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. Storey's knowledge [...]

Happy Star Wars Day! #MT4thBWY

Happy Star Wars Day!  Its such an exciting time once again to be a Star Wars fan.  With new books, comics, figures, video games, TV series and motion pictures to look forward to, why wouldn't we want to celebrate Star Wars! What started as a fan creation "May the 4th" has turned into an official Star Wars Day now that it has been embraced by both parent companies: Lucasfilm and Disney.  Today both fans and stores will be celebrating the Force.  The good folks over at Star Wars Action News have put together a nice list of special offers and swag available. Not to be missed this day is first trailer for Star Wars Rebels which debuted early this morning online and will air again later [...]

The Nerdist shows truth behind Kenner Commercials

The Nerdist takes a behind scenes look at what really went on while filming Kenner's The Return of the Jedi Collection commercial.  Who knew Gammorean Guards were so desirable! Kenner provided tons of commercials for the vintage line but in the modern line commercials have been somewhat scarce.  We hope to see a reemergence of them with new Star Wars media coming later this year and of course with next year's Episode VII! May the Figures be with you!

Star Wars Rebels Influences

We here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss can't help but to feel that we are picking up some familiar vibes from the cast of Star Wars Rebels.  If the show's character chemistry and dynamics is anything like the ill-fated Firefly we'll be in for one fantastic ride. We have already pointed out in the past how the archetypes also follow a another group of rebels we are all quite fond of. With all of these elements combined, the debut of Star Wars Rebels has us as excited as we are for Episode VII's debut.  Don't forget that the first trailer for Rebels will premiere this Sunday on May the Fourth during the news Lego Star Wars Yoda Chronicles episode! May the Figures be with you!

Vintage Videos & Posters from IGrewUpStarWars!

Most likely if you grew up with Star Wars in the 70's and 80's then you're already familiar with the nostalgic awesomeness of IGrewUpStarWars.com.  Tom Berges runs a great site for those who want to recapture what it was like to live and collect Star Wars during the era of the Original Trilogy.  One of the many great features of the site is their video library where you can find original productions, interviews, vintage restorations by RetroBlasting and vintage collector's childhood videos.  Their newest video release is not for the faint-of-heart carded collector as it contains numerous vintage toys being torn from the card; albeit takes place at Christmas in the early 80's.

When Seattle, Star Wars & Comicon Collide

Just over two weeks ago From 4-LOM to Zuckuss attended and presented at Seattle's Emerald City Comicon. Despite the con not having a huge Star Wars focus there was plenty of ways for fans to indulge in the Force.  Prior to the convention we released our "Star Wars Guide to Emerald City Comicon" which detailed many of the Star Wars related panels and activities available at the con but even despite our research there were even more Star Wars fun to be had.  The following is just some of the fun we had at the con. The Exhibitor Hall Like many cons the exhibitor sales floor contained a wide range of vintage and modern, under and over-priced and well loved to minty mint action figures. [...]
