You saw from our previous report that I found wave 13 of The Vintage Collection, the version with the carry forward wave 7 figures. And you also saw JediDefender.com's report on the updated Logray and our report on the updated Rebel Fleet Trooper. But it doesn't end there. Both Han Solo (Bespin Outfit) and Barriss Offee (Jedi Padawan) have minor but noticeable updates as well. If you're interested, click through to read the breakdown on these updates.

Found! I found wave 4 (wave 13) of The Vintage Collection on the shelves at my local Philly Kmart. This was the revision with the wave 7 carry forward figures and the Gamorrean Guard. Guess which figure was already picked from the pegs before I got there? Click through to see a portion of my find and expect more new RDRs soon this week.

One of the most appreciated figures from Hasbro was 2006's TSC Clone Trooper 442nd Siege Battalion. It ended up being one of the finest figures in the entire line. It's popularity has remained strong even today and now Sideshow Collectibles has developed their own 1:6 Scale 442nd Siege Battalion Clone Trooper. It's awesome.

JTA would like to welcome two new staff members to our team! As luck would have it they are both named Matthew, so try to keep up :-)

Matthew Ruch has been very active in our comments section and is ready to take the next step and be more involved by giving back to the Star Wars community. He will be coming on board as a full staff member once we get him up to speed!

Matthew Frey will be starting off as a content contributor providing some entertaining and enlightening editorials. For those that didn't pay attention, he also wrote the cool interview with JTA a short time ago and now wants to get more involved with the Star Wars collecting community, so he asked us how he could help out! He'll still be writing over at his blog for all other things toy related, so make sure to stop by The Toy Box for his views on all things non-Star Wars!

You saw the report from JediDefender.com yesterday that the 2012 version of Logray has changed. Now JTA reader Kurt sends us pictures that the Rebel Fleet Trooper is now also different. While these differences seem to be small and really have more with action figures being produced at two different times, we can't help but notice that they do seem to enhance the figures for the better.

OK, this is another "what the heck" moment with Hasbro. I don't understand the reason behind changing Kithaba's bandana to bright red from the original brown version, other than to match the "composite" image on the card front. While I still see a smidgen of reddish color in the bandana in the film stills (you can see them too by clicking through), there is no way one can say that his pants match his bandana like the newly "corrected" Hasbro version does. I don't know about you, but I will be hunting after brown versions! It's mind blowing to me that they would exert the energy to "fix" this and NOT the glaring yellow ball-jointed elbows. But what do I know? In perfect timing, we also review Kithaba (Skiff Guard) in our Research Droids Reviews today. Check it out and see if you can find a spoof to an even bigger film than Star Wars in the gallery! Leave your own thoughts in our comments!

Kenner confused the collecting community with the vintage Barada figure. But we didn't know we were confused until the line started again with The Power Of The Force "2" line. Now Kithaba (Skiff Guard) [mostly] clears the air, but is the vintage figure truly updated now? That answrers lies between yes and no. Do you want to see what we're talking about here? Then check in with our Research Droids Reviews and see what you can take away from it.

I hope our foreign readers are tuning into JTA today. We love our fellow Canadian brethen in North America, but they've for years had horrible distribution (yes, even worse than the USA) and have paid an arm and a leg for their figures. Well, there is relief in sight! JTA Candian reader Mike M. writes in with a fantastic report. Click through for more!

Back in August 2011, I reported a noticeable running change on The Vintage Collection Logray (Ewok Medicine Man) figure. You can see that report HERE. But there is another update. It seems as if Hasbro may have tweaked the figure further by removing the face "line markings" completely. Could this version be part the reissued wave now showing up in 2012? JediDefender.com has a new update on this figure, so click HERE to check it out!

UPDATE: Jesse from JediDefender.com emailed me to confirm that the "unlined" Logray is definitely from the new case assortments! We have a new variation to find folks! Thanks Jesse!

For those of you still despairing about the Deleted Scenes wave, please know that we are constantly getting store reports that it is still showing up at Walmart. Those who haven't been lucky may get irritated by reports like these, but this wave isn't as rare as you may believe. Special thank to JTA reader BaileyMe for our latest report!

You just saw our recent Research Droids Review on the rare version of Meena Tills. Surprisingly it has just made a cameo appearance on eBay. The price is much too expensive for our taste, even though it's one of the rarest figures out there. But try emailing the seller and see if you can get a deal in these troubling times! Check it out!

The definitive update to Dr. Evazan was a long time coming, but he's finally here. See in our Research Droids Reviews why this is an absolute must-have. The Vintage Collection, if you can find it, is absolutely the best Star Wars basic figure line of all time. And if you don't get misty-eyed looking at this figure, you're just dead inside.

Our friends at Yakface.com first reported about a Kithaba variation and a Dr. Evazan variation. Check out their respective reports. Now, longtime reader and friend of JTA Babylon just sent us word there is a TVC 56 Kithaba variant with a RED bandana on eBay! Click here for additional proof as this figure is currently available from a reputable seller on eBay in case you want to secure one for your collection.

Sideshow Collectibles has added the 1:6 scale Commander Neyo figure to their production blog. Pre-Ordering begins with the launch of the Sideshow Newsletter on Thursday, April 26th, 2012, which is usually published between 2PM and 3PM (PST). The Exclusive Commander Neyo Figure will include a 91st Reconnaissance Corps’ Display base. The Regular Edition includes a standard Star Wars base. Both will be priced at $134.99. For more photos click here.

While reminiscing where we all were yesterday 10 years ago, my memory was jogged about a variation we were looking for that actually never existed. Remember Dexter Jettster and how his insert card had a sticker covering the word "pipe" because it wasn't included with the figure. But this pipe exists in prototype form on eBay. Dexter Jettster was originally to come with a pipe, but George Lucas is against smoking (this is a fact) and as a result, Lucasfilm, Ltd. gave Hasbro two thumbs down about approving the accessory. Check it out! This is a cool prototype!

Brian's Toys has some outstanding deals going on! TVC Wave 12 (Wave 3 2012) of 8 figures is in stock at $99.99. TVC Wedge Antilles has been marked down to $19.99 and Deleted Scenes Luke Lighstaber Construction to $11.99! Don't forget Brian's is also offering TWO special discounts. These are not combinable so choose which offer best suits your needs. Click through for more details!

Bittersweet may be the most fitting word to describe the new Luke Skywalker (Hoth Outfit) figure from The Vintage Collection. It's so good, then so bad, almost equally.

Hasbro still makes us hardcore collectors wait for that gray-outfitted Imperial commander while still claiming that the Imperial Navy Commander is intended to be the modern replacement for the 1979 Kenner vintage figure.

Today unbelievably marks the 10th anniversary of when the 2002 Star Wars "Saga" line made its debut at retail! Following in the footsteps of the Power Of The Jedi line, this all-encompassing line didn't necessarily play favorites with toys and action figures based solely on the Attack Of The Clones film it was intended to promote, but yet the entire Star Wars saga. We'd love for you to go back in time and recall your experiences when this line becamse available to us. Were you there on day one (April 23, 2002)? How much product was available to you? What did you buy? What did you miss? What were your thoughts on the "real scan" technology that Hasbro bragged about using on the basic figure line? Any and all topics are eligible for discussion. We, along with our friends from Yakface.com are making this a point of discussion today. Just click through and post away in our easy and fun comments module or click HERE to post your thoughts in Yakface.com's discussion as well!

We can barely stand what's happening outside of The Vintage Collection for Star Wars toys. Hasbro brings back 1997 technology (actually a revised and better version of it) to 2012 so collectors can proudly own a Qui-Gon Jinn figure where he never lets go out his lightsaber and can only wield it up and down.

You're probably very aware how difficult wave 12 (the seventh wave in the red line look) of The Clone Wars line was to find at retail. In fact, there have only been five figures to date since 1995 I haven't found in stores and this wave comprises three of those. (Thankfully both Clone Commander Stone and Anakin Skywalker [Cold Weather Gear] were carried forward into the final wave of that line look.) But we have a mind-boggling foreign story for you to read about these figures. Would you believe that they figures are beginning to hit El Salvador?! Could it mean that there is indeed a supply in some warehouse in America that could make its way to discount chains? Don't get your hopes up, but this find is beyond interesting!

The Vintage Style Phantom Menace Wave has been reduced to $74.99 over at Brian's Toys. That is a $45 saving that is even better when you find out that it comes in a sealed factory case! Use code SHIPITFREE and get free shipping on this case!

This IS the Darth Vader action figure you've been looking for and just need in general, But this one's a little more special because it is based on his Episode IV likeness/appearance. A non-removable helmet would be reason enough to classify it as such for many old school collectors, but there is so much more to appreciate as well. We won't waste your time any longer here, so please head into our Research Droids Reviews right this second to see one of the greatest action figures ever designed!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been given the green light to reveal one of those “top secret” involvements. I am honored that I will be part of the incredible new The Ultimate Action Figure Collection book written by Steve Sansweet. My involvement includes providing photos for the book as well as consulting on it. I am completely blown away by the experience so far and am so thankful and proud to be involved. Special thanks to Chuck Paskovics for teaching me everything that I know about taking pictures, my awesome pal Dan Curto for dropping my name, and extra special thanks to the man himself, Mr. Steve Sansweet for taking a chance on this rookie and for being a fan of our site. I am forever indebted!

Perish the thought! Say it isn't so! Our friends at BanthaSkull.com have received word that wave 3 of The Vintage Collection has been produced in low quantity! If this holds true, it perhaps is one of the most egregious moves on Hasbro's part yet. Two of the original 12 figures are part of this wave (Darth Vader and Imperial Navy Commander) and should have been packed 2 or 3 per case. While some of the figures will be carried forward the rest of the year, it goes without saying that we just don't understand what is going on at Hasbro any more.

Well, most of us wanted a modern update to this version of Anakin Skywalker. We got an update alright, but not the way he actually came.

I don't believe in serendipity and I don't believe in luck or chance in the sense that it can be willed. (It's all part of the mathematical theory of probability folks.) And probably just like you, I do however believe in the will of the Force (as well as eerily strong coincidences). I have been watching two of our favorite female Jedi in our Research Droids Reviews for about six months now, and both 2011's TCW Barriss Offee and 2009's TCW Luminara Unduli in our "Most Popular" charts and they have somehow found each other and haven't left each others' side since. Just like it should be, Padawan learner doesn't stray too far from Jedi Master. Some things are just meant to stay inseparable, huh? Of course, some things are better left unsaid, so it's quite possible this could all change next month now that I have brought attention to it.

We have another small round of Visual Guide Updates ready to roll out! It's one of the waves everyone has been looking for.

Well, most of us wanted a modern update to this version of Queen Amidala. We got an update alright, but not necessarily the way we wanted.

Vintage fans rejoice! He might not be called Barada, but we finally get the now properly named Kithaba (Skiff Guard) to check another one off of our list! Another fantastic addition to our skiff dioramas (even if Hasbro can't get the ankle joints painted the right color). Check out all the details in our latest Enhanced Visual Guide, and don't fear, we'll have the full breakdown in our Research Droids Review soon enough!

In 2012, it's easy to scoff at the line that reintroduced the collecting community to Star Wars figures. Buff versions of Luke, Han, Boba and Stormtroopers were all the rage. We noticed and criticized their disproportionate frames, but didn't care enough to boycott them and bought them up like there was no tomorrow. We're now approaching almost nearly 20 years since the line was reintroduced in 1995 and believe it or not, there are some products in The Power Of The Force line that are still noteworthy for your collection. We've distilled a list of ten (10) products from The Power Of The Force that you'll want to secure for your collection one way or another because it's likely there will never be an opportunity to get them the same way again. Are you interested? You better be! So please click through to see why you definitely need The Power Of The Force "too" for your awesome Star Wars collection!

Plo Koon is a great action figure from the Revenge Of The Sith line and it is even the basis for better future versions of this character.

I am really becoming exponentially disheartened with the Star Wars line. I am certainly thankful that the Discover The Force figures have become plentiful. But here we are in the middle of April and my selection of Star Wars toys include figures from 1999-2005, an overproduced The Phantom Menace wave of The Vintage Collection and if I am lucky, a smearing of Movie Heroes wave 2. Something's gotta give. This is what every Walmart in my area looks like. Do I really need to wait until FYE or Five Below get TVC figures for $5 each again?

Look at this crazy find I came across at a Philly Walmart. The Battle Packs set was $3.00 and the figures were $.50 each. Obviously this was a return with no receipt situation, but I was happy to make out like a bandit. CRAZY!

eBay juggernaut tunghori has a Bastila Shan available for bid and it's currently very low. Click through to see if you can acquire her for your collection!

Since Hasbro has been hell bent on making 2012 feel like the 90s, we're going to follow suit, but in a much more entertaining way. Do you want to see a really cool blast from the past? JTA reader User897 compiled a YouTube.com video showcasing some pretty cool late 1990s (POTF2) era commercials, including TARGET promotions. Hasbro doesn't need to make commercials anymore. They rely on fan sites like this one for free press. (They know we'll do it for free.) You'll definitely want to check it out. Also, stick closely with JTA because we are also working on a short but sweet Special Report that also involves this neo classic line!

Kit Fisto is absolutely one of our most favorite Jedi, but it's a shame he went so quickly in his battle against Sidious in the Revenge Of The Sith film. This will probably be one of our more controversial reviews. Although Kit Fisto has a superb sculpt, the paint job knocks down the score we give. And where is his soft-goods outer robe, Hasbro?

No, this isn't another rant! I promise! But this post is depressingly entertaining. Click through for JTA reader Paul B.'s recent trip to Walmart.

Agen Kolar was the only Jedi from the Revenge Of The Sith line to come with an outer robe. What the heck? Hasbro must have known that this was their best Jedi so they gave him that extra accessory.

Is there more of a staple Star Wars character than C-3PO? Hasbro made an all-new version of him for the Revenge Of The Sith and it's sort of hung in the basic figure line ever since (sort of).

Hasbro didn't quite treat us to our grey-clad commander, but this is a nice upgrade from past versions. Click below to check it out, and stick close for when we launch our Research Droids Reviews!

Many character from Episode IV actually appear in Episode III, but they tend look a lot younger Tarkin's role in Revenge Of The Sith was more of a cameo, but Hasbro thought it would be wise to include him in the basic figure line. Tarkin is the subject in our Research Droids Reviews today. But we still need a better one See why!

The latest wave of The Vintage Collection is starting to make its way to collector's hands and we have a few of them for our Visual Guides to whet your appetites before we launch our full reviews. First up is Darth Vader, in all his super-posable glory! Click below to check out our Enhanced Visual Guide, and stick close as we prepare our Research Droids Reviews!

Revenge Of The Sith showed us how human Darth Vader became mechanical Darth Vader. And Vader's Medical Droid (also known as a Chopper Droid) probably had the most gruesome task of removing the burnt flesh from his body by quickly picking it away. The Hasbro action figure is better than good, but Research Droids Reviews feels that Hasbro should have used a less pliable plastic to cast it.

Did you know that the red Clone Commander from the Revenge Of The Sith line was supposed to be Commander Bly? Yes, this figure is a concept art figure of Bly and was subsequently made into a character in the Expanded Universe courtesy of Karen Traviss. And she even used a partial anagram of her name to call him Clone Commander Deviss. This figure still looks great in 2012, although Research Droids Reviews points out a few minor inconsistencies from the reference materials that still needs some fixing.

Hasbro revisited the way they made "holographic" figures during the tail end of the Revenge Of The Sith line.

We think it's cool that Hasbro found a way to get the Revenge Of The Sith version of Passel Argente into the 2005 lineup all thanks be to "Repack & Repaint" waves, but did they have to package him dead?

I think the Luke Skywalker (Hoth Outfit) is getting some unnecessary flack. While I do agree that some enhancements are definitley needed, when Luke is outfitted with all of his gear and atop his tauntaun, I feel he couldn't look more movie accurate. Hasbro definitely should have included an alternate portrait with goggles lifted to the brim of his cap, but if they have taught us anything, it's that these Hoth variations come to us in other very cool ways.... like multipacks. (Remember how upset we were with the 2007 VTSC Han Solo (Hoth Outfit) figure?) Good things come to those who wait. Our pals at GalacticHunter.com have an advanced look at Luke. And they have a perfect shot of why this figure is a success. Click through to check it out!

We bet you never thought you'd ever see Cat Miin made into an action figure! But thanks to "Repack & Repaint" waves, obscure characters like this have a fair chance at release.

Not all clone commanders from Hasbro are perfect. They sadly fell short with Commander Bacara from the Revenge Of The Sith line.

Have a pesky Rebel fly problem you'd like to crush with one swift stroke? The TIE Swatter, a new product which incorporates patented Sienar twin-ion technology, targets flying pests with a special sensor array built right into the swatter surface, sounding off with the signature TIE fighter "flyby wail" when tripped. Features unbreakable titanium handle and pliable carbon fiber swatter mesh, which also includes micro solar cells - that's right, it's solar-powered, providing just enough "zap" to finish off the buzzy little buggers.
