Our own Darth Dre was fortunate enough to see the Walmart special Rebels endcap set up in his store.  Not only was it set up, but it’s stocked with figures!  The only problem is…well…you’ll see.

The 30th Anniversary Collection was a line of some figures that will go down as legends and other figures that are easily forgotten.  Today’s Throwback Review looks at the Millennium Falcon gunner Han Solo figure which falls into the latter category.

The results are early, but the one figure accumulating from waves 4/5 in my area is the Yoda.  This pic is from my lunch Toys R Us run.  Maybe Hasbro should have given us articulation instead of the “realistic soft goods” they were going to give us anyway.  Good thing this figure is two per case in wave 6 too.  If you don’t get this soft goods reference, read the fourth question down.  Click through for the full sized image.

Please don’t misconstrue this as a complaint.  This is more how it should be.  But after the Stormtrooper hysteria a few months ago, I was shocked to see this trio of Black Series 6” Stormtroopers still sitting at my Walmart after a week.  Click through for the full sized image.

The 30th Anniversary Collection did’t have a Princess Leia or movie based Chewbacca in the basic figure line, but it included two different Biggs Darklighter figures.  We look at the second offering with the Tosche Station deleted scene Imperial Academy Biggs.

We have it on good authority that the Imperial Shadow Squad is making it into the back rooms of Target stores as we speak in advance of the week of November 1 release date.  If you are the impatient sort, you could try your luck with DPCI 087-06-1202 to see if you can secure yours early.

Downshifting from the McQuarrie Signature Series to the 30th Anniversary Collection’s “repaint wave” is a bit like when a radio station goes from blazing rocker to a ballad without first transitioning through Stairway to Heaven, but we’re going to risk it.  For today’s Throwback Review, we look at 2007’s Darth Vader Hologram figure.

I’m honestly a little sad that McQuarrie week (and a day) comes to a close today with 2007’s Concept Starkiller Hero figure.  It’s always fun to reminisce about the nascency of our beloved saga, but this chapter closes for now until we start tackling the 30th Anniversary Collection exclusives.

Toys R Us held a LEGO event today where guest could build their own free Micro Ghost from Star Wars Rebels and also receive a poster showing the 2014 Star Wars mini-figures and Stat Wars Rebels construction sets.  Click through for the full sized images.

As we pointed out last week, the concept Han Solo design actually appeared in the Rebels Spark of Rebellion movies, albeit briefly.  Today we look at one of the two main hero figures in the Ralph McQuarrie Signature Series with 2007’s Concept Han Solo.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted the results of the Q&A they conducted with Hasbro at the New York Comic Con preview party.  The era of doom and gloom feels like it’s coming to a close, but one piece of information pains me in my southern region.

Evidence of the the Concept Snowtrooper helmet’s influence on the aesthetic of Rebels was already abundant during the Spark of the Rebellion series premier movie.  Today’s Throwback Review focuses on the 2007 figure based on the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper.

Sideshow Collectibles Star Wars Boba Fett Star Wars Premium Format(TM) Figure is up for order.  The detailing looks amazing.  And even though I don’t want to muddle our main page with non-Star Wars news, I have to point out that the One sixth Deadpool also up for order.

Everything was back in stock at Hasbro Toy Shop this morning.  And I mean everything (even Ant Man).  Starsher has sold out in the time that it has taken me to post this.  With free shipping on orders over $50 and the code FAMILY2014 getting 20% off, the new items are not going to last long.

Hasbro has provided hi-res press images of the 3.75” figures revealed at New York Comic Con.  Hit the read more link for the full gallery.
