of cardboard. The front is also mostly clear plastic, this make the top and front flimsy and the box easily damageable. The trooper figures all had green paint on the chest from the dewback. This is a result of the dewback not being tied down well.
\nThe dewbacks were also poorly painted. They had a lot of over spray and funny mismarkings on them. The back of the necks on the dewbacks were also connected strangely, they had like residue plastic sticking out of the joints which was on removed and made it look like they were done in a rush. I know my review sounds bad, but I really did think the 12″ dewback and trooper was impressive. I think I will wait and see if future shipments come in better shape. I recommend the figure and highly suggest it be taken out and displayed proudly. I hope that this is just a first run problem, if not toss the box, get some touch-up paint and fix it.
\nI also found the 12″ Darth Maul and speeder and new POTJ figures at
\nWal-Mart. The 12″ Maul is very nice. The streamlined package is a nice improvement for these figures. The Maul and bike area great set, don’t miss out. The figures were also plentiful. As for variations, yes, there are a lot of them. The one I noticed right away was the Mas Ameda. The facial variation is quite noticeable. I found some with no blue highlights and others with an almost completely blue face. I really think Hasbro either has a poor quality control department, can’t make up its mind, or just plain does this to cause an uproar and get people to buy more figures. I say enjoy the figures and forget the variations. It’s just stuff and eventually it will end up at the antiques mall when were gone any way. Collect and enjoy, may the force be with you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Yakface.com has been such a great site to work on these past few years and I have cherished every minute. I have made numerous friends in the collecting community from being a part of this team. I want to thank Mark Minicuci and Brian Malnati for bringing me on board back in early 1997 for this has been a ride I will never forget. I am not getting out of the collecting hobby just yet though. I feel it is time to move on to something new and I had been thinking of relaunching my Twinsuntimes.com website, but such a task is too large for me at this time. So, I contacted the offices of Rebelscum.com and offered them my services. They were interested, and I accepted. I want everyone to know that I am the one who decided to leave Yakface.com. Rebelscum.com did not come after me or place some offer on the table I could not refuse. Like I said before it is time for something new for both me, and Yakface.com. I wish the Yakface.com crew the best of luck in the future and hope our friendships will remain. Take it easy guys . . . .<\/p>\n

Update:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Darren sent in this update:<\/p>\n

“My friend James and I found 3 different packaging variations on the new Obi Wan figure. There is the already mentioned LONG saber and SHORT sabre, but there is also a TRAY variation. We saw that the LONG sabre comes in 2 different trays, with one the exact length of the sabre and the other about 1\/8″ longer. When we first saw this we thought that it was a short sabre but checked them against other ones and found that it is the tray that is longer. So here are the 3 different ones:<\/p>\n

1- Long saber that fits snuggly into the tray
\n2- Long saber about 1\/8 inch shorter than the tray
\n3- Short saber in the same size tray as #1<\/p>\n

Who knows if there isn’t a 4th one out there where the short saber in in the longer tray!!! UGGGGGG!!!!!! Enough!!!!!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\nDamage removed<\/a>
\nComparison<\/a>\u00a0– this pic shows the new droid in a dynamic “I’ve been hit!” pose, and is shown beside an unpainted prototype of the original wave one Battle Droid for comparison. You can see that the new droid is a lot thinner, especially at the knee and crotch areas. If Hasbro don’t make this out of good plastic, it’ll barely be able to stand…<\/p>\n

Courtesy of Robert Musco @\u00a0Noomivarr Sector<\/a>\u00a0prototypes, take a look at these great new photos:<\/p>\n

Boba Fett (300th fig)<\/a>\u00a0– you can see just how cool this figure is going to be from this photo!<\/p>\n

Battle Droid (Boomer Damage)<\/a>\u00a0– a first look at this new figure, I think we’re all going to need plenty of these for dioramas!!<\/p>\n

These figures are fully painted samples without copyright markings on their feet, and they are complete. The Battle Droid looks particularly flimsy, but this is not a finished figure and you can be sure that the final toy will be more durable and able to stand freely.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"StarWars.com<\/a>\u00a0has posted a remider that tomorrow the Darth Maul series from Darkhorse hits comic shops everywhere. Here’s a small clip from the official site….
\n“With his breathtaking introduction in The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul quickly became the new face of evil in the Star Wars galaxy. His tattooed visage of intricate Sith patterns — now revealed to cover his entire body — strikes fear in the heart of his opponents. Now, with the release of his own dedicated four-issue comic series, Maul’s lethal skills are again conjured from the shadows.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

“As for the trophy assortment, the retailer does not want the items anymore, so we are looking for an alternate outlet. Possibly the Fan Club, but they don’t seem to jazzed by them at the moment either. So to be clear, we did not cancel them, voluntarily anyway, but they won’t be shipping anytime soon. Hopefully someday. Thanks!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Lots of readers have been writing in and reporting finding 12″ Dewbacks, 12″ Sith Speeders and POTJ figures. There’s too much to post individual locations now, so please use the “Area Store Reports” section in the Yakface Forum as much as possible to help you\/others find these new items. The POTJ stuff is getting more plentiful, there seem to be much more Dewbacks available than there were 12″ Speeder Bikes, and while the Sith Speeder has only just surfaced, it doesn’t seem incredibly hard to come by. Keep a look out!<\/span><\/p>\n
