Imperial Shipyards

Out with the old and in with the New!

As some of you already know, this ole hangar bay just couldn't keep up with the new equipment and modernization required by a decent Star Wars Site. That being said, we are proud to bring your our new Main Page and we have also added a more user friendly forum. We want to thank you for your patience while we resolved these issues and look forward to providing you a place to "COLLECT WITHOUT THE ATTITUDE!"

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PAGE AND THE OLD FORUMS WILL ONLY BE UP FOR SHORT SPAN OF TIME TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO MOVE YOUR THREADS.

Stay tuned for the final wrap up date for the old hangar bay page and the old nuke forums.

Lots of new items from Sideshow!!!

SIdeshow drops the bomb today with some major announcements! First up we have 12" versions of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper! Looks like the armored forms are on their way, so look out! IN addition to these 2 heavy hitters, keep your guard up and watch out for the 12" Rebel Fleet Trooper! These pesky Rebels can really damage some armor! The Tusken Raider is taking shots as a Premium Format figure, and General Grievous is losing his head in order to bring it to a shelf near you! More info on preorder dates as they arrive, but for now, head into our forums and check these babies out!

Reveal time is almost here!

Got this email from EE today;

SEE THEM AT COMIC-CON!

The wait is almost over! When you're in San Diego this week, be sure to stop by our booth at Comic-Con International for the identities of all 6 figures in the EE Exclusive Star Wars Mystery Figures 2008. Bring your camera, as we're certain you're going to want a picture to remember just how awesome these figures look until they show up on your doorstep this fall! See these exclusive Hasbro action figures at booth #2343 during Comic-Con, and check back on our website as we reveal them later this week!

Legacy Wave 2 Found!!!

Run to your nearest Target stores now!!! Today while at Target in Merrillville, I found the entire Legacy Collection Wave 2 on the pegs! I grabbed the Obi-Wan in Clone Armor, Saesee Tiin in armor, Clone SCUBA Trooper, ARC Heavy Gunner, Ilum Padme, Mon Calamari Warrior, Quarren Soldier, and IG Droid. What's better, they rang up at $3.32 each! Apparently, they're still marking them as the old TAC collection! SO, get out there and grab some new figures!

Legacy Revealed

Thanks to our friends at rebelscum.com who got their hands on some hasbro posters we now know what the legacy line will consist of. There are some good looking clones for sure. I still can't get my eyes around those wind swept figures, but be sure to check out the images in our forums. We have also had a forum member post some close up shots of Legacy Wave 4 with some close up shots.

I also saw that it looks like Captain Rex is starting to ship compliments of the Sinapore Star Wars Collecting Site: Star Wars.sg. Hasbro cashed my check for this months ago and it is high time Rex showed up!

For you Clone Wars fanatics it looks like Yoda News.com has posted some great images of R2-D2 and while they are highly skeptical of the Clone Wars line (count me in on that too Yoda News!) they do admit there looks to be some saving graces for some of these figures. I am just having a hard time getting over the skinny figs and action features, but they make em for kids and not just me I guess.

Also, if you haven't checked out Adam May's Blogger from Galactic Hunter.com about winning the Target you can be an action figure contest you are missing a good read. There is also an interesting concept Virago in there that roused my curiosity. That May is one hilarious guy I can definitely relate too.

Rebel Insignia Tie Fighter w/ Hobbie Klivian Figure

I was glancing at Star Wars Shop and came across the Rebel Big Wing Tiefighter I had seen pictures of recently. Here is the SW Shop link for those who haven't seen this yet;

Rebel Insignia Tie Fighter w/ Hobbie Klivian Figure

I must admit I was a little taken aback when this rung up for $53.99, but not having one of the big wing ties in my collection yet I just couldn't resist the new paint job and better tie pilot. If you order in July you will also recieve for free a Star Wars Miniatures 2-pack. I would have much rather had a smaller price instead of this miniature two pack, but at least it is something for that much deniro. It isn't due to ship till November so hopefully my wallet will have recovered sucessfully by then from the coming onslaught next week. So, are you going to get this? Feel free to drop your comments about this repainted big wing tie in our forums.

UPDATE: I see SW shop also has the following on site:

Exclusive AOTC Clone Commander 12" Real Action Hero Figure for $129.99 &

Crimson Empire Action Figure Gift Set for $34.99.

Hasbro Star Wars Update

Wow, starwars.hasbro.com has gotten a facelift compliments of the new Clone Wars line and they have a new address: www.hasbro.com/starwars/. It is full of information and you are going to have to take a look at it yourself, but here are a few of the tidbits so far:

Information on different retail events

Hasbro Star Wars Fall 2008 toy release guide UPDATE: This link is correct, but is not displaying correctly for me yet.

Some Clone Wars wallpaper

website updates coming

There is a ton more, but I wanted to get this info on as soon as I saw it. Feel free to stop by our forums and comment on what you see.

Train the Emperor's Bodyguards!

New Galactic Heroes Found

I was snooping at my local Wal-Mart today hoping to score some new items and came across the new Galactic Heroes line. I don't collect this line, but I noticed an interesting cardback difference;

On a few of the cardbacks, the upper right hand section of the card was not cut like the left side. Whereas most of the cardbacks had sculpted edges on the top of both sides, a few of these did not on the right hand side only.

Feel free to offer your comments in our forums.

UPDATE: I was able to add a few pics of said differences in our Galactic Hero Forums.

E3 08 Preview

I am having a hard time paying attention enough to type this. I was channel surfing and came across G4's E3 2008 video game preview and I must say the new things coming out are simply awesome! A few of the tidbits I have seen so far:

Final Fantasy 13 is gonna be available in XBOX, not just PS3!

They are coming out with a cheaper priced XBOX 360 and a 60 gig version is gonna be available too.

You can shoot teddy bears at enemies in FALLOUT 3!

Microsoft seems to be kicking major booty from what I can see.

Ofcourse I am staying tuned to see if I can see news on THE FORCE UNLEASHED and have been disappointed so far, but I will try to add what new things I come across as I see em in our forums.
