Comic Con Exclusives<\/b><\/span>
\nJuly 31, 2007 | 10:08 PM EST |\u00a0Mark<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Comic Con 2007, to me, it was the year of the exclusive. This year seemed to be heavier on exclusives than on news. The cost for the exclusives is beginning to rival the cost of the trip itself. Not to mention adding in the cost of shipping to get all these things back home. But while they are expensive, the exclusives are well worth it. This year the exclusives outshinned them all. If you were able to attend, odds are, you still missed one of two of them. If you were able to get an exclusive that was not mentioned on this list, please email me and I will get it added.<\/p>\n

Comic Con 2007<\/b><\/span>
\nJuly 27, 2007 | 11:23 AM EST |\u00a0Mark<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello from San Diego, once again, I find myself in awe at the amount of people that have shown up for this show.<\/p>\n

Here are some small highlights todate.<\/p>\n

In the images you will find in the Misc section:<\/p>\n

Mimo Co, has a second wave of USB drives coming, no news as to the new Characters, however there were hints to possibly expanding to an 8gb format.<\/p>\n

Cartamundi has new playing cards coming, There will be regular playing cards that will be carried in normal retail chains such as WalMart and Target, there is also some images of the poker set that is targeted for Sharper Image and will retail for about $150, the case lights up when it is opened, from under the chips. The chips do not have any denomination, as there arent any in Star Wars, however, there is also a dealer chip, and two decks of cards.<\/p>\n

LEGO, had nothing new there, they are giving away the Bronze C3PO, and they were handing out, TO KIDS, the 1 in 10,000 gold C3PO. I also picked up a NEW SIth Infiltrator set, 7663, from LEGOland. I will be asking them about that today. It is an exclusive set, just not sure where it is exclusive to yet.<\/p>\n

Hasbro is giving away the poster of all the figures, as you can see in the images section, they are also giving away coins, one for Comic Con, and one for Indiana Jones, the Indy figures will not include coins, this is just part of the promo.<\/p>\n

Corgi\/Master Replicas, is going to have a new scaled helmet design, the clone trooper, which leads me to believe they will be having multiple colors of the helmet, with the same sclupt.<\/p>\n

More news today as the Hasbro information should be coming at noon here in San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFor the past 100 weeks we have been coming to you and telling you what we’re finding in stores. This week we TAKE YOU WITH US as we produce our first Video Podcast (Vodcast for the techno geeks out there). We have a “hidden camera” store report, and we also give you a virtual tour of the still under construction Sithsonian to let you see the progress we’ve had over the past two years.<\/p>\n

The entire on-air staff of Star Wars Action News turned out. Brock puts down the book for a few minutes and gives us a presentation on three of his favorite collectibles. Scott goes on a rampage. Twice. And Jakob does what Jakob does best, make us laugh.<\/p>\n

In addition Star Wars Action News listeners turn out to give you their videos. Reverend Strone takes you on an international toy run to stores that you’ve never heard of (okay, I’ve never heard of, you may be more cultured than I). The Paducah Imperials take us on an epic quest to find a McQuarrie Chewbacca figure with some interesting results. And TV star Greg the Bunny lets us peek into his room while he plays with his Star Wars toys.<\/p>\n

JediLarryB also turns out to review a Star Wars pachinko machine and give us a quick tour of his theater.<\/p>\n

And that’s just the beginning…<\/p>\n

You can see it all on your iPod or Zune. (Don’t worry…if you’re not video enabled and just want to listen to the show, there’s an audio only version as well).<\/p>\n

You can download this week’s show from\u00a0www.swactionnews.com<\/a>\u00a0in whichever format you want!<\/p>\n

Also, if you’re in San Diego or that area on Friday, July 27th at about 8 p.m. don’t forget the\u00a0Star Wars Action News San Diego Comic-Con<\/b>\u00a0dinner! It will be held at the Rock Bottom Brewery at 4th and G streets, right by Horton Plaza. It is within walking distance of the ComicCon; however, if you don’t feel like walking (after a day on your feet!) the shuttle to the Westin @ Horton Plaza should do the trick. We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Congratulations Arnie and Marjorie on your milestone and for continuing to have the best Podcast on the web!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hasbro’s R2-KT Press Release<\/b><\/span>
\nJuly 23, 2007 | 10:03 PM EST |\u00a0Bill<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the Official announcement about the Comicon Exclusive R2-KT:<\/p>\n

Hasbro Honors Memory of 501st Founder\u2019s Daughter by Unveiling Limited Edition Star Wars\u2122 Action Figure
\nHasbro and Lucasfilm Ltd donate $100,000 to Benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation\u00ae<\/p>\n

PAWTUCKET, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hasbro, Inc. and Lucasfilm Ltd. announce the creation of a limited-edition Star Wars action figure to honor Katie Johnson, a very special Star Wars fan who tragically passed away from brain cancer in 2005 at the age of seven. In conjunction with this figure, Hasbro and Lucasfilm will help make more wishes come true for children like Katie by donating $100,000 in her memory to the Make-A-Wish Foundations of South Carolina and San Diego. Hasbro\u2019s R2-KT droid figure will be available at San Diego Comic-Con International July 25-29 at the booths of Hasbro and StarWarsShop with a small inventory also being offered for sale online through HasbroToyShop.com and StarWarsShop.com following the event.<\/p>\n

The Star Wars saga has always been near to the heart of the Johnson family\u2013in fact, Katie\u2019s father, Albin Johnson, is the founder of the 501st Legion, a Star Wars costuming fan club that performs charity work around the world. So it\u2019s not too surprising that Katie\u2019s sister Allie wished her sister had an \u201cArtoo\u201d droid to look after her while she underwent her cancer treatment\u2013just like R2-D2 cared for Padm\u00e9 in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.<\/p>\n

In 2005, the R2-D2 Builders club\u2014a fan group\u2014created for Katie a life-size astromech droid named R2-KT (named \u201cKT\u201d after Katie) modeled after the iconic R2-D2 character in the Star Wars films. Hasbro, the maker of Star Wars action figures, and Lucasfilm both recognized the uniqueness and special story this heartfelt tribute represented and decided to go forward with a special edition 3-3\/4\u201d R2-KT figure in Katie\u2019s honor as a way to allow all fans to learn about and participate in Katie\u2019s continuing legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cKatie\u2019s story touched us all, and we are very proud to be involved in a project that will help raise awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation so many more wishes may be granted to children like Katie,\u201d said Derryl DePriest, marketing director for Star Wars toys at Hasbro.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Make-A-Wish Foundation has long been a favorite charity of the 501st and Lucasfilm, and they granted Katie a fantastic wish before she died,\u201d said Derek Stothard, Lucasfilm\u2019s director of toys. \u201cSo we are especially proud to be associated with Hasbro in this great endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The R2-KT action figure\u2014which looks like a pink version of R2-D2\u2014will cost $9.99. In addition, Albin and Allie Johnson will be bringing the full-size R2-KT to Comic-Con to show to fans. To find out more about the R2-KT project, please visit www.r2kt.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWe Americans had fun on our soil last May but now fans overseas got to have their fun as well, much closer to home this time! The first European Star Wars Celebration was held this past weekend and Star Wars Action News’ own GingerPrince was there with his wife. They attended an outdoor screening of A New Hope, met Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian with mixed results, and had a grand old time. They detail it all in this week’s Star Wars Action News.<\/p>\n

Plus Marjorie and Arnie look back at 2001 and discuss some of the stranger figures made available during that time, some original creations of the Power of the Jedi line.<\/p>\n

Finally Scott from Tulsa joins us in the studio to debate the merits of the Gentle Giant pre-order and raffle systems as well as the Entertainment Earth Mystery 14 pack.<\/p>\n

All this and much more on this week’s 99th episode of Star Wars Action News!<\/p>\n

You can download this week’s show from\u00a0www.swactionnews.com<\/a>\u00a0or directly from\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, if you’re in San Diego or that area on Friday, July 27th don’t forget the Star Wars Action News San Diego Comic Con dinner! It will be held at a location to be announced at 8 p.m. Be sure to e-mail\u00a0show@reviewstarwars.com<\/a>\u00a0if you’d like to join us!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn 2000 I think all Star Wars fans had a bit of a Star Wars hangover. We felt sick from all the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and KFC we’d ingested, and we were seeing $0.99 Darth Maul figures on store shelves. Star Wars hoopla from the year before had burned out quickly, and while we were looking forward to Episode II it was many years away and details were few. Still, in that time Star Wars collecting continued with a new figure line, a few new video games, and some new books. This week Marjorie & Arnie look back to Y2K and remember fondly an item released that year.<\/p>\n

Also this week, Scott reviews two pieces of Gentle Giant exclusive goodness–the Commander Gree mini-bust and the Yoda\/R2 maquette. Both are big bucks after-market, and the Yoda\/R2 goes up for San Diego attendee orders this week…are they worth it?<\/p>\n

In addition this week, a Hasbro Q&A, voice mails, and details on the San Diego Comic Con Star Wars Action News dinner!<\/p>\n

Update – several more reports have come in with collectors finding these marked at $8.38, and even a sighting of them at the Merle Hay Mall Target in Des Moines, Iowa at for just $5.98 each.<\/p>\n

From all of us here at Yakface.com, we hope all our readers have a happy and safe holiday.<\/p>\n

Also in the midst of your festivities, perhaps take the time to remember what this day really means. Most people in the United States celebrate this holiday, but do you know exactly why Independence Day is so important to our country?<\/p>\n

To be independent means to take care of yourself, making your own rules and providing for your own needs. Which is what people in our country’s history gave their lives for. They wanted us to be able to capitalize on the gift of freedom; and achieve the goals we should always be working for, and about the people who fought so hard to make these ideas possible.<\/p>\n

So this 4th of July, please take a moment and remember to thank all of the efforts and lives that were devoted to make our country what it is today; and to honor the courage it took for our ancestors to stand up for what they knew was right, regardless of their fears.<\/p>\n

God Bless, and Happy Independence Day!

Also this week, Nathan gives us a June, 2007 stories report and Darth Cheddar brings us up to speed on the latest expansion pack from Wizards of the Coast’s Star Wars Miniatures game. Plus listener voice mails and store reports, and a dose of the Hasbro Q&A!<\/p>\n

Our contest to win a free Gentle Giant Darth Vader Animated Maquette, courtesy of\u00a0Andrew’s Toyz<\/a>\u00a0and Star Wars Action News, is still underway for one more week! All the details are in the show…don’t miss out on your chance!<\/p>\n

You can download this week’s show from\u00a0www.swactionnews.com<\/a>\u00a0or directly from\u00a0here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
