Star Wars Action News|Episode CXC: Ha$$$$$bro Episode
Perhaps we are getting old when we have to be told by Hasbro employees that "the value of a dollar isn't what it used to be" but that doesn't make the increasing cost of Hasbro Star Wars toys any easier for collectors' pocket books. 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. We also look at some other sites' Hasbro Q&As where information is revealed about Hasbro's collector market, and the fact that the new packaging will see the first size in 3.75" figure card sizes in Star Wars' 32 year history. With a look at the latest Star Wars Minis expansion, Imperial Entanglements, and a vintage review of 4-LOM (Or is it Zuckuss?) it's all on this week's Star Wars Action News!
