The Hobby Hall’s Star Wars Collections

Each year the Washington State Fair (known as the Puyallup Fair to locals) plays host to the collections of a handful of collectors.  From everything from bottle caps to Batmobiles, PEZ dispensers to playing cards; if someone has ever collected it, there’s a good chance it’s been featured at the Washington State Fair.  The Hobby Hall is where collectors of all ages have their collectibles staged for the two and half-week run of the fair. Collections are selected by a committee and vary by size.  This year, fans of vintage and modern toys had many displays to fawn over but the coolest (and yes we are very biased here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss) was the vintage Ewok collection. This fantastic collection of Ewok paraphernalia [...]

Speculative Star Wars Rebels & Ep VII Figures

Last week's reveal of Toys 'R' Us' upcoming Star Wars Rebels Mission Series exclusive The Ghost, featuring a holographic Obi-Wan Kenobi, prompted us to revisit Dan Curto's leaked Rebels photo from earlier this year.  Now with the knowledge gained from Hasbro's San Diego Comic-Con presentation, we are fairly certain we can speculate about the numbering of and wave assortment of the upcoming Rebels figures. We know from online pre-sales that the first case available will include 12 different figures.  The first six being from the new animated series with the rest pulling from the previously released Saga Legends figures. We have 'X'd' out the figures that have been officially announced from Hasbro and color-coded them to match the photo's wave color-code.  Basic Figures - Wave [...]

Star Wars Rebels Fast Approaching

EBay and online stores are always a good indicator that new product is coming and this week Star Wars Rebels found a presence at both.  Multiple sites reported the first wave of Rebels vehicles appeared on eBay this week and some went for close to double the $25 MSR. Also up for pre-sale online now is the first wave of figures which consists of an impressive 12 different figures per case.  Now only half of the figures are new as the other six are repacks from the Saga Legends and Mission Series line. Andrew's Toyz, who seems to have a connection at Hasbro as they tend to get images earlier than most, has these and the next two waves of vehicles up for pre-sale with a tentative [...]

Star Wars Rebels at Toronto Fan Expo ’14

Our friend and Canadian correspondent Mike MacDonald reports in with his trip to this past weekend's Toronto Fan Expo 2014. I made the drive up the 401 this past Saturday with my family to Toronto Fan Expo.  The crowds were absolutely crazy, I’ve never seen such traffic at a con before.  I’m not sure what the hubbub was about this year that made it so crazy busy but I managed to squeeze through the crowd and make my way to both the LEGO and Star Wars Rebels booths to check things out. First stop was the LEGO booth where there was a big Star Wars presence, after being greeted by full sized LEGO versions of Rocket Raccoon and Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, that is. Across from the [...]

I.C.E. Seattle’s First Anniversary

One year ago today in Seattle, Washington, started one of the most impressive Star Wars collector events to ever take place.  I.C.E. (International Collector's Event) Seattle was put on by Seattle's (and the country's) oldest Star Wars collecting club, SARLACC.  The Seattle ARea Lucasfilm Collectors Club was founded by Gus Lopez and other Seattle collectors in 1994 and boasts an active and thriving membership still today and on Labor Day weekend 2013 they put on an exclusive 5-day "convention" for a handful of lucky collectors from around the world. Among the many highlights of the event was the release of The I.C.E. Star. Obliviously taking after the vintage international cardboard version of the Death Star Playset, this star features the collections of many of the collectors who live [...]
