The first wave of the new The Clone Wars line continues to be added to our Research Droids Reviews database and we look at another jaw-dropping figure. You likely may be sick and tired of all the multicolored Mandalorians (thanks to those debacle Madalorians exclusive Entertainment Earth sets, but Pre Vizsla is in a class of his own.

Our thanks to Hasbro and Hunter PR for providing us with this sample.

Our friends at Rebelscum.com have gotten their hands on the first image of The Vintage Collection's ROTS Clone Commander Cody (chase version). While it looks amazing, there are quite a few confusing images on the back of the card and we aren't entirely sure what Hasbro is doing here (pretty much at all) because The Saga Collection and the Revenge Of The Sith lines should definitely not serve as the "vintage" references for these characters. Aren't these "first time available on vintage packaging figures"?? We tried to pay attention with the Back To The Future logic, but this takes it to a whole new level. The original (vintage) card back is actually the future card back. Oh well, before we totally confuse you, just take a look for yourself!

Hasbro just released the latest answers to our questions... Click here for all the details!

Today Research Droids Reviews adds the very first figure from the brand new The Clone Wars "Shadow Of The Dark Side" line into our database. Aura Sing is up first and you will be thrilled to know that she is an example of Hasbro's finest work again! We just hope that the realistic style of her gets the same treatment!

Why did Hasbro totally lead us on with the Bespin Cloud Car? Constantly standing their ground that this vehicle wasn't iconic enough to build from scratch and that the vintage version could still be found on eBay for less than what they could make it for, it truly is the surprise vehicle of the year, and one that we wanted desperately!

Toys R Us is running a Buy One Get One 50% off special....again! All Star Wars except for LEGO is included and this should last through July 17th or until Toys R Us feels they have met their quota. To our complete shock, the pegs were stuffed to the gills with new The Clone Wars and Saga Legends product, leading us to believe that no one seems to know what is going on any more. The Vintage Collection has pretty much sold through, but you may be able to stuff your collections with some repacked product in the meantime.

4-LOM finishes off the first wave of our Research Droids Reviews for The Vintage Collection! While you may consider 4-LOM a straight repack, you would be mostly correct. But there are some variances from the 2007 figure however. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

It was only an educated guess yesterday (our initial report here), but we were right! Sideshow Collectibles has just announced a C-3PO life size bust! You'll just have to check it out for yourself to see how awesome it is!

It's a Jabba-sized edition of this week's Brian's Toys newsletter! The Jabba the Hutt & Leia diorama is now available.  It's the perfect example of how not to perform the Heimlich maneuver and save the galaxy all at the same time.

Brand-New-Kubricks! Yes, it's a completely new set of Kubricks where each one contains a piece to build Jabab the Hutt and his throne.

Also, take a look at the awesome 19" Galactus available for pre-order. It's huge and comes paired with a regular figure-sized Silver Surfer. Caution: May devour your planet.

Third (actually fourth) time is the charm apparently! Research Droids Reviews is in awe over how accurately Hasbro got the Evolutions Boba Fett figure with its latest release in The Vintage Collection! This is indeed the best Boba Fett yet (if you can overlook the removable helmet that is) to date. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

Sideshow has been torturing fans every day with their daily Comic Con event with "hard to see" images. Today, it appears that they may be soon breaking their silence on a C-3PO product. But we could definitely be way off base here as "gold" is not strictly relegated to C-3PO. We hope we're not wrong, but it is interesting to say the least. Premium Format, 12" figure, whatever Sideshow, just please give us C-3PO already!

Wow! We now have two vintage-styled Darth Vader figurers and we suspect there will be a few more before The Vintage Collection is all said and done. Research Droids Reviews looks at a figure that should have been the original version of 2008's TLC Darth Vader (BD 8) but got delayed until now. And sadly, the final results just weren't worth the wait unfortunately. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

See-Threepio (C-3PO) from The Vintage Collection is an unfortunate step backwards in the wonderful first wave of figures. Clearly inspired from some offscreen scene in Tartakovsky's Clone Wars Volume 2 when Padmé gives Threepio a gold plated body as a gift for Anakin, he just doesn't deliver satisfying results. Research Droids Reviews looks at this much-too-short droid and discovers it isn't the best fit as a candidate in The Vintage Collection or really as an action figure in general.

It's been a while, but the last time we raved about a figure to extreme degrees was The Clone Wars Luminara Unduli, and we need to make an even bigger stink about the new The Vintage Collection Dengar. If you have little to no interest in picking this up, you are sadly mistaken. Dengar is absolutely one of the best action figures Hasbro has ever made and it would be a travesty to pass on him. If you need some prodding, be sure to check out our thoughts on him in our Research Droids Reviews and we bet he will be all you think about until you pick him up!

It's all about The Empire Strikes Back when it comes to the first wave of The Vintage Collection and Research Droids Reviews looks at a figure which you might think is a background character but had more lines than many of the other more "popular" characters. Finally getting super-artiuclated status, Dack (Dak) Ralter is a very exciting addition to The Vintage Collection and you'll need him to outfit the new Luke Skywalker's Snowspeeder just released too.

We must admit that it drives us utterly insane when we cannot locate a character in a Star Wars film that somewhere in urban legend is said to definitely be there, whether blatant or obscure. But one droid character that has been a big burden on our search to find him is the Build A Droid R5-C7 from the Return Of The Jedi wave released in 2009's Legacy Collection. But thanks to much googling on the web, we found a great site which gives some great reference shots of this droid as well as many other astromech droids in the various Star Wars films. We suggest clicking through for a very cool summary (and proof that R5-C7 is in Episode II)!

Sideshow Collectibles has just posted the July 5th edition of "Ask Sideshow". You know what to do!

It's all about The Empire Strikes Back when it comes to the first wave of The Vintage Collection and today's Research Droids Reviews entry focuses on a generic pilot who was a favorite back in the original vintage line. While it's hard to confirm exactly how his uniform looks based on what we see in Episode V, there is no denying that Hasbro made one heck of an awesome action figure out of the concept art drawings!

Would you believe that The Vintage Collection Dengar is probably the best action figure yet to come from Hasbro? (Wow, that was bold of us!) We won't even waste our breath trying to sell our case here, so click through to check out today's Research Droids Reviews entry as we discuss at length why Dengar may just be the new "example" by which all future action figures will (or at least should) follow. Don't judge him by his popularity, judge him for what he brings to the line as an action figure only and we can guarantee that you'll be more than impressed.

...until August 6th we bet. We just had to laugh when we experienced the latest insanity today at TRU. This particular location (which will remain nameless) told us that they couldn't get out The Vintage Collection until August 6th, yet they had seven (7) cases of the new The Clone Wars lineup on top of the shelving where the Star Wars figures were hanging (and even had some on the shelf for sale no less)! One thing is for sure and that's something went awry at the corporate office of TRU....again! Click through for the proof.

Have you been waiting for an upgrade to General Veers? Well, you're going to have to wait a little bit longer then. Research Droids Reviews continues its look at some of the new figures in The Vintage Collection and today's entry focuses on a great "generic" figure, but it's one that may leave you wishing for just a tad more.

It's time to look at the third major hero from The Empire Strikes Back, but in an outfit that probably saw less screen time than Lando Calrissian in his smuggler outfit. Research Droids Reviews continues its look at some of the new figures in The Vintage Collection and the latest is a figure that will presently surprise you and one that is a "first" and opens the door to a new concept in the line.

We came across a nice selection of clearance at TARGET in Horseheads, NY. It is not known how widespread this is because we're not currently in the Philly area to confirm if it's the same there as well. But we found plenty of Y-wing Bombers vehicles for $45 and change and the mid-size vehicle assortment rang up for $16 and change. But perhaps the most amazing find was the second series of Stack 'ems (the keychains) that rang up for a mere $.99 at the register. We never even found these locally (or ever at retail) so that was a nice surprise. Sorry, no photo proof available. You'll have to trust us on this one.

And it looks like we have another report of The Vintage Collection figures being found in Lawrenceville, NJ (near Princeton) at another Toys R Us store. (And yet we are also still hearing of store reports that some stores won't be putting these out until August 6th.) It's utterly maddening!

Some of us at JTA are vacationing in Watkins Glen, NY (and elsewhere) for the fourth of July. So we pulled over to find a Dunkin' Donuts with WiFi to report this news. We found the one and only Toys R Us store in a big mile radius and there sitting on the shelves were the latest The Vintage Collection, Saga Legends and The Clone Wars figures. And we have been informed that they are hitting the Philadelphia area pretty hard too. These are still slipping out folks. Keep hunting! By the way, we talked with a store manager who said that these figures are NOT on any active product hold list for the 6th of August despite what the box says. Whether he was misinformed is not known, but we found it interesting to say the least!

Well, so much for street dates! The Vintage Collection has escaped early and has been found almost 1.5 months in advance throughout the country.
