In the comments section of this Facebook post, Dan, drops a lot if insight into the Black Series including the fact that it may be used to clear out Hasbro’s “parking lot” as well as some heretofore unheard figure rumors.  Clearing out the parking lot may be a bitter sweet thing as Dan indicates. 

Update:  We have received word that this report is not accurate from a credible source.  I’m leaving the article open for now as more of a talking point.

I feel I’ve been very angry lately and this one has me spitting nails.  Check out our review of the (not) 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper.

Disney Interactive has teamed up with LucasArts to announce Star Wars: Assault Team which is (another?) turn based “card” game for mobile devices.  I guess Star Wars: Force Collection is now the Windows ME of Star Wars card based video games.

The new Fans’ Choice figure is here!  The new Fans’ Choice figure is here! Mara Jade and the most talked about head sculpt in recent memory has been reviewed.

I’m a dog guy, so naturally I like Wookiees.  Next up in our reviews is the Wookiee chieftain, Merumeru.

The blokes across the pond have a list of rumored upcoming Black Series, Mission Series, Saga Legends and Class II product which adds further confirmation to Jedi Temple Archive’s assortment rumor from a few days ago.  It also includes a few previously unreported Black Series figures.  I would say I’m excited about the new announcements, but rehashes of core characters is exactly what is tiring me of this line.

The Boutros77 dioramas on Flickr have taken the community by storm.  Many of the collecting sites are abuzz with excitement over his excellent workmanship. He let us know that he has set up this contact page where he can be reached if you would like to commission him for a diorama project.

JJ Abrams was asked about the use of 3D for Episode VII among other questions.  While he doesn’t actually answer the question in typical Abrams fashion, he sure seem hint that plastic glasses may be part of the experience.

To kick of your Monday morning, we review the latest Stormtrooper indignity foist onto the collecting community by Hasbro.

After a LONG hiatus during the holidays we return to what totally normal adult men do in their spare time:  take pictures of toys.  We jump back into the fray with Vizam.  Why?  I WAS DYING TO OPEN THE FIGURE!  It’s been torture having not opened a Star Wars toy in months.

From heroes in white armor to Chewbacca and Boba Fett.  I also appears they are going to start employing a relative scale for the characters.

Thank you to Trooper31 for bringing this to our attention.
