Just announced by Morly at RS, the Final Clone Wars Character Key

Quote
So hopefully all the waiting was worthwhile! Roron Corrob gets the call for the final CW key. As you can see in the image, we've not yet decided on the edition size (it might be a lowish one) and there is no pre-sale date yet, but it will be on sale and likely delivered before San Diego Comic-Con, so it shouldn't be TOO long!

-Morly



Man, I like this one.  8)

Time to get ready for the Roron Corrob key, edition size is unknown at this time.

Hey Guys,

OK, so here's the info many of you have been waiting for! The Roron Corrob character key (the final key in the original Clone Wars line) will go up for pre-sale on Monday, June 16th, at noon, PST. Since it has worked so well for us in the past, we will continue to sell the keys at www.CharacterKey.com .

Good luck!

-Morly

Also note:

Forgot to add that we worked out a deal with Andrew's Toyz as thanks for their support: keys #1 through #100 will go to them, so go there if you like low numbers!

-Morly

Personally I am up in the air about this one.  Don't get me wrong it is very cool, but this might be my chance to step out of them.  A little too digital for me I think...

More news on the Yoda key at the ACME Blog.

Quote
It will be an edition of 750 pieces (  I know I know, but hey, it’s better than 500 for Sidious) and will retail for $35.00

As I am sure you are aware with the release of Roron Corobb, we have officially wrapped up the original Clone Wars line (fyi keep a look out for a very very special announcement about this line in the next couple weeks).  This YODA key marks the beginning of a new line of Character Keys for Acme, and I think you will agree that it should be another fun line to collect.

We wanted to start this line the same way our first character key line began, with Yoda, and as a Convention Exclusive.  The upside this time around is that it’s only 1 per customer.  And hey what’s the fun of collecting, if there aren’t a few that are really hard to get?!

We will be putting this one up for Presale to be be picked up at the Show, this should help alleviate the long lines as well as the annoying Exhibitors who like to pounce on exclusives before the regular crowd gets into the freaking show.  Try as they might, SDCC has still not figured out a 100% fool proof method of stopping this.

We will also be releasing a small amount to non attendees on July 24th, first Full Day of SDCC, so for all of you not going- keep that date in mind.

And my final last little tidbit of news…. We will be debuting another STAR WARS Character Key at the Con.

That final tidbit has me interested, I wonder what/who it will be?

I'm bailing on the original CW line and won't go after this line either.  I think I'll maintain the OT line, for now.  I love these little things, but I'm not certain I'll have the space for them.

Yeah, I don't know.  I'm not really a fan of the new animated style.  I think I'm going to try to track down the three CW keys that I'm missing and just stick with the OT keys (and the occasional special key, like Indy).
