Hasbro’s Star Wars Timeline

Yesterday MTV.com published a timeline of Hasbro's Star Wars action figures. The timeline is geared more for educating new viewer on where in the Star Wars Saga the new animated series Star Wars Rebels takes place.  The image is very cool but is not a true timeline of the actual figures as it only uses figures from past couple of years (specifically The Black Series, Movie Heroes and Saga Legends lines). As stated by our good friend Criz Bee of Jedibusiness.com, one glaring oversight with the timeline is the lack of any reference to the 6 Season run of The Clone Wars. No word yet if this will actually see print form as a holiday or convention giveaway but if such information surfaces we will [...]

The Black Series – Checklists and Pocket Guides

We have added two new checklists to our Collecting Resources page.  The Black Series, now entering its second iteration with its new TIE Fighter Pilot motif and use of blue and no longer orange in its packaging, has been added to our database.  Also new with these two is our debut of the Pocket Guide.  The Pocket Guide is our attempt to give you a checklist that is both printer friendly and presented on one page for a fairly easy and low-tech way to track your collection on the go. 2013 The Black Series 2014 The Black Series Pocket-Guide We are currently hard at work at updating and completing checklists from the more recent lines so look for more updates and additions in the weeks ahead.  But [...]

New Toys, Videos & Displays but no Figures

Targets across the country have completed their "fall resets" (where they rearrange their aisles to make room for new merch and toy lines) and in the process vastly improved the Star Wars presence in their toy aisles. By adding large and impressive signage and new Star Wars Rebels, 6" The Black Series, Jaxx's 20" figures and Star Wars Command products they are geared up for bringing Star Wars to many a Christmas tree this winter.  But with this increased presence, not a new 3 3/4" figure is to be found. The only figures that appear to be showing up currently is the previously hard to find Mara Jade and Darth Plagueis wave of The Black Series. Now August is said to be the release month [...]

SDCC Q&A with Hasbro Brand Team

From 4-LOM to Zuckuss  had the chance to sit down with the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team for a brief Q & A session at San Diego Comic-Con.  Ryan Beise, also of Galaxy of Toys  and Star Wars: Collecting Cosmos  podcasts, chatted with Bill Rawley and Jeff Labovitz about what we can and cannot look forward to from Hasbro in the next year and sadly Episode VII  was not up for discussion.

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 [...]
