Recorded in late October/early November Dan Curto and James Burns talk about all the news from New York Comic Con, all the latest products available to buy or pre-order as well as catching up and talking to Steve Sansweet about the upcoming (at the time, anyway) party to celebrate the induction of Rancho Obi-Wan into the 2104 Guinness World Records.  There's lots more news besides and it's time to tune into the latest episode of the Curto Burns Collectors Cast and catch up by listening here.

Fear not, we'll have another show out before Christmas along with a special announcement too!

For your viewing pleasure, the first action figure in Hasbro's Legacy Collection 2 "Droid Factory" exclusive set is now added to the Sandwatch Guide. The 212th Battalion Clone Trooper is nothing more than a repaint of recent clone figures, but it's one of the most recognizable troops from Revenge of the Sith. This is the 5th incarnation of this particular trooper and the 9th figure to join the realistic battalion from Utapau. Confused? Get the full review after the jump!

For your viewing pleasure, here's a quick carded gallery of the 2013 Amazon.com exclusive 6-pack of Hasbro Star Wars action figures. Originally designed to be part of a new line of toys from that galaxy far, far away, Hasbro had planned to bring back their popular "Droid Factory" series in an all-new, all-different "Legacy Collection" line of toys.

Although that line was canceled before it even began, several of the announced figures were rescued from the parking lot and included in an exclusive 6-figure set...with additional parts to complete a 7th Droid Factory figure! This special set also includes the much-anticipated cardback design in the shape of an astromech droid. Even if these figures are all we get in this design...it's cool the cardback design did not go to waste. 

Check out the carded gallery of the Legacy Collection 2 Droid Factory set...and stay tuned for a full gallery and review after the holiday weekend.

No more guessing, no more rumors, no more speculation...Lucasfilm has finally confirmed a release date of December 18, 2015 for Star Wars: Episode VII!! Read the official report here.

RebelForce Radio throws away the Episode VII rumors and focuses on cold, hard facts this week with audio highlights from recent interviews with major players from the Star Wars saga. Hear from JJ Abrams, Harrison Ford, Jett Lucas and more. New info about the future of Star Wars at the Disney Parks is leaked, and they've got the deets. Also, there's a review the new Star Wars Rebels teaser, The Making of Return of the Jedi, and The Black Series Mara Jade action figure.

New York Comic Con officially starts tomorrow, but Hasbro has a pre-party tonight that has just now gotten underway. Our partners in The Force United, Jedi Temple Archives, is in attendance, and they have posted the first photo from the event...a cardback from the upcoming Star Wars Rebels toy line! Stay tuned for more info later tonight, and all weekend long!

New photos are coming through on JTA's Facebook page that confirms the rest of the rumors for The Black Series...Toryn Farr, Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training), Yoda (Dagobah Training), Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Pilot), Snowtrooper Officer, and another Vader.

JTA is also reporting that "Star wars rebels will be. Points of articulation. " (not entirely clear what this means, as field reporting can be tricky. Typos happen)

UPDATE: 5 Points of Articulation. Highly detailed sculpts (whatever THAT means). More Rebels to be revealed during this show, however...so perhaps we will see the style of the series revealed (not just ships)?

Also...a new version Ree-Yees is coming (confirming another long-standing rumor)!

Stay tuned for more info later tonight, and all weekend long!
