Images at Yakface while they last...  pulled from a UK online shop that has already taken the page down it seems.

Not a surprise to see this in toy form...  still think it's funny that Han, Cassian, and Poe all seem to shop at the same clothing store.

Also - no NERF? I didn't hate the nerf the way some did, but I won't miss it if it's gone.

The rumors of the return of a commtech style chip reader are apparently true.

The Last Jedi packaging products revealed at SDCC have a "Force Link" call out ("Wear Force Link to activate sounds") on them.  Look for more details from Hasbro soon...

SDCC kicks off tomorrow night... wonder just how much they will be able to tease/show leading up to Force Friday II?  Here are the panel details...

Love the fake aged/distressed box.  It would be amazing if they tried something like this for the Sears Cantina Set.

The Vintage Collection is coming back in Spring 2018 and Hasbro is looking to the fans to help select a character to join it!  The first round of voting kicks off today and runs through Wednesday, April 19th.

To Vote at JediDefender:
Send an email to jsmentek@jedidefender.com with 2017 Hasbro Fan Figure Vote in the subject line and your character selection and your full name (first and last) in the body of the email.  Limit ONE (1) character vote per email address.  Fraudulent votes will be discarded.  Voting will close on 11:38pm ET on Wednesday, April 19th.

Any characters from the Star Wars Rebels or Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series will be sculpted in the realistic style (like the current Black Series lines).

The results of the first round will be tabulated and sent to Hasbro on Friday, April 21st.  The top 6 picks from each site will be used to create the entrants of a final poll at StarWars.com, which will take place April 26th through April 30th. The winner will be announced at a later date.

Please visit Star Wars.com for the full list of fan sites participating in Round One.


Finally, feel free to use this thread to lobby for your choice – you’ve got a few days to vote, so think it over and debate amongst your friends here at JD.  This is a great chance for us to get a long time JediDefender Wishlist figure (like Cliegg Lars, Sim Aloo, Tonnkia Sisters, etc) and it would be shame to waste it on some one-off video game character or yet ANOTHER Mara Jade figure when there are so many deserving obscure OT characters to chose! 

Rumors of a SDCC Landspeeder are tru, but it's not in a Vintage Kenner box as speculated... 

This version has a better deco (more weathering) and engine parts -
