We’re closing in on a completed prisoner skiff with Kithaba.  Once the upcoming Weequay Hunter is released, we’re only awaiting Vedain and Velken Tezeri.  Until the ensemble is complete, click through to check out Kithaba.

The doctor is in.  Finally, after nearly a year long delay, VC57 Dr. Evazan (cantina patron) is here.  Click through to check out what Hasbro has in store for you with this figure.

The third wave of 2012 brings us another first.  It contains the first realistic figure based on a character from the Cartoon Network Clone Wars Series.  With that we have added the Clone Wars version of Anakin Skywalker to our archive.  Check him out.

And now we add the inaugural figure from the Massively Multiplayer Online game, The Old Republic.  Click through to check out some photos of the much anticipated Sith, Darth Malgus.

With the 93rd figure of the 2012 Vintage Collection, the Pawtucket Hasbros select Darth Vader in Episode IV armor.  And with that, we finally get a Vintage Collection Darth Vader on a “Star Wars” card.  Click through to check it out.

Is the third time a charm for the Imperial Navy Commander (also know as Death Star Trooper)?  You’ll have to click through to find out.

Big Bad Toy Store has wave 6 (officially wave 3) up for pre-order.  This is also known as the “Grand Moff Tarkin” wave.  Here are the new figures in this assortment:

1x Clone Pilot Davijaan “Odd Ball”
1x Grand Moff Tarkin
1x Nikto Skiff Guard
1x TFU II Galen Marek
1x SW:TOR Female Bounty Hunter (Shae Vizla)

And as promised, it also includes:

1x Darth Malgus

So if you miss out on him from wave 3, don’t worry.  He’s coming back (and coming back soon!).

Here we have one of those odd main character figures that Hasbro seems to have ignored (or improperly executed) for too long. Can Hasbro finally put Luke Skywalker (Hoth Outfit) to rest?  Well almost.  Click through to find out why.

As reported by Yakface.com, the code QVNLFNS will get you 10% off and free shipping on orders over $25 at Hasbro Toy Shop

Click through to check out their wares. One item that may pique your interest is the Deleted Scene wave case.

The good dudes over at Jedi Temple Archives have announced that wave 2 (3rd wave of 2012) has hit the Philippines meaning it won’t be too long before it starts showing up on US shores.  They even have a preview pic of the wave carded, so head on over to check it out.

This news is personally bitter sweet to me.  Between left over wave 1 Phantom Menace figures and a glut of AOTC wave returns from the $5 sales at discount stores, my local Target stores don’t have a lot of peg room for the only 5 new figures in this case.  Plus the moronic case assortment carries forward seven totally unnecessary wave 1 figures which will only further gum up the retail pipeline.

Hasbro, honestly did you learn NOTHING from 2011?  Start up your Q&A’s again so you can be held accountable for this.  Would combing wave 1.5 and 2 into a single case assortment so we could have 10 new figures to 2 carry forwards have made too much sense?  This really is pathetic on your part.  STOP STICKING STORES WITH MORE INVENTORY THEY CAN’T SELL THROUGH ALREADY JUST SO THEY CAN GET 5 FIGURES THAT WILL SELL OUT IN UNDER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF BEING PLACED ON THE PEGS.

Itching to see carded pics of Grand Moff Tarking, the Nikto Skiff Guard, Galen Marek and the debut figure of Shae Vizla?  Well head on over to Sandtroopers.com to check them out.  Considering Hasbro is forging forward with asinine case assortments, this may be your only chance at seeing them.

He does it again.  Volkerc of Star Wars Figuren has another scoop for you too peep.  Here is the first ever carded pic (to my knowledge) of Odd Ball.  Mesa like.  Click on over to check it out.

Big Bad Toy Store has waves 2 (Luke Hoth / Malgus), 2.2 (Dr. Evazan / Aayla Secura) and 2.5 (mixed wave with hard to find 2010/11 revisits - Gamorrean Guard) available for pre-order.  Head on over to reserve yours.  This has been a rough go a retail for many of us, so why risk it? Guarantee yourself a shot at these awesome figures.

No Telling if this is permanent or a temporary price drop, but it’s good to see that Marshall Lucky has declared war on high prices.  Vintage Collection figures have returned to their former price of $8.99 still under the 1351 DPCI. Thank the maker.

This is the fifth current standard A-Wing pilot we’ve received.  This time Hasbro changes up the script a bit by giving us a non-human species, but there are other subtle changes as well.  For those you have to click through and check out the Mon Calamari Rebel Pilot.
