We’re usually pretty fun loving and free around here, but every now and then, something comes up that makes us go, ‘whoa.’

Forum member Apailana has brought a serious disease to the attention of everyone on the Bantha Skull boards.  See, Apailana suffers from the very unknown disease called Lupus.  There are many forms of the disease, but all are a chronic auto-immune disease that attack all parts of the body.  Apailana has linked to a site that you can make a donation to in order to show your support of this disease that is practically unknown.  Head on in to the boards to check out her thread on what it’s all about.

Do we have a new obscure imperial character ready for action figure form? Yes we do! Let’s give him the IMG treatment!
Do we have the first picture of a new figure to show? - f’n yes we do!

(Bantha Skull Hasbro Q&A 2009 #4)

BanthaSkull’s questions for Hasbro are due this Friday 4/10 so feel free to post them in the QUESTION SUBMISSIONS THREAD.

Also, we recently tried something a little different here at BanthaSkull because after all we are a very “different” group (some even say special). So for anyone curious about the questions aready submitted that will be answered by Hasbro this Friday, you can check out THIS THREAD and speculate, complain, or whatever.

Forum member CaptainAlex stumbled across this nifty little gem on eBay and was able to win the auction.  He has post a review of the press kit that was sent out to media outlets for the release of The Clone Wars animated show on The Cartoon Network.

Check out his review here.

Now might be the time to head to TRU! March 22nd - 28th vehicles and battlepacks are $14.99 each. Of course check your local ad before taking a trip. For those ambitious folks, try bringing the ad to Wal-Mart for price matching. At $25.00 a vehicle, this is a great price!

Thanks to longtime forum member Julian57 who found some great Hi-Res pics of figures from Clone Wars Waves 3,4, and 5 on a Mexican collecting website called The Plastic League .  Check out the goodness by clicking the thumbnail, then head on over to our forums to discuss your thoughts!
