Today is a bit of a national holiday with the first full day of NFL games.  To commemorate this special day, we feature a figure that is special to me.  Throughout the amazing breadth of the Star Wars action figure line, 2004’s Star Wars “Saga” R1-G4 is among my absolute favorites.  It’s the subject of today’s Throwback Review.

Bantha Skull reader Lance Mora found the new Star Wars Rebels vehicles at a Toys R Us in Las Vegas.  Thanks for the heads up, Lance!

I know, I know. Jim is becoming the official banthaskull bargain hunter and Kmart reporter. Well, earlier today I received a text from my ol’ buddy and fellow forum mod Dre, who told me his local Kmart had the exclusive Vintage Scanning Crew sets on clearance. Honestly…

Nothing quite says Star Wars like droids, and what’s better than one droid in a pack than two.  Today we review 2006’s Saga Collection Power Droid which also included a Treadwell droid just to sweeten the pot.  If you have an Echo Base hangar display, it would be naked without these two little guys.

Hello ladies and gentlemen.  I am back with another does of off topic news.

Lets see what’s new this week, shall we?

We had to get to this figure eventually, and it seemed best just to get it out of the way.  2003’s Throne Room Duel Luke Skwalker is perhaps the worst figure in the history of the line, but it’s so bad that it’s actually funny.  And with that, I offer today’s Throwback Review.

Once the Throwback Reviews started, it was only a matter of time until we got to the worst figure ever.  Check back tomorrow morning for one of the most unfortunate offerings from Hasbro to date.

If you happen to have a Kmart near you that you would consider walking into, and they still have some leftover TVC figures, well get ready to party like it’s 2007 all over again. Kmart has placed the Vintage Collection basic figures on sale for the next few weeks for the low, low price of $6.84. The sale ends 9/27/14. Happy hunting.

It should become apparent by now that I am fascinated with the Star Wars “Saga” figures, especially those wearing dresses. So we continue this mini-run of Saga figures with 2003’s Wat Tambor figure.

Black Series 3.75” wave 5 is available for pre-order.  As a reminder, Ree-Yees and the skiff guard are one per case with no known carry forwards, but they can be ordered individually through e-tail.

Hi-res images of the Ultimate Collector Series Slave I.  The set is a 1996 pieces and includes five mini-figures (if you count the carbonite block).

Sticking with the phenomena of the 2003 Star Wars “Saga” line, today we look at the Secret Ceremony Padmé Amidala.  Because when I think Star Wars, I think wedding.
