Take a look at what's been hitting the shelves the past few weeks across the US.
The fourth wave of
The Saga Collection has been spotted featuring characters from the
Battle of Coruscant, as well as a few from the
Battle of Utapau. Also beginning with this wave, the 10 "Bounty Hunt" variant figures from the UGH promotion are starting to appear. These are limited editions, so if you see them, grab them. It should be noted that the figures themselves are not different in any way from the normal release, so if you're a loose collector, you can safely skip the UGH variants.
Over in the
Galactic Heroes, wave 2 is out, which consists of repainted figures from the past, going all the way back to the 2002 Playskool sets. The most popular set seems to be the Emperor and Shocktrooper...but then, all clones never stay on the shelves for very long.
Over in the
Star Wars Transformers line, the next batch has been released, including Darth Maul, Anakin Skywalker, and Boba Fett.
Then there's
Titanium Series...the Ultra vehicle Snowspeeder and
Slave I are out, and we're up to the third (or is it fourth?) wave of the die-cast vehicles. So far we've seen the following variants: a white TIE Fighter, a
Clone Wars style Gunship (with two different packaging designs - facing up and facing down), and the latest...a silver
Slave I with the UGH logo on it. The rest of the ships are normal versions, except there's been reports of two packaging versions of the
Millennium Falcon and a mistake on the Naboo Royal Starship.
All 4 verisons of the
Forged Figures (or whatever they're called) are now out. This includes Boba Fett and Darth Vader with normal and "Vintage finish" (AKA Patina finish) and some pretty cool packaging.
Finally, just in time for Easter, look for an Easter Egg Decorating Kit to spice up your holiday in
Star Wars style.
