OK, Hasbro. You need a reality check. The current exclusive program is an unmitigated disaster. And you should be held accountable for its ineffectiveness. Unless you’re dead under a rock somewhere, you must know how pre-orders for online exclusives are COMPLETE calamities, right? This nonsense has to stop. (more….)

Full Story

Click below for pre-order links to yesterday’s The Black Series reveals. These are all exclusives, so hopefully, they will fare better than the Target exclusives! 

We will add links as we find them, so keep refreshing if all links are not yet live.

Notes:

• The POTF Red exclusives will also be available at Hasbro Pulse
• Use code SAVEMORE as ShopDisney for tiered savings
• Use code SUMMER20 to save 20% at Walgreens.com
• Walmart is now listed out of stock, but they will likely be back and available, so keep checking

UPDATE: Well, it seems ShopDisney and Walgreens decided not to go by the official pre-order time, so who knows when they will go live (probably after their sitewide promotions end). Hopefully, Walmart will do like it did with their other TBS exclusives and put them back in stock once the dust settles. We will update this article with links when they are finally added.

We’re receiving emails from readers asking us if we’ve sectioned off a place in our RDRs and VGs for the Lucasfilm 50 collection of Hasbro Star Wars action figures. Because the products marked with this logo are from across various lines, the best we could come up with was a search option. If you click HERE or type “Lucasfilm 50” in our RDRs search bar, you’ll be taken to a list of all the products released to date that sport the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary logo. We hope that helps you out for those that are looking for this.

So, are you interested in guessing what Hasbro will be revealing for their I Am Your Father’s Day panel on Wednesday? Will they help me get closer to retirement with more The Ninety Six reveals (help us, Maker, you’re our only hope)? Will we see new Bad Batch 6-inch figures? Or will we see more new releases with that awful Lucasfilm 50th logo on them? Or will it be a whole bunch of nothing? Your thoughts in the comments, please!

We continue our look at the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Expanded Universe figures with our Visual Guide Update of The Black Series Luke Skywalker & Ysalamiri. Click below to check out the full guide page. You can also read our full review of this figure right here.

We’re kicking off a run of Visual Guides featuring the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Expanded Universe Comic sets. First up is Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice). Click below for the full Visual Guide, and also make sure to stop by and check out our full review.

Wow! Look at that shimmery purple lining! We expected Carnor Jax to be the dud of the four Comics And Books figures, but it ended up being our favorite. Oh, and this IS NOT Carnor Jax. It’s Kir Kanos. Do you think Hasbro will issue a running change? (more….)

The 6-inch line gets its first ysalamiri creature with Luke Skywalker. Will you get one to put with Grand Admiral Thrawn? (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 13!

Why did 6-inch collectors get Jaxxon before 3.75-inch collectors? Has the world gone mad? (more….)

We finish up looking at The Black Series [Lucasfilm 50] The Clone Wars Target exclusives. Let’s finish up with one of the best: Anakin Skywalker. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 13!

Today begins Research Droids Reviews Season 13! ARC Trooper Echo wasn’t part of the 2008/2008 The Clone Wars [Blue] line either, but this is a gorgeous figure. (more….)

Up next for the Target exclusive The Black Series Visual Guide updates is Clone Pilot Hawk. Click below to check out this Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary figure commemorating the original The Clone Wars line of figures. You can also read our full review of this figure right here.

Hey, remember when Hawk was released in 2008’s/2009’s The Clone Wars [Blue] line? We don’t either. For one reason or another, this one slipped by Hasbro. The Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary “The Clone Wars” Clone Pilot Hawk is an anachronism of itself, but it’s nice to finally get this character in action figure form after more than a decade. (more….)

Our next addition to the Visual Guide database is the Target exclusive The Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Click below to check out this Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary figure commemorating the original The Clone Wars line of figures. You can also read our full review of this figure right here.

It’s becoming increasingly more frustrating to find anything Star Wars-related merchandise at retail. And while we are constantly bombarded by the pompous defenders that retailer exclusives are a necessary evil for the Star Wars toy line, one has to wonder what the point of all this is when literally nothing is found. (more….)

Wow. There are no other words. Imagine if Hasbro did this for 3.75-inch collectors? The Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary “The Clone Wars” Obi-Wan Kenobi is simply stunning (more….)

The Black Series 6″ Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Greedo isn’t accurate to the on-screen character of Greedo, but it’s not accurate to the vintage Kenner Greedo either! (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 12!

The Black Series 6″ collectors are getting it all. Now Hasbro opened up the old Expanded Universe “comic packs” for them for the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary sub-line. Sigh. Do they even know who these characters are? Let’s look at the shirtless Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice) figure. Rey certainly wouldn’t approve of this figure. (more….)

What reason could there be that Hasbro didn’t tweak the paint operations on this figure to create a unique Battle Droid for The Black Series [Lucasfilm 50] line? Oh well. It’s a Best Buy exclusive.. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 12!

The Black Series [Lucasfilm 50] Mace Windu is another excellent release. The Photo Real looks different this time. It’s a Best Buy exclusive.. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 12!

Did you know The Black Series [Lucasfilm 50] Qui-Gon Jinn has a newly retooled head sculpt? They eliminated the “floating eyeballs” feature and completely repainted the figure. It’s gorgeous. It’s almost sad it’s a Best Buy exclusive.. (more….)
