The Vintage Collection Phase I Clone Trooper figure is a figure that we expected after long last, but it’s so close to perfect that it will make you mad. Why couldn’t Hasbro tweak it a little further? Check out what makes this figure both good and bad. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 15!

It looks like Amazon has followed suit with Walmart and dropped the price of the newest The Vintage Collection R2-D2 release to $9.97. Click here for the product page.

Walmart has listed most of this week’s new pre-orders from The Black Series and The Vintage Collection for much lower than their retail price. They did this with both Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper too, and then raised them back to retail a few days later. If they add the other two TVC figures from The Acolyte we will add them. Take advantage of the lower prices while you can:

• The Vintage Collection Princess Leia Organa – $9.97
• The Vintage Collection R2-D2 – $9.97
• The Black Series Jedi Knight Yord Fandar – $19.97
• The Black Series Padawan Jecki Lon – $19.97
• The Black Series Jedi Master Indara – $19.97
• The Black Series Jedi Master Sol – $19.97
• The Black Series Mae (Assassin) – $19.97
