May the Fourth Be With You – Win Jabba the Hutt’s Throne Room from Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Jabba the Hutt plus more Sideshow Han Solo in Carbonite

I should have known Sideshow would be celebrating today – they’ve got a special May the Fourth landing page for Star Wars Day that highlights a free keychain promotion. But before you scoff at such a meager offering that wouldn’t befit even the Rebel scum, they also have a giveaway for all the Sideshow 1/6 scale pieces to recreate Jabba the Hutt’s throne room. It includes Jabba himself, his throne, Bib Fortuna, Princess Leia in her bounty hunter disguise, all of Jabba’s little creaturs including Salacious Crumb, and Han Solo encased in Carbonite – that’s a pretty amazing prize pack.

This is the kind of giveaway that I’d love to win but would ruin me. So far I’ve escaped collecting Star Wars, but if I got a jump start in 1/6 scale like this? Not even Yoda would be able to stop me.

May the Fourth Be With You – Revell and Monogram Star Wars Model Kits at Woot.com

Star Wars Model Kits at Woot

I remember trying to build some model airplanes when I was a kid, and I was pretty horrible at it. There was always extra plastic from where you broke the parts off from the tabs (I didn’t know about sand paper and files back then). I was also horrible at working with decals, and I didn’t have any paint either. As a result, they looked terrible. These Star Wars Model Kits from Revell and Monogram fix two out of three of those problems – they come with full deco already applied to the parts, so you or the lucky kid who you get these for won’t have to deal with decals or paint. As far as the plastic tabs – well, I just told you about sand paper and files, right? Plus, these just snap together, so no messy glue.

There’s six Star Wars models kits still available, all priced at a discounted $7 except for Boba Fett’s Slave 1, which is still a steal at $9. These are the model kits you are looking for.

May the Fourth Be With You – Star Wars Games at 66% Off at Steam

Star Wars at Steam 1 Star Wars at Steam 2

I am learning what a big deal Star Wars Day is, with folks pointing out to me all these great deals. For gaming fans, Steam has got a weekend deal for all of their Star Wars games – two thirds off the games individually, or half off the Star Wars Collection bundle (which still saves over buying them all individually). With each game under $10 and then discounted again, it’s a great deal. I loved Knights of the Old Republic, and with KOTOR 2 at $3.39, I don’t think I can resist the Dark Side any longer.

Weekend Deal

66% off each title in the Star Wars Franchise or 50% off the already low priced bundled collection!

Offer ends Monday at 10am Pacific Time.

May the Fourth Be With You – LEGO Star Wars Deals this Weekend Only, Plus the Arrival of New Red Five X-Wing

Speaking of LEGO, we just got word that they’re running deals on LEGO Star Wars products all weekend in honor of Star Wars Day. For example, the LEGO Star Wars B-Wing will be half off, and many other items will be 10 – 20% off. LEGO is also using May the Fourth to launch its newest exclusive, the LEGO Star Wars Red Five X-Wing. I had the original Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing way back when LEGO first launched the Star Wars brand – that thing was massive, a lot of fun to build, and the new one looks to add new details over the original (here’s a link to a used LEGO UCS X-Wing with a crazy price).

Hasbro Reveals San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett – USAToday.com

And speaking of Star Wars Day, Hasbro has just revealed their SDCC exclusive for the upcoming Star Wars Black Series. It’s fan favorite Boba Fett, with a carbonite-encased Han Solo. Impressive. Most impressive.

Boba Fett figure to debut at Comic-Con, with Solo in tow

Detailed ‘Star Wars’ toy from Hasbro comes packaged with the ultimate accessory: Han Solo in carbonite.

One of the collectible toys that Hasbro will have available exclusively at the pop-culture event this year is a detailed 6-inch Boba Fett action figure from the new Star Wars Black Series. What’s even better is that he comes packaged with two weapons, his iconic jet pack and the ultimate accessory: Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Kids of all ages can relive the moments in the Cloud City of Bespin during The Empire Strikes Back where Boba Fett hauls off his prey, or the scenes in Return of the Jedi where the iconic bounty hunter has taken Solo to Jabba the Hutt’s palace on Tattooine.

The special-edition set is priced at $44.99 and will be sold at the Hasbro booth at the San Diego Convention Center July 18-21.
