Hasbro announces a new line called Star Wars AMP’D. More details to be announced (probably tomorrow), but for now, here is what they've announced:

Watching the auction for the obviously fake carded Yak Face currently running is like witnessing a train wreck in slow motion.

One of the most sought after carded figures in the Original Kenner Collection has found its way to eBay, or so you'd think. Follow this link to check out the carded Power Of The Force Yak Face, and note that the price is the result of bids and not a high starting bid. Unfortunately, it is a fake. At close look it is clearly a custom card. If you are one of the 27 current bidders, retract your bid now!

Poll
George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
Good for you George! You've earned it.
Thank goodness!
I don't see the irony here.
