Star Wars: The Best of 2004

We posted this last week but since it was New Year Eve, we figured it was a good time to give it a second look: From: The Official Site

 

There are many different types of Star Wars fans and 2004 had something for just about every one of them. Whether having grown up wearing Star Wars Underoos as a Child of the '70s, or introduced to the saga by the prequel trilogy; whether an avid reader of the Expanded Universe, or a video gamer looking to experience galactic action firsthand -- the past twelve months have amounted to a big year for fans of the Force.

Celebration III: Star Wars Costumes !
From: The Official Site

Fans who enjoy creating and wearing Star Wars costumes -- and we know there are a few -- will have two opportunities to display their talent on stage at Celebration III. The tremendous response for the costume contest at Celebration II in 2002 proved that one show is not enough for all the Star Wars fans who make great costumes and want to show them off. Costumers who want to be judged on craftsmanship alone can enter the Star Wars Costume Pageant, which will focus purely on construction and costuming excellence. Entrants will strut for the judges and show off their sewing talent without the added burden of creating a performance. Categories planned include Star Wars heroes, villains, "The Outer Rim" (anything else), and kids.

Celebration III: That's No Moon... It's a Diorama!
From: The Official Site

One of the great locations at Star Wars Celebration II was the Diorama Builders' room, a place where fans of all ages could go and get their hands dirty building their very own section of Mos Eisley spaceport. Frank D'Iorio, who organized the effort, worked with friends and sponsors to offer the projects free of charge for everyone, and builders could take home their section of the diorama when the show was over. D'Iorio will be back for Celebration III, this time to help fans build something completely different -- a diorama of the Empire's mighty Death Star. Thanks to support from Gen Con LLC, the company that manages Celebration III in cooperation with Lucasfilm, and to D'Iorio's hard work and great ideas, diorama building will again be free for fans. The Diorama Builders' area is planned for the Fan Fair Exhibit Hall. Fans can build their own section, and add it to a large diorama of the Death Star that will be assembled throughout the show.

POTC Cantina Wave Found!

Several People wrote in to let us know that they have found the new cantina wave figures hitting the pegs at KB Toys stores as well as KMart and TRU this weekend.  It also appears that KB Toys has followed the trend of price increase on basic Star Wars figures, along with Toys R Us and Wal Mart, since the figures were priced at $7.99 each.  Most KB Toys stores are running a promotion of 20% everything in their stores so this might help to alleviate the price hike.  Happy hunting and be sure to let us know, and our forum members, what you find.

Here's a look at two new items due out next year from Gentle Giant Studios -- classic trilogy characters reproduced in amazing and authentic detail. By May 2005, Darth Vader will be on everyone's mind as Episode III hits theaters.

 

Gentle Giant commemorates the release with a brand new 14" statue of the Dark Lord of the Sith. This statue stands in scale with the previous statue releases and includes a base. The Limited Edition statue will retail around $200. Wearing helmets appears to run in the family -- Princess Leia adopts a sinister disguise to infiltrate Jabba's Palace, and Gentle Giant has captured her in an all new mini-bust.

[ Next May: Vader & Boushh from Gentle Giant ]

 

The feisty former Senator of Alderaan is depicted wearing her Boushh disguise, and the figure comes with interchangeable heads to switch from helmeted to "revealed" look. The figure stands 6.5 inches tall -- 7.5 inches with staff. It will retail for around $50 next May.

JediJones of the PSWCS Reports in!

The Kmart in Hazleton had a new Star Wars section set up on an aisle 4-way with 4 Vader Voice Changers (sale price $27.99), several lightsabers with Galactic Heroes pack-in figures (sale price $16.99), and a tray full of the first 5 of the post-OTC wave at $6.99. However, they ring up at $6.29 because all Star Wars toys (besides the voice changer and sabers) are 10% off this week. The post-OTC assortment was highly uneven, with about half the tray filled with just Pablo-Jills and the other half containing only about 2 Sly Moores and 2 Rabes with Yarua and Amidala filling out the rest.

 

Kmart also got in a lot more Galactic Heroes this week including about 5 Stormtrooper 2-packs. They have also clearanced priced many other Star Wars items. 12" VOTC are $24 and they have all three. Cantina sets and Talking Yoda are $16. The Falcon is $48. I'm not sure if the 10% discount applies to clearance items but I would assume so.

 

Wal-Mart finally got in the Vader voice changer and had about 10 yesterday for $28.96. Today they were nowhere to be found with an empty space in the aisle where they had been. They have re-stocked VOTC a couple of times this month, and they always sell out, leaving about a peg each of Han, Ben, and Luke behind. There are still only 9 or 10 basic Star Wars figures on the pegs and they haven't restocked any in what seems like almost 2 months. They never got in a single one of the last 10 OTC figures or the Snowtrooper, let alone post-OTC. Unfortunately, the local Kmart never got in any OTC past the first 22 or so except for the Lando/Han/Madine triad. The availability on most of those tail-end OTC has been very disappointing. Most of them besides that triad I have only seen one time at Target or TRU, and not enough copies to find ones on good condition cards with good paint jobs.

 

Thanks for the great report JediJones!

POTC Cantina Wave Found!

Members of the Austin Fan Force have mentioned that they have found the new cantina wave figures hitting the pegs at KB Toys stores.  It also appears that KB Toys has followed the trend of price increase on basic Star Wars figures, along with Toys R Us and Wal Mart, since the figures were priced at $7.99 each.  Most KB Toys stores are running a promotion of 10% everything in their stores so this might help to alleviate the price hike.  Happy hunting and be sure to let us know, and our forum members, what you find.

Clone Wars DVD Now Available!

From StarWarsShop.com:

The Emmy Award-winning and critically acclaimed Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series is coming to DVD next year, and here's a first look at the box art of this action-packed release.

Obi-Wan Kenobi fights a messy battle with an alien bounty hunter; Anakin Skywalker engages in an epic lightsaber duel in the decrepit ruins of Yavin 4; Mace Windu single-handedly takes on an entire droid army -- these are some of the unshakable images of micro-series, enjoyed by viewers of the Cartoon Network as well as members of Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club.

 

All 20 three-minute chapters of the first round of Star Wars: Clone Wars are gathered together in this release. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky with Art Direction by Paul Rudish, the Clone Wars series are a fresh, stylized take on Star Wars that remains true to the spirit of the saga. They chronicle some of the epic battles that occur between Episodes II and III as the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy.

Target Sunday Ad...... But I thought?

Check out the ad below!

 

 

G.I. Joe Brand Manager, Derryl DePriest joins Star Wars team at Hasbro! From joesightings.com:

 

“According to Brian Savage of the G.I. Joe Collectors Club former G.I. Joe Brand Manager and current overseer of G.I. Joe product, Derryl DePriest has accepted a marketing position with Hasbro's Star Wars division, replacing Jeff Popper, who has joined the Nerf team.” In an email Savage said, “Derryl brings his passion for action figures and love of the Star Wars fantasy to his new position. As we finalize our plans for Episode III and look to the future, Derryl will be a valuable addition to the team. And to Jeff, we say thanks for the years of dedication and enthusiasm that you brought to Hasbro's Star Wars line.”

 

It should be interesting to see if and how this affects Hasbro’s Star Wars line.

Reminder for Ray Park chat tomorrow!!

From Star Wars.com:

 

Continuing the series of popular online chats, starwars.com Hyperspace welcomes Ray Park, the performer behind the incredible acrobatic moves of Darth Maul, the Sith Lord featured in Episode I. Skilled in martial arts, Park has studied kick-boxing, Tae Kwon Do, and Wu Shu, honing his agility to become a capable stunt performer. Working under Stunt Coordinator Nick Gillard to develop the incredible lightsaber action for Episode I, Park earned the role of Darth Maul. The laconic Sith warrior with the striking makeup instantly became a fan favorite. Park's other film credits include X-Men, in which he played the evil mutant Toad, and Sleepy Hollow, where he played the terrifying Headless Horseman. Ray Park is scheduled to be online on Friday, December 3rd at 11 a.m. Pacific time (2 p.m. Eastern time). Please note that last-minute scheduling changes may happen, and because hundreds of questions are often submitted, not all can be answered. Ray Park is one of several Star Wars guests attending Gen Con SoCal this weekend. Click here to read about the Star Wars excitement in Anaheim. These chats happen in the Celebrity Chat and Schedule forum, which is accessible only to Hyperspace members.
