Sadntroopers does it again.  They’re first to the street with carded pics of the upcoming 2012 Phantom Menace wave.  Click through to take a look.

So here’s a big pack which is definitely great for the holidays, kids, and new collectors.  The packaging is nifty, and the set features ships and characters from one of the most memorable scenes in the entire Saga.  But is it good for seasoned collectors?  A bit expensive, (although as of this posting, it’s on sale for $20 less and can ring up at $79.99 at Toys R Us), it includes 3 figures you may already have, and 2 ships that may not be different enough for you to warrant a purchase.  Vader’s TIE has barely discernable weathering/paint differences, but the X-Wing has some all new features, and a completely redesigned cockpit.  Click through to get a closer look.

And with this entry the trifecta of Target fall exclusives comes to a close.  Hoth wasn’t every kind to tauntauns.  It makes you wonder why they lived there.  This particular tauntaun, distinguished by a broken left horn,  lasted only a few minutes into the film before becoming Wampa fodder.  Click through to take a look.
