\n“Just as Kenner\/Hasbro has a habit of recycling playsets into another, I wasn’t able to resist doing it with the Jabba’s Droid Dungeon and turning it into this version of the Jawas Droid Factory. Another multi-scene diorama that even though I used most of the elements from the other one, it still has its own unique touches. You never know what the Jawas will do when they take over the dungeon!”

This picture<\/a>\u00a0of the remote control Luke and Taun Taun seems to be from the Tokyo toy fair. This item was on show by Hasbro to potential buyers. The idea was that someone would pick this up to be a store exclusive. No word to date on whether or not that happened though, which means that if nobody went for it, this item may not see production. So at the moment, this is still a potential product. But hey, take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geoff in West Sacramento sent in this interesting report:
\n“I saw something interesting at a Wal-Mart in Vacaville, CA. They had a Mas Amedda w\/ new figs on the back: Lando, Tessek, R2-Q5, new Obi-Wan, new Qui-Gon, new Jar Jar, AND the new Sandtrooper w\/ binoculars (looks amazing!!!) It was the ONLY figure that had this new back, which was kind of odd. There was no sign of any of these new figs being out yet.”
\nSeems the new cardbacks are out there now and I wouldn’t be surprised if the new figures weren’t far behind. Watch out for all the new wave (Jar Jar, Tessek, Lando and R2-Q5) very soon. For photos of the figures, see the post from earlier on today.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Ryan in Utah reports a similar finding, so these are obviously hitting widespread. But we could really use some new figures and not just new cards!! In case anyone is getting confused, the new Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon figures are the expanded universe concept art figures shown at Toy Fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Official word from Hasbro is that the list of ships that have been posted on many sites is UNCONFIRMED. Yes they were shown at the show in Japan, however they are test shots to present to retailers as exclusives. Until any retailers sign off on them, then they are just test shots. Hasbro has also said “There is a good chance that a few of these will become account exclusives in the next year or so in some form or another, and there is also a good chance that a few of these will be traded out for something else.” So that is it in a nutshell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yup seems that TRU is getting more POTJ stock in. I made my daily TRU stop on my way home from work and saw at least 5 sets of 12″ Bounty Hunters there. A few of the other sites have also reported on this. Good news for those that missed out when Target had them. This is a great set and definetly worth getting. Of course I recommend two sets, one boxed, one open… No I don’t own Hasbro stock… Head into TRU and spend some of that tax refund.
\nOh but just a quick mention more on these… Target is now clearancing out any remaining stock on these also. George over at\u00a0Sandtroopers<\/a>\u00a0has a story on this. Check it out…<\/span><\/p>\n

That seems to be haunting a lot of people out there. Well the answer is (drumroll please)…. YES…
\nConsidering this has only been the first we have heard these being clearanced since they came out. Target’s final markdowns always end in a “4”. So for instance a final price might look like “20.94” (this is just an example folks). So if you are still hesitant then wait a little more, BUT remember he could disappear before then. Good luck guys. Mesa so tired, mesa tinkin’ it a loooong day eh… Mesa tinks it’sa bed time… Whew now you know I am tired….<\/span><\/p>\n

I did see some Chewie Mechanic and Leia Bespin Escape figs at a local store here in south east Ma yesterday. Well a friend said he saw more there today including Mr Maul. So maybe that stop into TRU can land ya those figs ya just can’t seem to nab anywhere else. Also still looking for anyone that has found any of the new Lando wave on pegs anywhere in the US.

Figaalfa wrote in with some cool info on somethings in TRU in Melbourne. Now guys these are some cool deals for our Aussie friends, considering they don’t get 1\/2 of what us lucky US folk do…<\/p>\n

12″ Bounty Hunters $60.63 ($31US) (Frankston Store)
\n12″ Maul Speeder $103 OR $129 ($53 or $67US) (All Stores)
\n12″ Sith Lords $129 ($67US) (Frankston Store)
\n12″ Tarpals & Kaadu $248 ($129US) (City Store)
\n12″ 100th Luke $129 ($67U) (City Store)
\nPOTJ Vader Dagobah wave $14.99 ($8US) (Knox Store)
\nSkiff & Jedi Luke $76.99 ($40US) (All Stores)<\/p>\n

Figaalfa also found himself some cool POTJ errors, some I hadn’t heard of yet. Congrats to our friends below, hopefully the good luck will continue to fall a little further downward.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>: Of course most can imagine how many corrected me on the Men without Hats reference. I do know that it was the great Men at Work that did “DOWN UNDER”. I guess my Big 80’s mind was off…

Well we all read Greg’s post earlier on some “possible” POTJ products… Oh and if ya didn’t read scroll down…
\nNow I also just heard about a few of these today as well as a
\n12″ Endor Leia on Speederbike, this one as well as Luke have been talked about before. It kinda makes sense considering the bikes and dolls are already made (just some new shiny clothes). Also “rumored” down the pike is a 12″ scale Landspeeder. This would be a huge piece, but definetly not impossible considering the 12″ scale tanks we have seen for the military lines out. I have inquired more about the Cloud Car that we all heard about and my answer was “we’ll see”… Could that be a good “we’ll see” or a bad one? Who knows… Regardless we have some cool pieces that are coming and with all the rest talked about lately, those can be the icing on the cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

A couple of points…<\/p>\n

Firstly, the newsfeeds section is well worth checking out fairly often because we don’t usually post the content from there on the main page. Just today I posted some info from D & S Toys – they have the Skiff, Y-Wing and Carbon Freeze Chamber in stock (and more stuff too). Worth watching for stuff like that.<\/p>\n

Other point – our main page only displays the most recent posts. Once it’s gone from the main page it’s not away forever. If you click the “More News HERE” link at the bottom of the page you can see the archives which span from Jan 2000 to yesterday. I get a number of e-mails asking about old posts so there you go, they’re still there.<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend of mine made\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0plush Lumat from scratch, and I though I’d post it here because it really is excellent!

Upcoming POTJ Items<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 21, 2001 | 9:08 AM EST |\u00a0Greg<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s an interesting list of rumored upcoming POTJ items:<\/p>\n

TIE bomber with imperial officer
\nAT-ST with Chwey & Ewok
\nSnowspeeder with Luke & Dack
\n12″ Speederbike & Luke Endor
\n12″ Luke Dagobah & Yoda<\/p>\n

I can’t confirm that this is 100% true but it came from a very reliable source which has been correct before, and one item on there (the 12″ Speeder with Luke) has been rumored for a while now.<\/p>\n

It is possible that the TIE Bomber is really the TIE Interceptor and things got mixed up. But perhaps not? Guess we’ll have to wait ‘n see!

The new classic trilogy Palm Talkers are due to be released in Japan in April. If you’re the kind of person who occasionally buys stuff early via Japan on eBay or through specialist dealers, be wary with these because they WILL speak Japanese. I got a couple of the E1 Japanese ones and I did open one and while it’d very cool to have a Japanese speaking Battle Droid, I have no idea what he’s saying. These are going to be released in America, and they’ll speak your language, so be patient if you want to understand what Fett has to say.<\/p>\n

Although in the cases of Chewbacca and the droids, the language is fairly irrelevant….<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also fun knowing that Frank Oz is there with Hamill through much of the episode as Fozzie, Ms Piggy and Animal.

I received a mailshot today from Hasbro UK; a catalogue containing some info on upcoming figures in the UK. It has stuff we’ve already seen and got – the first wve of POTJ, and the Mega Action figures. It also shows the POTJ Sebulba, K-3PO, Saesee Tiin, R2-Q5, Lando Bespin, Tessek, IG-88, Amidala (Theed), and the 300th Fett. It says that some of the items are not available yet, but call at the end of March and you should be able to order. Personally I think that by then they still won’t have it all, Tessek I don’t expect to be seeing on a tri-logo card for a little while….but it’s not impossible. In any case, the number to call is 00800 22427276 (UK number in case anyone else has read this far). No prices are given.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well as we have all seen, the new Lando wave is already hit\u00a0eBay<\/a>, it’s just a matter of time we’ll see these hanging on the pegs of Walmart, Kmart, TRU and Target. A good friend in Seattle that is-we’ll say “on the inside”, let me know that they are ready to hit us here. I have heard a story or two of them floating around the Seattle area but no definite confirmation where they came from. So for those drooling at the pics we have all seen in the past few days, get your alarm clocks set…. Ummm is that the manager opening those Walmart doors now…<\/span><\/p>\n

Yup, yup Yak-ers my life finally seems to be settling back to normal (minus a few things). I never have caught my friendly crook, but I’m ready for ya now… I do have a new Sidi on the way, and then my half of the Brady Bunch is done. I hope to be able to get back to doing the Store Report section updates, but right now that will be on the back burner for just a little longer. So here we go once again guys…<\/span><\/p>\n

Slabbing is a term from the coin collecting world where a coin is graded and sealed in acrylic to prevent alteration of that condition. A company very close to my home seems to be in the business of doing this for Star Wars action figures. Their site is\u00a0http:\/\/www.toygrader.com<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an amazing concept (amazing one way or the other) and we want to know your opinion! Do you think it’s the greatest thing to happen to the hobby or proof that things have gone too far. Check out an article on the subject\u00a0here<\/a>and the follow up article\u00a0here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Collection For Sale<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 12, 2001 | 12:18 PM EST |\u00a0Greg<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Yakface reader Jason Gaitanis is in a rather unfortunate situation. he recently became a father, to two girls who were born 3 months premature. After a long time in hospital and a lot of surgery, the girls are ready to go home, but Jason needs to raise some money to pay for medical bills etc. As such, he’s been forced to sell his collection of MIMP and MOMC vintage Star Wars figures. Some facts about the collection:<\/p>\n

1. All figures include Lynn Terry acrylic cases which cost $12 each to produce.
\n2. With only 2 exceptions (4-Lom and Paploo), none of the cards feature any offers or promos on the front of the card which detract from the artwork\/image of the character. This was an extraordinarily difficult task for many of these figures.
\n3. All characters except Boba Fett appear on their “debut” cards. That is, the card with the film logo from which the character first appeared in the Kenner collection. No Empire figures on Jedi cards.<\/p>\n

You can read a list of all the items on offer\u00a0right here<\/a>\u00a0(.doc format).<\/p>\n

The items are for sale through New Force Comics, a sponsor of Yakface.com. If you have any questions about the items, or need photos, you can contact\u00a0Jason<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Rick @ New Force<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guys just a quick post from the\u00a0Sidster<\/a>\u00a0to help some of our loyal readers.\u00a0Yestertoys<\/a>\u00a0has some Y Wings in stock now. This Target exc. was a really tough piece to obtain but the guys at Yester got their hands on some. Some may think the price is steep but I figure that it will only go higher soon and some out there may think otherwise on the price. They have some mint boxed for $50 and some dinged boxes for $45. These I believe were obtained thru an overseas source and that also reflects the higher price. Head over now and check it out if you need it. Now back to my crazy life……<\/span><\/p>\n

Well as with many things in life, another decent place has gone by the way side. Yesterday was the final day at Etoys.com as they have now closed their doors. It is a shame as I have have excellent luck with some new items there. We are down to two remaining online retailers in KBkids and Amazon. There are plenty of other places, however none of them can compare pricewise with the retailers. Alas, we say goodbye.

I have had many write in wondering where are my posts? Well for all that is going on now, posting time is slim… I started a new job and so much more, just today someone tried to break into my house… Yes I said break in… So I will still be a part of Yak without a doubt but need to handle some things, til I can be full swing again.

Hasbro says NO to Ep II figure list<\/b><\/span>
\nMarch 7, 2001 | 7:11 PM EST |\u00a0Brian<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Talk About This Post<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Andy from Hasbro has this to say on the EP II figure list circulating around the net.
\nThe bottom line is this: There is no approved line list for Episode II yet. The movie is still over a year away, and the film is still being worked on. Nothing in the line is confirmed at this point, and Hasbro simply does not know yet what the final line will be. An approved line of toys is several months away at best, and even then will continue to evolve and change right up to release dates as the situation develops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodney sent this in:
\n“I bought a Theed Queen From Brian’s Toys & I found one at Target today 3\/06\/01. The one from Target is on a .0100 card the one from Brain’s Toys is .0400 & they have two diffrent leg lengths. The .0400 is not as long as the dress. The .0100 stick out past the dress.”
\nPossible variation there, let me know if you can confirm this, preferably with a scan.<\/p>\n

As for the card backs, it seems that as usual, some figures are shipping on the old cardback, some on the new one. Check out the card back pics of the Sith Apprentice Maul (see the post about that below this post) to see the new cardback.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve had a little feedback on\u00a0Red Pumpkin<\/a>\u00a0from a few people and from what I’ve heard, they sound reputable. In the meantime though,\u00a0Rebelscum<\/a>\u00a0have some useful information about these two-packs and ordering them from this store which you should definitely check out – stop by asap!<\/p>\n

In addition to the 3 figures showing up just now in these two-packs (Maul, Anakin and Obi-Wan) I know of two more that were made. Darth Sidious (Holograph) and Naboo Royal Guard also showed up. What’s more interesting to note though is that these two figures came with a Pit Droid which had a different figure sculpt, as well as a different toolbox sculpt. I only know of those 5 different figures to come with a Pit Droid, and while I have heard rumors of more existing I’ve never seen anything or even heard any names.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m afraid it has taken me a day or so to post this because I’ve been busy but a UK-based website called\u00a0Red Pumpkin<\/a>has some Maul\/Obi-Wan\/Anakin with bonus Pit Droid packs in stock for \u00a39.99 each – that’s approx $15 each. Not a bad price. Thanks go to Bret and Jeff for that info. I have never ordered from this site before, nor do I know anyone who has – in fact I had never heard of it – so I’m afraid I can’t vouch for them on packaging, shipping time or even if they’re good traders or not, so it’s pretty much up to your judgement. I’d appreciate it if someone would let us know what their trading experience with the company was like once they receive their item(s) so we know in future, thanks.<\/p>\n

I just want to add in my personal opinion on these Pit Droid packs that have been showing up. As was demonstrated with the Eopie, Hasbro don’t make a couple of hundred of these modern items, if there’s one around, there’s a reasonable number of them somewhere. I’d guess that these Pit Droid packs are just right now being dumped like stuff has been in the past. Don’t buy these as investments, I’ve a funny feeling any recent value they’ve had on eBay will dwindle. Don’t worry if you miss out right away on your chances to buy ’em either, I expect more will show up. Of course, as with the Eopie again, supply does run out since everyone wants these (they’re damn cool really) and there aren’t\u00a0that<\/i>\u00a0many of them, but there are plenty out there and it shouldn’t be too difficult or costly to locate at least one of ’em. Don’t pay too much.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The figures up for grabs in the competiton are:<\/p>\n

Anakin Skywalker Pilot with Bonus Pit Droid, Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi Knight with Bonus Pit Droid, Darth Maul Sith Lord with Bonus Pit Droid.<\/p>\n

Images of these figures can be found on the home page of\u00a0www.ultimart.com<\/a>

Ben sent in\u00a0this interesting scan<\/a>\u00a0of a creature from the line of Highlander toys. The magazine scan is from Tomart’s AFD #29, p58 – from 1996. As Ben points out, this creature bears a stunning resemblance to the Kaadu which Lucasfilm used in Episode One in 1999. Coincidence? Is this where Lucas’ inspiration came from? Or maybe it’s something else. In any case, it’s an interesting comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n

His spokesman, Phil Day, said: “The paralysis he had has now spread to his back so it Is not looking good at the moment.”<\/p>\n

“They don’t think it is a stroke, and it might be something to do with the blood. He said to me ‘I’ve no idea what is wrong with me – people haven’t been able to tell me’.”<\/p>\n

Prowse, whose family runs a gym, had been walking with a stick after an operation two years ago left him with one leg shorter than the other.<\/p>\n

“He can still move his legs but he has not been able to walk because he can’t apply any pressure on the walking stick,” said Mr Day. “He is still a very sick man.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
