Our very own, but lazy, admin, Ruadh, found Ponda Baba, the Echo Base trooper and Bastila Shan at the Target in Lakewood, CA. Start hunting!
The 2009 Fans’ Choice figure, Bastila Shan, has been added to the photo archive. Click through to see if the Knights of the Old Republic favorite is a worthy purchase (it is).
The Rebel Soldier in Echo Base Battle Gear, which is also known as the deck officer or rebel officer, has been added to the photo archive. Click through to see if this much needed addition to your Hoth corps has been worth the wait.
Normally, we do the new figures in numeric order, but c’mon…WALRUS MAN. I had to skip 68 and 69 for a second and jumps straight to VC70 Ponda Baba.
Wave 9 is in hand. Look for non-crappy cell phone pics in the photo archive soon.
If you were in on the early pre-orders of the much anticipated Ponda Baba case from Big Bad Toy Store, check your in-box. Emails are being received stating that the product has arrived and is being prepped to ship. This could also be an indication the brick and mortar isn’t too far behind!

The numbering is now accurate through the first three waves of 2012 and includes individual entries for the SDCC Death Star figures.

They become momentarily sincere and ask some genuine questions of Hasbro.

The big daddy from the San Diego Comic Con is here. Click through to check out the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star set including 14 figures, two of which are (frustratingly) exclusive to this set.
Lots of good stuff here, some of which has been seen in other recent articles, and some stuff that is new like the fact the Luke’s lightsaber during the Millenium Falcon training scene is restored to a bright blue (and in my opinion looks better than the original print).
