There seems to be a disconnect between all parties in knowing what is available (and when) to the consumer. With the planned marketing and product release push that <em>Star Wars Battlefront<\/em> received, you&#8217;d think that tie-in promotional product such as this would be better communicated and advertised to the public.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/TFA\/TBS\/exclusives\/battlefront_shocktrooper.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for our detailed image gallery\u00a0and to judge for yourself whether this figure\u00a0is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates continue\u00a0with the addition of the\u00a0Walmart Exclusive 6&#8243; Battlefront Imperial Shock Trooper\u00a0from The Black Series.
