Japanese Saga Legends Figure Exclusive Stands

When the new limited articulated Saga Legends line debuted last year it was announced that Japan would be carrying the figures as well but in that nation's popular blind box format.  Its was announced that the figures would be a mix of Saga Legends and Mission Series figures.  Fifteen figures that were pictured on the backside of the blind boxes, but what wasn't shown was the fact that each figure would include an action figure stand! The stands are nothing new to long time Star Wars figure collectors as they are reissues of the "Star Wars" stand that was made available with the 2006 The Saga Collection series.  Although this time they did not include the printed name of the figure on each stand. The [...]

Well its been quite the week for Episode VII and the future of Star Wars films! Monday, June 2nd - Saw 40+ images taken from the same set director JJ Abrams previously revealed in his Force for Change campaign video.  The photos appear to have been taken purposely as many of the subjects were smiling and posing.  The images were "leaked" by TMZ and can be found on their website.

The Disney Store’s Figure Collector

We couldn't have been happier to read the latest entry, written by fellow collector Steve Sansweet, posted to the official Star Wars Blog.  Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, and its pricey Star Wars franchise, continues to happily surprise us.  Sansweet's blog post introduced us to the faces behind The Disney Store's recent Star Wars immersion and what a joy it was to discover that the Vice President of Sales for North America is a hardcore collector! Jonathan Storey is a lifelong Star Wars collector and clearly has brought his passion into The Disney Stores and their new merchandise.  From 4-LOM to Zuckuss must confess to being fans of the new talking 13" figures, the plush Bantha and are looking forward to picking up the figurine sets.

New TRU Exclusives – A Potentially Pricey Lot!

Good gravy! It looks like we will be dropping some serious money at Toys R Us in the future. Rebelscum has information on potential exclusives coming to Toys R Us. Now contrary to the US amounts listed in the article - its our belief that the prices listed in pounds will actually be the US prices. $100 for Battle on Endor set seems reasonable considering the cost for a single figure is up to $10 and we are getting 8 of them plus a what was once a $20-$30 vehicle. The Cantina Showdown could simply be 3-4 figures with a bar piece for $40 (fingers crossed for the middle "dispenser" piece). The real question is- what could possibly be added to a Rancor set to justify [...]
