The Sail Barge of Our Dreams

It was just over a year ago when Hasbro announced the HasLab initiative and when we couldn't log on fast enough to lend our support (we believe we were just about the 10th backer). For the next 45 days we tracked the daily progress of The Khetanna, knowing full well at first it was not a sure thing but as we predicted (at about the halfway point) the Barge became a reality just before the deadline. Flash forward a year and a month and the toy/playset that sits before us was both worth the wait and worth every single penny. Upon our Monday delivery of the barge, Sprocket the Minature Schnauzer quickly claimed it for himself. As much as he thought he we would make the perfect [...]

Happy International Women’s Day 2019

What Princess Leia began in 1977 as the leader of the Rebellion is still alive and well today in the Star Wars Saga.

Vintage Toys on The Goldbergs

On last week's episode of The Goldbergs, the Goldberg children were threatened with having some of their favorite toys given away to their cousin Gleb. Among the amazing haul of '80s toys were some vintage Star Wars, He-Man, Transformers, and GI Joe items to name a few. When it comes to Star Wars, the following pieces were clearly visible from the vintage Kenner line: Twin-Pod Cloud Car "Battle Damaged" X-Wing Fighter Scout Walker Vehicle Land Speeder Land of the Jawas Action Playset This seventeenth episode of Season 6 plays up a Perfect Strangers rift and is aptly titled "Our Perfect Strangers" and debuted on February 27th, 2019. Erica, Barry and Adam are not happy when their distant relative Gleb visits from Russia, until they realize he can make their [...]

The Dryden Vos Easter Egg

We were thrilled last week to stumble upon the latest wave of Black Series figures, as they not only begin our ramp-up to celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the start of the Prequels but provide collectors a chance to add two new characters never done before to their collections. Wave 20 of Hasbro's The Black Series includes 6 new figures: Mace Windu, Padme Amidala, Battle Droid, Han Solo (Mimban), Vice Admiral Holdo and Dryden Vos.  Of these six, Holdo and Vos have yet to be done in action figure form which makes these two very exciting (although we 3 3/4" collectors are still holding our breath). Now as mention at New York Comic Con last year, the leader of Crimson Dawn comes with a special feature [...]

“The Parking Lot” – New Site Section

Welcome to our newest visual database on the site: The Parking Lot! Since 2015, Star Wars has produced a massive amount of media in comparison to the proceeding 4 decades. Four films, three animated shows, and various online micro-series have made for a rich and diverse era of Star Wars but it has also become a challenge for Hasbro and other companies to produce the deep character selections they have in the past. In order to encourage and hopefully inspire, we have teamed with fellow collector @Finndormoon to produce a list of the major and key characters, droids, beasts, vehicles, and playsets we would love to see Hasbro revisit and release in future lines. We have broken our list down into two categories, the kid-focused 5POA line, [...]
