Never one to let us sleep, Lucasfilm has Star Wars Celebration: Japan the weekend before San Diego Comic Con. Celebration Japan is likely the biggest Star Wars party in the world for 2008 and Star Wars Action News' Larry is there to cover it. Mark Hammil signing, exclusive items, and new items being shown for the first time. It's a tremendous time to be a Star Wars fan in Japan, whether you live there or are just visiting. Then we have San Diego Comic Con which Steve Sansweet promised would be a spectacular party for Star Wars fans. Marjorie, Arnie, and several other Star Wars Action News staff are going to be covering the event in great detail over the next week, starting with our exclusive Premiere Night coverage coming to you right as the doors open 7 p.m. PST. But this week we run down what is coming up at SDCC--the exclusives, the panels, and all the excitement that is to be had. With a couple international voice mails and a review of the first Coruscant Nights novel, listen to this episode of Star Wars Action News--possibly on your way to San Diego! And if you are going to this year's San Diego Comic Con we'll not only have a Star Wars Action News dinner but also a line party at Mission Bay! Dinner will be at 8 p.m. at Tio Leo, a Mexican restaurant. There are several in the area, we will be going to the one at 5302 Nappa Street in San Diego (it's near Mission Bay, so close to the TRU). Then between 10 and 10:30 we will head to the Toys R Us at Mission Bay to join the line and have some fun and trivia! There's a chance that you may be able to carpool with someone from the con to dinner or dinner to TRU, but car capacity may be limited. If interested, RSVPs are requested but not required at our forum post. Talk to you Wednesday...from San Diego! What an exhausting time for Star Wars fans and Collectors.

With 3.75" figures ranging from $8 to $13 at retail, Ughnauts downsized from two per pack to one per pack, and vehicle rereleases costing nearly double what they used to, collectors dollars are getting stretched thinner and thinner, and in this economy it is not what collectors need. We tackle this hard issue this week on Star Wars Action News, looking at some new Toys R Us exclusive repacks that aren't the value of the original packs, and with a Hasbro Q&A asking about cost, quality of figures, and quantity of figures.

While so many of the Muggs warm shelves across the nation, others go for top dollar on eBay. With shoddy distribution and a number of exclusives, the only true reliable way to get the newest Muggs at near-retail prices is ordering by the case. This week on Star Wars Action News, we open cases of Wave 8 and 9 Mighty Muggs and see if they are worth the trouble, and also review the exclusive Admiral Ackbar and Shadow Stormtrooper Muggs. Also this week we have a very special Hasbro Q&A. Recently Hasbro announced that the collector market is waning and as such actions have been taken, such as removing the upcoming Force Unleashed wave from the regular lineup, instead making those figures exclusives, and that there will be a reduction in future collector-specific figures in the line. On this week's Q&A we drill for details on what this means for the Legacy collection, for comic packs, for the upcoming Expanded Universe wave of figures, and for collectors in general. Hasbro was very generous in giving us in-depth, detailed answers and it is one of our most thought-provoking Q&As yet. And from that Q&A Hasbro has asked us to poll our audience. In discussing Hasbro's reluctance to release a 1000th figure, they revealed they are no longer happy counting ONLY the 6x9 carded figures as figures when counting to 1,000 figures. But they want to know what the fan community thinks: what should count as a "figure" when counting to 1,000 figures? We are starting this information gathering process for Hasbro in our forums. Head to our forum topic and let us know what YOU think counts as a figure when counting to 1,000. Then we will let the entire Star Wars Community vote on which methodology we send to Hasbro so they know when to release a 1,000th figure (if we haven't it it already).

Hasbro was very generous in giving us in-depth, detailed answers and it is one of our most thought-provoking Q&As yet. And from that Q&A Hasbro has asked us to poll our audience. In discussing Hasbro's reluctance to release a 1000th figure, they revealed they are no longer happy counting ONLY the 6x9 carded figures as figures when counting to 1,000 figures. But they want to know what the fan community thinks: what should count as a "figure" when counting to 1,000 figures? We are starting this information gathering process for Hasbro in our forums. Head to our forum topic and let us know what YOU think counts as a figure when counting to 1,000. Then we will let the entire Star Wars Community vote on which methodology we send to Hasbro so they know when to release a 1,000th figure (if we haven't it it already). And more this week, Star Wars Action News along with sponsors Brian's Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, and Kotobukiya are holding a contest in celebration of Star Wars Action News' 200th episode. Details are revealed in this episode on how you can win a 1/6 Scale Ki-Adi Mundi, a set of Clone Wars Jedi Art-FX Statues, or a Vintage Carded Return of the Jedi Stormtrooper figure! Listen to find out how to enter and win STAR WARS ACTION NEWS VIDEO IDOL! With voice mails from Disney World and more, it's all this week on Star Wars Action News. Now with more dashed expectations! The Star Wars Mighty Muggs are an interesting line. While so many of the Muggs warm shelves across the nation, others go for top dollar on eBay. With shoddy distribution and a number of exclusives, the only true reliable way to get the newest Muggs at near-retail prices is ordering by the case. This week on Star Wars Action News, we open cases of Wave 8 and 9 Mighty Muggs and see if they are worth the trouble, and also review the exclusive Admiral Ackbar and Shadow Stormtrooper Muggs. Also this week we have a very special Hasbro Q&A. Recently Hasbro announced that the collector market is waning and as such actions have been taken, such as removing the upcoming Force Unleashed wave from the regular lineup, instead making those figures exclusives, and that there will be a reduction in future collector-specific figures in the line. On this week's Q&A we drill for details on what this means for the Legacy collection, for comic packs, for the upcoming Expanded Universe wave of figures, and for collectors in general.

But the problem is, they're all mostly the same. Sure, there are Sandtroopers with their colored shoulders, and Snowtroopers with their erie hoods and half-capes, but really there is just one Stormtrooper. Leave it to Hasbro to find a way to give us a multi-pack full of unique, helmet-removable stormtroopers by making the Joker's Squad of Stormtroopers from the Legacy comic books. We review these figures this week. Also this week we look at other offerings from Hasbro including some new Titaniums, the Target exclusive remote controlled Astromech droids, the Target exclusive Jabba's Rancor, and the TIE Fighter Bust from Gentle Giant.

The rarity of these autographs is what makes Master Replicas able to charge $800 more for a Millennium Falcon WITH Harrison Ford's autograph versus one without. For Arnie, that ultimate autograph has always been George Lucas, and this past weekend at the Siskel Film Center Arnie was able to get that autograph and meet "the maker". This week on Star Wars Action News, Arnie and Marjorie report on the George Lucas tribute at the Siskel Center and discuss finally getting that picture and autograph. Also this week, we have a vintage review of not one but two vintage Death Star playsets, one you probably know very well and the other you might not have heard of.
