StarWarsShop.com has a limited number of the LEGO Luke Skywalker Maquettes available right now. If you are still looking for one of these, swing by and pick it up before it is gone!

    Sideshow Collectibles has the new playing cards from Cartamundi now available for preorder. Check out the A New Hope 30th Anniversary Playing Card Deck & the set of three 'Posters, Villains & Heroes' foil decks, each packaged in a nice display box.

    Urban-Collector has some great new collectibles available for Pre-Order now.   Click here for a small sampling of our new Pre-Orders and Arrivals.  Visit Urban-Collector to see our complete list of merchandise.

    Gentle Giant has opened up orders for the exclusive Holographic Darth Maul Light-Up Mini Bust. This is NOT a raffle, this is first come first order, opened to Premier Guild members first, for one week, then to everyone if quantities remain. You must be logged in to see this available. They only have an allotment of 1000, so don't wait if you are thinking about this one!

    Only a few left!  That's right, with these on sale, where most places are selling them for retail, Yoda ROTS FX and Vader ANH FX sabers will be gone very soon!  Don't wait and pay more when you can get them for less! 

Also, still less than retail is the Luke ROTJ V.2 LE Lightsaber.  This is the last lightsaber Master Replicas will do.  It is quite fitting though...MR started with the Luke ROTJ LE and they finished with the Luke ROTJ V.2 LE.  The first Luke is selling for three times the retail price when they were originally for sale, and that lightsaber only had 10 seconds of screen time.  This one is on Luke's belt through out the entire movie, as well on the emperor's chair. There is no telling how much more than retail this one will be in just one year, not to mention five years.

    Check out the latest creations from our pals at ACPin:

Hoth Display - Due to the great feedback on the first MOC that I've done for the LEGO store at Bridgewater Mall in New Jersey, I've been asked to build a new one to replace it. The theme this time is Hoth which many will recognize as a composite of previous scenes that I've done and this will be on for the next month or two. 

Indiana Jones Tank - Since it's very unlikely that the tank would be done for the Indiana Jones sets, I tried to do my version of it based from pics that I found in the book From Star Wars To Indiana Jones. It's also on display at the LEGO store.
