Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a variety of new preorders and more new arrivals!

The good thing about Episode II Yoda and Episode III Yoda is that there aren't too many differences between them. In today's Research Droids Reviews, we look and see how Hasbro transformed and Episode III Yoda into an Episode II Yoda. But the Prequel Yodas from 2005 were in need of an overhaul. That didn't happen until 2010 though. We hope that you'll also leave comments in our new and fun comments section as well as placing your opinion of this item by voting in our poll.

If you haven't checked out our Research Droids Reviews page on the 12" Commander Cody (212th Attack Battalion) figure, what are you waiting for? It's the greatest thing that Sideshow Collectibles has created to date and could already easily be the best figure of the year. This is a figure not to miss! We just cannot believe how expertly they've captured every detail on this Star Wars character in 12" form. You've got to check out this brilliant figure! Check him out!

The ForceCast: Collector's Edition team of James Burns and Dan Curto are back once again this month with the latest announcements from the past few weeks, including updates from eFX, Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya, LEGO, Sideshow, Hasbro and more. Burns and Curto wrap up their coverage of New York's International Toy Fair with special guest Paul Harrison from Jedi Temple Archives, plus reviews of The Vintage Collection Wave 6 and some of the latest figures from The Clone Wars line!

Eagle-eyed collectors noticed on the pre-order for the Commander Bly 12" figure from Sideshow Collectibles that it had the older styled vinyl body glove (as seen on some of the earliest Militaries Of Star Wars line). We spoke with Sideshow Collectibles today and they confirmed that the item in the gallery is just a prototype and that the production figure would have the ribbed cloth body glove they have used on the most recent figures! Thank goodness!

Hasbro set an all-new precedent for Geonosians once they released Sun Fac. This wonderful action figure is excellent in every way and showed that Hasbro raised the bar on what they deemed acceptable for this cool species. See why Research Droids Reviews can't stop raving about this wonderful addition to the basic figure line.

Our Research Droids have been sent more information about possible forthcoming Hasbro product, this time it's for exclusives and figures from the Deluxe line. Take everything with a grain of salt until we hear it from Hasbro themselves, but it should get you a little excited about what may be coming! We, just like you, hope these are true and would like to see them all too. Click through for more!

Before the Geonosis Arena Showdown were even a thought, Hasbro was already giving us great obscure Jedi based on the Battle of Geonosis in The Saga Collection. Research Droids Reviews checks out the very first attempt on Weequay Jedi Sora Bulq. See what a fine job Hasbro did on this very awesome figure.

Wow! Head over to Brian's Toys and see the new Darth Vader (A New Hope) helmet from eFX Collectibles, available for pre-order.  The item is limited edition, and the edition size will be determined by the number of pre-orders placed.  So make sure you get yours in to ensure one in your possession.

New Vintage vehicles, playsets, and beasts AFA have been added to the site.  Also, the Imperial Forces Set AFA 60 has been reduced by a hefty margin!  Snatch it up before someone else does.

See why in some instances it was a better time to be a collector in 2006 than in 2011 by checking out today's Research Droids Reviews entry. The Saga Collection really did have some of the finest collecting moments in it and the [Utapau] Clone Trooper proves this. To date and even including The Vintage Collection, you will NOT find a better action figure representation of the 212th Attack Battalion. Don't believe or agree with us? Then voice your opinion!

We are receiving reports that the Clone Commander Colt/Barriss Offee wave of The Clone Wars line is now being found in California! It's only a matter of time for the rest of us!

The hottest figure of 2006 is the subject of today's Research Droids Reviews and what a difficult figure it was to find at retail indeed! Interestingly, you may not want it today and are holding out for a super-articulated version. Scorch doesn't come with anywhere near the amount of articulation we expect today, but he was a great figure for that era. Check him out!

The Barriss Offee wave still hasn't hit in a widespread fashion in the USA yet If you want Eeth Koth, he's stil available on eBay for you!

Do you want to see another cool vehicle? Research Droids Reviews looks at the repainted Separatist Droid Tri-Fighter. This vehicle is great and we think it's a tad better than the original 2005 release. But why don't you decide?

Here is another quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a huge batch of new preorders and more new arrivals!

Just in case you're not in front of your inbox, Sideshow Collectibles has just emailed early processing notices for the 12" Exclusive Commander Cody figure. This item arrived early in their warehouse and they're offering to process it early for you if you wish. Details are in the email, but call their customer service department if you have any questions!

Who says Hasbro doesn't give us mid size vehicles based on the films? The Separatist Droid Gunship has yet to be featured in The Clone Wars and to date can only be seen in Revenge Of The Sith. But Research Droids Reviews concludes that while this vehicle is neat, it's not that engaging and we're surprised Hasbro made a toy of it (especially since they make excuses time and again about the OT ones).

As many of us have done, I bumped into some old high school friends on Facebook. One of my friend's son is a major fan of Star Wars (I said Star Wars and NOT The Clone Wars) but he has been unable to find The Vintage Collection Boba Fett in any store. Needless to say I offered to send him my extra one and today I just got a wonderful thank you note that I had to share with our readers. There is a moral to this story. Random acts of kindness are food for the soul. I may have received the actual thank you note, but it was I who was given a special gift. Click through for more.
