From Philip Wise reporting fromPre-Toy Fair New York City:
I visited the Master Replicas Pre-Toy Fair showroom in New York this afternoon and was able to get photos of a few new pieces we've been hearing about.
-New items shown were the Obi-Wan and Darth Maul FX sabers. The Darth Maul photographed is two half Mauls that have their end pieces unscrewed and a special connector that attaches them together. Very cool to see it together. The sabers continue to get more durable and I noticed the Obi-Wan was quite a bit louder than sabers have been before. I saw Michael Cookson demonstrating the Obi-Wan to a large group of Japanese buyers who were quite impressed by just how hard he was banging the blade on the floor.
-The Vader helmet in the photos is the first one we've seen that is actually from the plant in China.
-You can see the mini-blasters, Han and a Stormtrooper. They aren't .45 scale replicas, but the Han is in scale to the Stormtrooper blaster.
-The mini-saber is in the photo for scale.
-The studio scale Y-Wing is a freshly hand painted prototype. I love the base it's on.
-The Obi-Wan and Anakin costumes looked great, especially the boots, but as of yet, they are still figuring out how all this costume stuff is going to be sold.
-I threw in a couple of the Master Replicas Marvel items they have just started to show as well.

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.
