 After weeks of not finding a single new Star Wars product in stores, I finally found some new items that put a huge smile on my face! The Wal-Mart on Route 59 in Oswego had lots of new figures on their pegs, as I picked up Juno Eclipse, Imperial Jumptrooper, Tri-Droid, Po Nudo, Mustafar Panning Droid, Kashyyyk Trooper, and the Comic 2-pack #14 (Lieutenant Jundland (Luke Skywalker) & Deena Shan). That was an outstanding discovery for me! They also had several new Titanium Vehicles, but all of which were simple re-paints so I passed on those. The Target just across the street had lots of new Bobble Heads (Jawa, Gamorrean Guard, Greedo and more) and Evolution sets (Sith and Jedi), but I passed on the Sith one as I wasn't totally impressed with it. If it were maybe $15 instead of the $20 I would have picked it up, but the paint application on the figures was not done very well. And lastly, my buddy Darth Berger hooked me up with the battle damaged Darth Vader figure and McQuarrie Starkiller, so I'm very thankful for his assistance with those. With that said, it was a very good day for this trooper! United We Find! |
Our Sandwatch Guides are updated with an item that could possibly be the last Star Wars exclusive from Master Replicas. The scaled mini-helmets are going to end before they really get started, seeing as Corgi International canceled the line. The second scaled mini-helmet to hit our guides is Utapau Shadow Trooper that was a Razors Edge Collectibles exclusive but after the first day the run was distributed via Ebay due to a massive server crunch! Thanks again to team Sandtrooper on another mission accomplished. United We Find.
For the first time in my memory, a Jedi-Con Exclusive is available through a U.S. online store. Available now from StarWarsShop.com you can order the Exclusive Shadow Trooper 2 pack that was only previously available in Germany last weekend.

"Hello Troopers, I have some news from Central Texas this morning. At the Wal-Mart in Killeen this morning, I scored the Fan's Choice Saga Legends figures. These include: Utapau Shadow Trooper & black coin, Shadow Stormtrooper & black coin, Covert Ops Clone Trooper & gold coin, Commander Neyo & silver coin and Zev Senesca & silver coin. These were packed 1 to a case with other SAGA Legends figures. Also there this morning were 2 cases of wave 2 with the Force Unleashed figures. That's all for now, Starfox signing out."
We have our latest round of questions from Hasbro in a little early in lieu of the Good Friday holiday. Are any more plans for producing more large scaled vehicles? Do you have any plans to make more interactive 3 3/4 inch Star Wars action figures? Can we please get another wave of vintage figures? Log-in to the forums and check out what they

Our Sandwatch Guides are updated once again with the latest figure from Sideshow Collectibles. Ilum Pamde who won the Fan's Choice Poll has finally made her way to our collection. This figure does a nice job of mixing what we saw in the Clone Wars cartoons with the real life look of Natalie Portman. Find out how she measured up as me and my partner in crime Boba Binks have a
