They're coming in too
fast!
The collecting community has been watching the progress of new Star Wars collectibles
licensee eFX with great interest, and we were rewarded this week with the announcement
of the first product from eFX--a full scale Stormtrooper helmet. Given how sought
after the Master Replicas version of this helmet is, and with only 500 being released
by eFX, this is sure to be a very hot seller. eFX CEO Bryan Ono sat down with us
this week to talk about the Stormtrooper helmet, what's the same as the MR version,
what's different, and how both domestic and international collectors can get their
hands on it...

They did it for Episode
I, they did it for Episode II, they did it for Episode III, they do it for every

movie on August 15, 2008 and the Star Wars Action News team have started their own
lines. In New York, Dallas, Cincinatti, Mesa, AZ, and Springfield, IL Star Wars Action
News staff have broken out their tents, sleeping bags, cellphones and laptops to
begin the four and a half month wait for Clone Wars to open.
