I have yet to received my HASLAB Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge (shipping label just created today), but people are sending in reports to us stating these were shipped without "Corner Protectors", even though it was stated in the Final HASLAB Insider that it would. When they say "reinforced with corner protectors" most would picture what is shown above or something similar.

HASLAB Insider:
"The finished packages are loaded into a double shipper (two double-faced, heavy-duty cartons that are reinforced with corner protectors) helping the Barge and its final packaging to arrive at their destination undamaged."

So why is this a big deal? Well there are lots of reports of people receiving their orders with crushed / damaged boxes due to the shipping and handling of Fedex. If corner protectors were used, they could have helped in preventing damage to the boxes.

Anyways if your order arrived with some sort of corner protectors, let us know. I will reach out to Hasbro as well, to see if I can get a response on what's going on.

Ok folks, added to our HD Photo Gallery tonight is The Black Series 6-Inch 82: Mace Windu figure. All I can say is WOW, this figure looks awesome in my opinion. Hasbro really did a great job capturing Samuel Jackson's likeness.

Mace includes a Removable Robe and a Lightsaber.

Just a FYI, if you have not received a tracking number for your HASLAB The Vintage Collection Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna) you may want to call 1-800-408-0052. Per my Hasbro contact the majority of orders were shipped out Monday.

Per the reports people are sending in to us, there seems to be a couple of issues for those that did not receive a tracking number yet.

• Orders shipped no tracking number sent. - Remember there is a required signature upon delivery, so if your unaware that your order has shipped this could be a issue if you are not home to sign for it.

• Orders not fulfilled at all. - People have called in to check on their orders just to find out their order was not fulfilled for some unknown reason. In this case these orders are being escalated to a manager.

If you had any interests in The Black Series 8-Inch Hyperreal Darth Vader but thought the MSRP of $79.99 was a bit steep, Amazon is now taking Preorders for it at $56.25 as of post.

This is sold and shipped by Amazon. Not sure how long this price will last so don't wait to long to preorder. Estimated ship date is July 1st. Direct Link to Product.

Added to our HD Photo Gallery tonight is The Black Series 6-Inch 79: Dryden Vos figure. Hasbro did a great job on the sculpt and gave him plenty of articulation. He includes a Removable Cape, and a pair of Kyuzo Petars.

One cool feature of this figure is when cold, red veins are revealed on his face and also the blade edges turn red on his Kyuzo Petars as well.

As we mentioned back on 2/28, The Black Series 6-Inch 79: Dryden Vos figure had a color change feature that reveals red veins in his face, when cold. It was also mentioned by a few of our readers today that the blade edges of his Kyuzo Petars weapons changed as well, so I put him back in the freezer with his weapons and the blade edges did turn red. Its not as noticeable as his face, but they did change. Above is a quick photo.

I am just finishing up all of the Dryden Vos pictures and will get them up soon.

Received a notice from my Bank tonight that Entertainment Earth has charged my account for The Black Series 6-Inch General Grievous figures that I preorder back in January. If you have placed a preorder as well, you may want to check your account to see if yours has been processed also.

If your still in need, Entertainment Earth is still taking preorders. Price is $29.99 each with a estimated ship date of April 2019.

So if you are unaware, Hasbro has incorporated color changing Paint into The Black Series 6-Inch 79: Dryden Vos figure's face. When warm the veins in his face are normal, but if you make him cold (stuck him in freezer) the red veins appear.

The pop-up photo above shows a side-by-side of the color changing paint.

TBS 6-Inch 83: Battle Droid - HD Photos

Tonight I have added The Black Series 6-Inch 83: Battle Droid to our HD Photo Gallery, which in my opinion is most impressive and probably one of my favorite figures from this toy line. The sculpt just looks amazing and he has lots of articulation. I was a bit worried that maybe the joints on this figure would be really loose, but they are tight on the sample I have. He includes a Blaster Rifle, Removable Back Pack with adjustable antennas, and a antenna pack.

Hopefully Hasbro will give us some variants in the future like Battle Droid Commander, Battle Damaged, and etc.
