Target insider extraordinaire, DathChuckMC, provide the low down on the upcoming Target exclusive Darth Maul Fighter Pod tin.  The tin will be $24.99 and is set to hit the week of 10/7.  The DPCI number is 087-06-1178.

Thanks to DarthChuck as always for the info.

Our weekend image blitz concludes with the Bespin Battle battle pack which captures the participants in the climatic battle at the conclusion of The Empire Strikes Back namely Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and…err..Boba Fett?

Chances are if your in our target demo of 30-something man-children who get seriously ticked off at browsey little kids in the action figure aisle, this battle pack isn’t for you.  It’s a throw back to the POTF2 days with figures that sport five points of articulation and heavier molds, but if you collect them all, you need this.  I kinda like the Luke for what it is.  Check it out.

And here’s the second of the K-Mart exclusive 2 packs, the AT-ST Crew.  Click through to check it out.

Once again, thanks Jim.

And now for something a little more timely, here’s the Ewok Scouts Special Action Figure Set 2 pack that is exclusive to K-Mart.  Click through to check out the pics.

Special thanks to forum moderator, BIGJIM, for saving me several fruitless 45 minute drives to my closest K-Mart.

One of the major downsides to contributing to a web site in your spare time is that work and life sometimes gets in the way.  So while most of you probably already own this item, here’s our Photo Archive entry for the Target exclusive Darth Maul Returns which contains two Clone Wars styled figures and the realistically styled Nightsister (which is a repurposing of the unused Comic Pack Mighella figure).  Click through to check it out.

We need to get this web site to start making money so I can quit my day job!

The Target exclusive Darth Maul Returns Battle Pack has arrived in the Bay State (Massachusetts to you troglodytes), so with the exception of perhaps the upper reaches of Maine, this set appears to have made the coast to coast swing.

The highly anticipated Toys R Us exclusive Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper is here for your viewing pleasure.  Click through to check out this highly worthwhile upgrade.

It’s a good day to be a nerd.  Just yesterday, there were reports of the TRU exclusive Speeder Bike hitting San Diego.  Today I found the new Speeder Bike here in Massachusetts.  Rarely does product make such a rapid eastward procession.  As Obi-Wan Kenobi would say, “that was short”.

All standard apologies for the hastily taken cell phone pic while at work.

A Target exclusive feature length director’s cut of the Darth Maul Returns Clone Wars story arc will be released next Tuesday.  Special thanks to DarthChuckMC for the heads up on this one. 

I think it’s safe to speculate that the reset to release the Darth Maul Returns battlepack will be timed to coincide with the DVD launch. 

If you missed the suicide king Vader t-shirt when it was offered on Shirt Punch, here’s your chance to make up for your foolish mistake.  It is available on othertees.com for $12.  Click through to order yours.

Hasbro makes the occasional yip from the wrong belt with their sandtroopers to incorrect lightsaber hilts.  Our eagle eyed administrator, nomadscout, who frequently forgets we have a front page, spotted a mistake in the distance of the Yavin Pilot backdrop.  As you’re well aware, the battle of Yavin represents the rebels triumph of the FIRST Death Star.  Even though the battle in the background is out of focus to simulate depth of field, that Death Star appears to be a construction site.  Click through to see for yourself.

The overseas Ebay seller, ws_toys, has the highly anticipated Nightsister figure from the upcoming Darth Maul Returns battlepack for sale.  Click through to check it out.

For the next 10 hours or so, teefury.com has a cool t-shirt that subtly combines two of the greatest movies from the greatest decade ever.  Click through to get yours for the price of $10.

If you haven’t picked up your Ewok and Yavin Pilot Packs yet, this holiday weekend may be the time to do it.  Toys R Us is having a Buy One Get One 50% Off sale through Monday on all Star Wars action figure, play sets (hah!) and accessories.

Also, if you want to clear out the same 10 TPM figures I’ve been staring at since January, please be my guest.  If you click the thumbnail below, it embiggens.

Upon viewing our initial SDCC ‘12 Carbon Freeze Chamber photo archive entry, forum member Greg correctly suspected that I was too cheap to open my Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite figure.  Not wanting us to have an incomplete archive, he graciously lent us his open sample.  Click through to check out the added pics of the open Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite.  Thank you, Greg!
