“This will be a day long remembered…”
So who do we thank - Kenner for taking a chance or Twentieth Century Fox for being so convincing! Thanks to Andrew's Toyz for sharing the significance of this day.
15,000 Vintage Polish Bootlegs…wait you meant $15,000!
The site Polish Star Wars Collector has posted some great pics of some of the earliest bootleg figures to be released after the infamous Turkish Uzay bootlegs. Pictured above is the first wave to be released (in 1980) and therefore some of the rarest out there. They even have them for sale if you are willing to drop a cool 15 grand. A little steep for our blood but 4LOMKUSS.COM is a strong believer in the "if its worth it to you policy" so if these are a must-have or missing from your collection then click the pic above to check'em out. As for us, we are headed to the craft store because these would be a blast to customize!

Super fans of the force Kyle Newman and Paul Bateman have just released a fantastic poster for Newman's hilarious star tribute to Return of the Jedi. Encircled by vintage ROTJ figures this poster is a great tribute in and of itself as it is modeled after the classic 1-year anniversary poster for A New Hope. If you haven't seen this short documentary yet then click the pic above to head over to Entertainment Weekly to check it out.

The Vintage Death Star You Never Had…But Now Can!
Lego customizer Eric "Baron Sat" Druon has created his own version of the Death Star. Baron Sat's version is based on the vintage cardboard Death Star playset released in 1978. This vintage cardboard Death Star playset was not released in the United States and as such is missing from many a collection. It was released in the United Kingdom by Palitoys, in France by Meccano, in Australia by Toltoys and in Canada by Kenner Canada. There are variations among the four versions but overall they are generally the same playset. Click the pics above to see more pics from this great tribute to an elusive playset.
Lucasfilm Infinities
This week many online retail stores have put up for pre-sell the first waves of The Black Series and the Saga Legends series.

The Black Series: Wave 1 Padme Amidala (AOTC) Clone Trooper Sergeant (AOTC) Anakin Skywalker (AOTC) Biggs Darklighter (Pilot) Luke Skywalker (Ceremonial) Darth Vader (Bespin) Biker Scout Clone Pilot (ROTS)* *The Clone Pilot pictured resembles that of an Episode II Clone Pilot but in press materials it is referred to as an Episode III Clone Pilot.
