Star Wars Action News reporter Steve was there and reports back to us with details about Celebration Japan, Celebration 5&#8217;s possible location, and even another Celebration in a certain country down under. He also managed to score a Jedi-Con exclusive Shadow Trooper 2-pack for one lucky Star Wars Action News listener! Listen to find out how you can win.<\/p>\n<p>Also this week, have you ever find yourself in a strange house on a rainy Monday night, talking to someone you&#8217;ve never met before and then pulling out some cash and filling up a box full of vintage figures? That&#8217;s what happened to Arnie when he replied to a local newspaper classified ad for a Star Wars collection for sale. He didn&#8217;t expect to find much but ended up taking home a boxload of &#8220;new&#8221; vintage figures. Marjorie and Arnie share the details of this experience in this week&#8217;s episode of Star Wars Action News, and we&#8217;ll also give you the lowdown on a licensed one-of-a-kind Star Wars collectible he has for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Marjorie and Arnie review the three new Evolution sets, Fett, Sith, and Vader&#8217;s Secret Apprentice from The Force Unleashed. We also look at some of the new Titanium vehicles and give a proper review to the new Grievous Starship. And Scott From Tulsa checks in with his sightings of The Force Unleashed figures in Hasbro&#8217;s 2008 Wave 2.<\/p>\n<p>All this and more on this week&#8217;s Star Wars Action News.<\/p>\n<p>You can download this week&#8217;s show\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080617110936\/http:\/\/www.swactionnews.com\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0or use the direct links:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080617110936\/http:\/\/www.swactionnews.com\/Podcasts\/SWAN135.MP3\">Regular Version<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080617110936\/http:\/\/www.swactionnews.com\/Podcasts\/Enhanced\/SWAN135.M4A\">Enhanced Version<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for listening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1206273324,87032,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>Toys &#8220;R&#8221; Us: Free Shipping on Action Figures.<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">March 23, 2008 | 7:55 AM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jedijaybird@comcast.net\">Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080617110936\/http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=2TAerZvlwjY&amp;offerid=116690.10000058&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\">ToysRUs.com<\/a>\u00a0is running a new special on selected action figures, vehicles, titaniums.

Also, it foregoes any weathering\/damage whatsoever. Essentially you pull it from the box, insert the missile accessories and you&#8217;re done. Is it worth $20?

He features several damaged removable armor bits as well as a tattered cape.

Vader&#8217;s shoulder and chest armor has a gold\/yellowing tint to it.

They have the Brutes, Unngoy and those bird-like sniper guys, these figures are really cool and detailed and come with accessories. They also have the Warthog, a Ghost and the Chopper, but they are small, but cool.<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;ve got to get cracken on this book review.
