Jedi Insider has scored a pic of the upcoming TCW Republic Gunship, which they report will be a Wal*Mart Exclusive. No telling if the actual toy has the detailed weathering depicted on the box, nor if there might be multiple sticker sheets included to personalize your ship, like the Legacy Collection B-Wing is reported to have. Click the pic to see the full sized version at Jedi Insider….
Once again, Jedi Defender has the scoop. They have carded images of the Star Wars Shop San Diego Comic Con exclusive Clone Senate Security Trooper. Click through for the full story.
Pictures of the AT-AP in Clone Wars packaging appear in this ebay auction. The art work has changed slightly from that TAC packaging. This time one of the Turbo Tanks is clearly visible on the package art. Could that be a little foreshadowing on the part of Hasbro?
This is a sad day for us here at Bantha Skull. Legendary comic George Carlin has died at the age of 71 of heart failure. His comic styling went through many changes in his career, from clean cut and clean spoken, to the pony tailed, filthy mouthed old bastard he became, and we all loved. I myself only got to see him live once, but it was a show I will never for get. We bow our heads today for him, and his family.
Come pay your respects with us in our forums.

Eurobricks.com has some bad ass pictures of the soon to be released Death Star Lego set. This thing is amazing looking. Multiple levels of play area. It encompasses not just ANH, but also ROTJ. It also comes with a scaled down model of Vaders Tie advanced, and 20…yes, TWENTY mini figs, including three different Luke Skywalkers! For all you Lego fanatics out there, this could be the set of the year.
Now only if Hasbro could follow suit and make a nice 3 3/4” Death Star Playset in the same vein…
It was released that only one figure in this photograph is truly in the set, with the other five as simply placeholders. The only figure that no one has a clue who he is, is the bald one with Stormtrooper armor. Banthaskull forum poster Nomadscout speculates that this figure is actually one of the members of a Stormtrooper Squadron in the Legacy comics.
And don’t forget to preorder the set at Entertainment Earth. Follow the link on the left side of our site!
JediDefender.com has another set of new pictures up. This time round it’s the upcoming Homing Spider Droid. Look at the size of that thing! I think Hasbro has some of their sizing issues under wraps.
