Toy Talk Stampede 12/6/10

clevernamehere — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 13:58:57 +0000

I’m just rounding up various topics of interest into a massive pot of post.

First: Do you see the similarities between Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Bruce Timm’s finest? How bought Teen Titans 2… I mean, Young Justice (after all, all of the fun Titans aren’t in this show). Join the discussion of Young Justice here.

Second: We’ve been discussing the upcoming, impending, and all highly theoretical Super Hero Squad Captain America presence. With his moving coming up, the figures are a guarantee, but who will we get? Toxin points us to an unusual prototype Super Hero Squad Captain America, and continues to feed discussion of who would we might see released in conjunction with the Captain America movie. Toon’s got some pictures of the whole assortment of Captains so far, but you’ll probably need to sign up to see them.

Wrapping things up for today, Think takes us through some great ideas for modifying the recently released Galactic Heroes Senate Commando figure

Galactic Heroes AT-ST No Longer Kohl’s Bound?

Wondering why your Kohl’s still hasn’t stocked a pile on the floor of the Galactic Heroes AT-ST in time for Christmas, while eBay.uk seems to be a source? Jessevader08, he of all things Galactic Heroes, teamed up with the mighty Toon and apparently the AT-ST may (as in might, possibly, could be) an Argos exclusive in the UK, and the US distribution deal may have fallen through. Think brings an always welcome note of caution though. Hopefully official news will be forthcoming!

And while we’re on the subject, the results of his Galactic Heroes Vehicle Wishlist poll have been announced so go check them out!

Toys R Us’s Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale

clevernamehere — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 00:59:30 +0000

If you’ve been in Toys R Us lately, you might have noticed the sale on Super Hero Squad and Star Wars Galactic Heroes sets (buy 2 get one free), but Think noticed something fishy: online, many Galactic Heroes sets are not included in the sale. Instead, they qualify for “free shipping”. The kicker? These “free shipping” sets include many of the new sets, like the Mandalorian set, and the latest Darth Maul. If you’re interested in getting one of these sets, feel free to contact Toys R Us’s customer service number at 1-800-869-7787 and give them a piece of your mind!

clevernamehere — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:29:49 +0000

Rebelscum has two pieces of awesome Galactic Heroes news, which is good because so far 2010 Galactic Heroes news has been pretty slow going!

First, the long awaited Escape from Kamino (aka, Jango Fett’s Slave I) and Attack on the Invisible Hand (aka Anakin’s Episode III Starfighter) have been spotted at a Walmart in Oklahoma! Second, new Galactic Heroes sticker sheets have been found in some sets! Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Clone Trooper are all represented.

Galactic Heroes AT-AT in 2010

clevernamehere — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:24:08 +0000

JesseVader pointed out that the Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been confirmed for 2010! Now it looks like we need to come up with some more questions for the Hasbro Star Wars Q&A… it’s a tough situation but hopefully you Galactic Heroes fans can help with that dilemma.

From Jedi News

1) The Galactic Heroes AT-AT has been solicited and shown by Hasbro several times over the last few years, including the UK and Canadian Toy Fair last year. When will this awesome product see the light of day (it seems like 2010 would be a great time to tie in with the 30th Anniversary of Empire)?

The Galactic Heroes AT-AT finally will be coming out to retail this Fall, scheduled for availability around August 1st. It’s a really nifty vehicle that is a perfect addition to the cute world of Galactic Heroes.

James – “We saw the final product at the UK Toy Fair and it does indeed look awesome and has some great features too – you’re going to have to wait till the US Toy Fair, in 10 days time, to find out more though… Also, for those in the UK wondering – it WILL be coming here!”
