Hi - Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about some more new arrivals, cool new preorders, and our latest sale.

Greenpeace has done an interesting "part II" to that infamous SuperBowl commercial this past year (that became a household favorite) entitled VW: The Dark Side! It's adorable and to be honest a little too political for our liking, but we think it's worth checking out! Click through to see "Muppet Babies" versions of some of your most favorite Star Wars characters in a very cute commercial!

Our good friend and yours, Dan Curto from Rebelscum.com, came up with what may be one of the greatest April Fools' jokes of all time, a Darth Vader Operation board game. It seems as if his good idea is happening, but in a different light. Click through to read their report on what IS coming!

Many of you have written in and asked about the Resurgence Of The Jedi Luke Skywalker figure and if it would ever be available singly. We have great news to report. eBay seller tunghori has this figure loose for less than $7. Although it will be available again in the commemorative Blu-ray sets, the Resurgence Of The Jedi Battle Packs set has become extinct and it's been very hard to find any fossilized remains of it! Get it now!

Here is our Wednesday recap of the past week's Research Droids Reviews in an effort to let you know which Star Wars products have been added to our database.

Hasbro "promised" us through their most recent Q&A session with Jedi Temple Archives that there should be a good amount of newness in the next wave of 3-pack Special Action Figure sets. New evidence has just shown up and clearly shows what will be included. We do see some "new" stuff thankfully! Click through to check it all out!

We love the principle of the Jedi Vs. Darth Sidious Battle Packs set, but Research Droids Reviews would love to see a modern version with new updated figures and an all-new Chancellor Palpatine in maroon duds. Will we ever get it? Doubtful now, but maybe we can cobble together our own if Hasbro can at least finish up updating the rest of the characters in this set.

Why would Hasbro rerelease the terrible 2005 ROTS III 2 Anakin Skywalker again as a basic figure in the collector-focused The Saga Collection.

The first release of Clone Commander Cody left a lot to be desired, but Research Droids Reviews tries its best to look for the positives in this figure, which are few and far between.

There is a lot of buzz about "wave 8" of The Vintage Collection getting delayed until October this year and as a result leaving us with a very dry summer. But what we don't understand is that people seem to be forgetting that there are two other waves that are due to hit before this said "wave 8" including the Aayla Secura wave (the "true" wave 8) and the Ponda Baba wave (wave 9) (due to hit per Hasbro's Toy Fair slide presentation July/August/September - this info could have certainly changed). Maybe these figures have been pushed to the Fall? Our friends from Yakface.com have this exact question proposed to Hasbro in order to clarify things, but until we hear more, we should probably count on those two other waves hitting through the summer. Ugh! This stuff is so frustrating!

JTA forum member Sugarfly has sent in some information about the status of Saga Legends at Walmart. It seems that no two Walmart stores are handling this assortment consistently, but in LA (Louisiana) multiple Walmarts are still blowing them out for $3.00 a piece. In Philly and some stores we visited in NJ, Saga Legends are full price. Who knows what's really going on anyhow!? Click through for the proof.

We finalize our Militaries of Star Wars updates with a unique offering from Sideshow. The exclusive version of this figure wasn't just a small accessory, but a full environment piece with a hefty price tag attached to it compared with the non-exclusive release. Click below to check out Grand Admiral Thrawn and his full scale Command Chair. You can also read all of the details on this Sidshow offering in our in-depth Research Droids Review!

OK, this one is for the record books. We encountered an unfortunate case of "vandalism" at our local Walmart this morning. Almost every single The Clone Wars figure in stock was torn open (and we imagine subsequently taped back together by a Walmart employee). We checked a few over and couldn't see anything missing from the packaging, but why would someone do this? Is it a disgruntled collector who can't afford the figures any longer? Or is it a Walmart employee trying to tick off collectors? Or maybe it's just a kid with parents who don't love him. We don't know. It's a shame because most of the Barriss Offee wave was there. It never ceases to amaze us that we will be treated to a new retail experience when it comes to Star Wars collecting. We guess we haven't seen it all. It's bad enough the stuff is impossible to find and then when we do find it, it's vandalized? Click through for a large picture.

Research Droids Reviews looks at one of the best army-building Battle Packs sets of all time.

JTA reader Richard Wardlaw points out a needed correction to a mistake that was posted in our RDR on the Holographic Clone Commander Cody action figure in The Saga Collection. We made the mistake of stating that Cody did not appear in full scale holographic form which is not true. During the scene in the Jedi War Room, multiple holographic images of Jedi in addition to Clone Commander Cody are in full scale size rendering the action figure correct. The review has been updated and a new photo has been added as well. Thank you Richard!
