Jedi Temple Archives has a report of 4 Vintage Collection figures who are rumored to be returning in the Black Series. Head over to check their report.
If this turns out to be true, I have to praise Hasbro for this decision. A while back, we called (via a submission to Jedi Temple Archives) for Hasbro to pay closer attention to the secondary market when selecting their re-releases. All too often Hasbro will re-release a figure that goes for less than the current MSRP on the secondary market. All four of these rumored candidates command a premium on the secondary market so making them available at retail again will actually present VALUE to the customer! One of them in particular can command a 10x premium.
My friend Paul Harrison form Jedi Temple Archives has penned an articulate, well thought out and thought provoking article on the tenuous status of the action figure industry and in specific, our beloved Star Wars collector line.
Please go there to read his article and leave your comments.

While I normally hate New Year’s Day as it ends the holiday season, which for me stars with Halloween, I can find some upside to the start of 2014. We’re one year closer to a new Star Wars movie. Happy New Year, everyone.
The Official Site has an exclusive first look reveal of the Imperial Inquisitor figure.
We don’t know if this is nationwide or not, but the usual post-Christmas clearance has netted a surprising inclusion this year. This could be good news or bad news. Click through for our uniformed analysis.

Our own Big Time Timmy Jim alerts us that the Toys R Us Battle of Geonois 4-packs are marked down to a paltry $22.49 and qualify for Buy One Get One 50% Off. No too shabby.
Instagram is apparently a thing. And LucasFilm launched their official Instagram page with a selfie of Darth Vader.
