2005
Figures on Starwars.com!
From Starwars.com:
NEW Basic Figures for 2005! Many of you saw the fantastic display of new Hasbro Star Wars figures and vehicles at Comic-Con. Among these was the combined two waves of 3.75" basic figures for 2005 – Padmé (in Ceremony dress), Rabé, Pablo Jill, Yarua, and Sly Moore! For those of you that couldn’t make it out to San Diego, here’s a look at these great new figures and a few of the pre-Episode III packages – similar to the black and silver OTC line look, without the OTC logo. Padmé Queen Amidala and the inhabitants of Naboo celebrate their victory over the invading Trade Federation. The Queen wears a decorative parade gown as the jubilant crowd cheers their freedom. The Gungans present Amidala with a Globe of Peace to thank her for her heroic efforts to protect the inhabitants of Naboo. Padme comes with Globe of Peace and base.

Coming Soon: Star Wars: Visionaries!
From StarWars.com:
Some Sith are harder to kill than others, it would seem. Art by Aaron McBride Among the first steps in creating new installments of the Star Wars saga is the exploration undertaken by the Art Department, a tight-knit group of concept artists whose task is to define George Lucas' descriptions of another galaxy into film reality. Their efforts have created several galleries-worth of breathtaking artwork, only a fraction of which ever sees publication.

Dark Horse Comics and the concept artists behind Episode III are teaming to produce a Star Wars graphic novel like no other. Star Wars: Visionaries is a collection of 12 exciting tales told by the artists that helped envision the worlds, creatures, technologies and characters of Revenge of the Sith. This new book features the art of Robert Barnes, Ryan Church, Warren Fu, Alex Jaeger, Sang Jung Lee, Stephan Martiniere, Aaron McBride, Iain McCaig, Michael Murnane, Erik Tiemens, Derek Thompson, and Feng Zhu, and is edited by Jeremy Barlow.
These new stories -- some within continuity, some most definitely not -- will showcase new designs from the artists most responsible for the dazzling imagery in Revenge of the Sith. It is slated for publication April 2005, and weighs in at about 120 pages. More details are on the way. Keep checking starwars.com.
If you are a fan of Lego, now is the time to head over to Lego.com to take advantage of the 50% off sale. Get the Jedi Starfighter for $9.99, X-wing for $14.99, Mini-Sets and more! Check it all out right here!

BBTS AT OTFCC: Pre-Orders for Megazarak and Sentinel Maximus are still available! We'll be leaving in about 6 short hours for our trip to Chicago for OTFCC. For those of you attending - we have a small mountain of product and nearly 1000 different individual items - some in huge quantities and some in single quantities. We've also UPS overnighted a batch of #14 Re-Issue Hounds from Japan and will have them at the convention! Be sure to visit our tables first to pick one up!! (Price not yet determined - we don't know how bad the Overnight shipping fees are yet, but it should be $40 to $45 at the show) Our normal shipment of #14 hound arrives in about a week and we'll fill pre-orders out of that.
