Admiral Yularen, A New Hope poster, free shipping, and VIP sneak peeks May 2 – 4

LEGO Star Wars Sneak Peaks for VIPs

This weekend, they’ve got special deals for on shop.lego.com, including something extra for LEGO VIP members. With any LEGO Star Wars purchase, you’ll get a free mini-figure of Admiral Yularen, who appeared in Episode IV: A New Hope and the Clone Wars animated show.

ThreeA Toys “Stormtrooper” and More up for Pre-Order

3A Toys Tomorrow Kings Lost Warrior

3A Toys has a sales event underway, aptly named, “Do You Remember?” I can remember way back in 2011, when Ashley Wood was pitching his vision for new Star Wars toys from 3A. In an uncharacteristic fashion, their prototypes for Stormtrooper and Boba Fett were straight up renditions of the characters that were devoid of Wood’s unique style. Of course, this was before Hasbro launched the Star Wars Black Series, doing it themselves.

Among the items up for pre-order now are two Stormtroopers, re-envisioned as Tomorrow Kings in the 1/6 scale. They have helmets and blasters reminiscent of Star Wars, but the rest has got the unmistakable 3A style. Additionally, there are a few Popbot 1/6 scale characters and the Robo-Hunter Same Slade from 2000 A.D. in 1/12 scale up for pre-order at Bambaland.

With all the excitement over Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, it’s tough to be sitting at home instead of being on the floor at Star Wars Celebration. Luckily, Sideshow Collectibles has posted shots of their booth in the Anaheim Convention Center.

We’ve swiped a few of them for you here, including some life-size stuff, statues, and some of the McQuarrie concept and new 1/6 scale figures, but there’s a whole lot more in Sideshow Star Wars Celebration 2015 Booth Tour. Enjoy!

Hasbro Reveals Ahsoka Tano for Black Series at Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Rebels hero is first non-film character to join the 6-inch line

Hasbro Reveals Ahsoka Tano at Star Wars Celebration

Hasbro was on site at Star Wars Celebration with an exclusive first-time reveal: the prototype for Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars Rebels in the Star Wars Black Series 6-inch line. We’d previously seen her join the 3.75-inch animated line for the show, but this will be the first time a character from outside the original trilogy and the prequels will be featured in the 6-inch line.

After a relatively scarce showing for the Black Series at Toy Fair, we were expecting some confirmation of Black Series figures for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Not just yet, but perhaps we’ll see something in this regard from Hasbro before Celebration is through. If not, then definitely at San Diego Comic-Con.
