I went to one of the scanners and punched in the DPCI for the Imperial Shuttle just for kicks, and it came up on clearance for $14.99! They don&#8217;t have any here at the 4 stores around here, but just wanted to pass on this bit of info if anyone wants to check out their local Target store. If the store doesn&#8217;t have one of the scanners where you can punch in the DPCI number in yourself, just ask Customer Service or one of the floor associates to see if they can assist you. Hey, they just may have one in the back that someone forgot to put out or something. Doesn&#8217;t hurt to try.

From these we generated a 3D model to use as a master pattern to create highly accurate molds from which we produce our helmets in top quality fiberglass. The unique orange pattern of markings which distinguish this helmets from other clone forces were supplied by Lucasfilm Ltd., ensuring that your helmet accurately represents those worn on by the Clone Troopers on Utapau.<\/p>\n<p>Since we used original computer renders, you can be assured that our 212th Attack Battalion Trooper Helmet is an exact replica, accurately repeating the multitude of subtle shapes and curves that make up this incredible piece of armor that bridges the gap between the Clone Trooper forces of the prequels and the Stormtroopers of the classic trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>The 212th Attack Battalion Helmet will be strictly limited to 1,000 units worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The 212th Attack Battalion Helmet will retail for $399 and will be available for pre-order beginning on January 10, 2007 at 9 am PST for members of the 2006 and 2007 MR Collectors Society!

Unfortunately, due to the small size of Yoda\u2019s hilt, Master Replicas\u2019 team of product designers and engineers have been unable to fit all of the necessary light and sound technology in place to create a \u201crealistic\u201d Yoda FX that would live up to the standards of its predecessors \u2013 that is, until now! With recent breakthroughs in Force FX technology, we are pleased to announce that the Yoda Force FX Lightsaber has become a reality!<\/p>\n<p>Since Yoda was created digitally for the prequel trilogy, his lightsaber was also a digital construct. And so, Lucasfilm once again granted Master Replicas engineers access to the ILM computer files and reference images, allowing for the creation of the most authentic, realistic Force FX lightsaber possible. While the Yoda Force FX Lightsaber is smaller than anything released to date \u2013 measuring roughly 33-inches (including the blade), versus average Force FX which measures 44 inches \u2013 remember, as Yoda taught us, \u201cSize Matters Not!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And of course, the Yoda Force FX features:<br \/>\n\u2022 An enhanced glowing green blade with realistic power-up and power-down light effects. The power-up and power-down light effects are produced by a string of 64 super-bright LEDs that ignite sequentially inside the blade.<br \/>\n\u2022 Five motion sensor controlled sound effects digitally recorded from the movie: power-up, idle hum, swing, clash, and power-down.<br \/>\n\u2022 3 built-in motion sensors for super sensitivity: 2 for detecting movement and 1 for detecting the impact of the blade.<br \/>\n\u2022 A durable metal hilt looks and feels like a real lightsaber.<br \/>\n\u2022 A sturdy blade is permanently attached to the hilt.<\/p>\n<p>Add the weapon of the greatest Jedi in the Galaxy \u2013 wise, old Master Yoda \u2013 to your collection today!<\/p>\n<p>$119.00<br \/>\nCollectors Society Pre-Order: January 10, 2007 (9:00 am Pacific Time)<br \/>\nGeneral Public Pre-Order: January 11, 2007 (9:00 am Pacific Time)<br \/>\nExpected to Begin Shipping: Spring 2007<\/p>\n<p>Also available: Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Lightsaber Episode III, Darth Vader Lightsaber Episode V FX<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1168445029,40844,\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: medium;\"><b>Toyguide Update: Comic Pack #2 &#8211; Vader &amp; Rebel Officer<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: xx-small;\">January 10, 2007 | 11:03 AM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jedijaybird@comcast.net\">Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/tac\/comicpacks\/02.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727im_\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/ActionFigures\/tac\/comicpacks\/02\/cfsm.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/center><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nThe Yakface Toyguide updates continue with the addition of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/tac\/comicpacks\/02.html\">Comic Pack #2.<\/a>\u00a0This funky set, with decos inspired by the illustrations from Star Wars Comic #1, includes Darth Vader with Interrogation Droid (originally released in the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/potf2\/commtech\/02.html\">Commtech<\/a>\u00a0assortment) in the POTF2 line and the Rebel Officer (originally released as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/potj\/46.html\">Rebel Trooper<\/a>) in the POTJ line.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1168367452,92085,\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: medium;\"><b>Toyguide Update: #060 Clone Trooper (Sergeant)<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: xx-small;\">January 9, 2007 | 1:30 PM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jedijaybird@comcast.net\">Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/tsc\/060.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727im_\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/ActionFigures\/tsc\/060\/cfsm.jpg\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727im_\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/ActionFigures\/tsc\/060\/lf4sm.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/center><span style=\"font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Geneva, Arial; font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nThe Yakface Toyguide updates roll on with the addition of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20090802235727\/http:\/\/www.yakface.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/tsc\/060.html\">Clone Trooper (Sergeant)<\/a>\u00a0A welcome addition for me to the clone ranks, as I am a big fan on the EII Clone design.
