As always, there was a lot going on at SDCC. We’ve rounded up a bunch of Star Wars news in one place, but also threw in a couple of non-Star Wars items that we liked…

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have teamed up with Victoria’s Cantina (YouTube channel / Twitter) to provide a Hasbro Q&A from SDCC. There is a lot of Vintage Collection information revealed here, but connecting the dots, I feel like we’re in familiar Vintage Collection territory. I feels like “wait ‘til next year” again. But there is reason for our core audience to be excited.
We’ve just received word from Litzky PR that the availability date for the SDCC exclusives on Hasbro Toy Shop has been changed to September. No specific date was given and the listings on HTS no longer show a specific order date.

Since Chris decided (unilaterally) that he was going to spend the entirety of the accumulated wealth in Bantha Skull’s war chest on a new Commando 8 (installed), we were left with nothing to fund a trip to SDCC. It’s not the same there without the Chargers, so in the end, Chris probably made the right call.
Instead, we recommend you check out some pics taken by our colleagues at Yodasnews, and posted on their Instagram account. They have pics of items at many different SW licensee booths. It should be well known by now that we are not fans of the 6” line, but nevertheless, it’s worth checking our their video of an incredible 6” scale A New Hope diorama at the Hasbro booth.
While it is amazing to behold, it also does have the unintentional effect of showing the immense quantity of real estate necessary to properly show off these 6” things in your home.
Check it out, and let us know your thoughts in the comments…
