 We've just received a couple of S.C.A.L.P. Intel store reports from staff member DarthWormie and Sandtrooper.com's staffer Lt. Starfox, that some Clone Wars items are starting to show up on the shelves. So far they've managed to track down extendable Clone Wars lightsabers at a Kohl's in Massachusetts and a Clone Wars 40 pc. Super Set full of all kinds of back-to-school goodies at a TRU in Kileen, Texas. Be on the lookout for these items at stores in your area, as well as other items that may start showing up soon. Remember to drop us a line with your store reports as more Clone Wars and Legacy merchandise start making its way to stores over the coming weeks. |

 So you're looking for something to do while counting down the days until the Clone Wars movie hits the big screen, eh? Well climb aboard the Sandcrawler my little scavengers and make yourself comfy because the latest round of Q & A with Hasbro is ready-to-roll.

How about getting an all-new version of the boy who was destined to bring balance to the force? For the answers to those juicy questions, make sure you hop into the forums lickity-split. Is there a question you've been wanting to ask the Hasbro Q & A Team? Well now's the time! Simply log-in to the forums and post your question TODAY. |
 Hello again Scavengers. Up on the block today to be showcased is another addition from the collection of our Jawa buddy, Brad Groce. Brad's latest submission is a first shot POTJ R2-D2 mocked up on a blank blue cardback. Stop by and check it out here in the cargo hold. Be sure to keep checking back with us as we get our little paws on more cool pre-production items to share with everyone. |
 The Animated Emperor Maquette is starting to ship from Gentle Giant and their distributors. Here are this first live shots of this newly released item. Gentle Giant says this piece is not from the Clone Wars, but who are they kidding? This has been highly requested by fans of the series. This item is limited to a 2000 edition run. Lowest of any non-exclusive maquette. Is GG trying to find the right target edition size of the Star Wars animated maquette line? Maybe, but at such a small edition size, this maquette might disappear as fast as the Emperor mini bust. This Jawa really enjoys the "glowing eyes" under the hood of Emperor Palpatine. Drop your thoughts about this piece, here in our forums. |
 The expert detective work of fellow staff member Gorkoracing has turned up another first-look at an upcoming Star Wars collectible. It appears the folks over at Previews will be offering up an Exclusive Mighty Muggs version of everyone's favorite fish-eyed Admiral. There's no other information yet on when or where Ackbar will be available, but you can bet as soon as additional details are announced, we'll have them for you right here at The Jawa. |

 The online site ToplessRobot.com takes a somewhat comical look back at toys that tried to cash in on the success of Kenner's (remember them?) revolutionary Star Wars line. The article, which lists their choices for the 10 Most Blatant Star Wars Toy Rip-Offs covers items like action figures, robots and even cases for your Star Wars, er I mean Star WORLDS figures. What prime hunk of collectibility made the top spot on their list? There's only one way to find out. Follow the link and check out the entire laugh-filled article for yourself. |
| Summer is here at last! While you and the family may be packing up the Sandcrawler for a nice long vacation somewhere sandy, the kind folks over at Hasbro have taken some time out from the surf and sand to answer another batch of questions for us. Will we ever get "crispy" Owen and Beru figures? Is there any known cure for a vertically-challenged Spider Droid? What bounty hunter would look good in a soft goods skirt? As always, the answers to these questions can be found inside our cozy, air-conditioned forums. Is there a question you've been dying to ask the Hasbro Q & A Team? Well now's the time! Simply log-in to our forums and post your question TODAY. |
 Hello again Scavengers! I'm pleased to share another addition from the collection of our Jawa buddy, Brad Groce. Keeping in tune with the his other submissions you can probably guess by now what his focus is. That's right, 3P0s and R2-D2s are his main prototype obsession. We're proud to showcase this beauty in the cargo hold today, which is an early Firstshot C-3P0 from last years 30th Anniversary Collection. As always, thanks to Brad for the glimpse into his amazing private collection. Be sure to check out all our latest additions! |
