If you were following the Hasbro presentation live blog at our friends Jedi Temple Archives, you know it was another fizzle for the 3.75” line.  The 6” line has some hits with an Emperor, Bossk, Hoth Han, Tauntaun, Hoth Luke and Wampa all announced, but there was nothing new revealed for the smaller scale.  Hopefully the booth will hold more reveals for the smaller scale.

One note is that the Chewbacca that we reported will be coming in the fall is Episode IV based (Yavin ceremony).  We made an assumption that it would be the Boushh’s prisoner version of Chewbacca.

The DVD of Plastic Galaxy: The Story of Star Wars Toys is now available for order on Amazon.  This documentary explores the groundbreaking and breathtaking world of Star Wars toys. Through interviews with former Kenner employees, experts, authors, and collectors, it looks at the toys’ history, their influence, and the fond and fervent feelings they elicit today.  As I said when the first trailer hit, if this doesn’t hit your right at home, you’re on the wrong web site.

There is a 13 minute preview of the documentary on the Plastic Galaxy website.

This comes due to a timely heads up from our friends at Jedi Temple Archives.  The Walgreens exclusive prototype Boba Fett is up for pre-order on walgreens.com.  These probably won’t last long.

Our recent DPCI report revealed that the Class I vehicle designation was returning which lead us to speculate that the figure and mini-vehicle platform was returning because that was what Class I previously designated.  A check of the Target scanners throws that in question, however.  Click through for the details.

You’ve probably already see this on Rebelscum or one of the other sites linking to them already.  My early to bed policy precluded me from posting this in a timely manner.  Even though nothing shown is “new” in the sense of being unknown, seeing the fall product is a bit exciting.  And am I the only one that finds it curious that Ree Yees and Starsher are not shown carded when they are next up in the line?

Wow.  According to the AFA population report, there are only 6 AFA 90 graded carded Yak Face figures in existence and if you have the funds, no you can own one.  No Yak Face figure has ever graded higher.  But be warned.  You might want to take a seat before looking at the Buy-It-Now price.  .

Every good reset (see post below) is preceded by a cleansing clearance.  And with that, the Toys R Us exclusive Vintage Collection X-Wing Fighter (Red 2) is on clearance for $39.98 down from $59.99.  Yes, that is my thumb in the upper left.  If you want the full sized image, hit the read more link.

Our friends at Yakface have revealed the planogram plans for next month’s Toys R Us reset.  You have to head over there for the details, but I’ll just say that it’s always good when Star Wars has media support.  It looks like we shall reclaim the feature displays at the front of stores!

Sideshow has been rolling out a slew of announcements as SDCC approaches.  Among the more awesome previews that were recently posted are some OT favorites.

The first Star Wars: Force for Change campaign will raise funds and awareness for UNICEF’s Innovation Labs and its innovative projects benefiting children in need.  As was announced earlier, the campaign gives you a chance to be in Episode VII, but now JJ Abrams ups the ante with a chance for an early screening of the finished movie in this new video which features an X-Wing like vehicle.  A real one.  Not a CGI one.

One of the high points of the collector calendar is San Diego Comic Con which starts this week.  We’ve polled our forums to see what they hope to see at the show.  Hit the read more link to get a sense of the Bantha Skull collecting pulse.  The preview image is a huge hint.
