Tag Archives: Convention Exclusives

Star Wars Celebration might have been canceled this year, but it looks like some of the planned exclusives are still going forward. StarWars.com gives us a look at some of the exclusives (soon to be available) from Diamond Select Toys, Kotobukiya, and more. Click here for the full article.

Also of note, you can now visit (and order from) the Star Wars Celebration store featuring what would have been available in Anaheim this past week. 

Every now and then I ask myself if collecting something, anything really, is still fun or if something has become too much work. In a perfect and ideal world a company such as Hasbro would make sure that anyone who wants to buy something gets the chance to do so – by either simply walking into a store and finding things on shelves and pegs, or by going online and buying from Amazon, Entertainment Earth, Dorkside Toys or any other etailer. But reality is different. The “exclusive” figure or set has become a staple of collecting, exclusives are no longer the exception, but have become the norm. And scarcity seems to be a concept companies like Hasbro or Funko (and not just them) seem to like a lot. Why? Click through for some thoughts about collecting!
