Rebel Reviews - Battle Packs: Rebel Heroes
Hooray, more repacks! Just what the line needed, especially during the debut of a whole new line look. I kid of course, but sadly there's nothing funny about it. In fact our friends at Yakface are reporting that some of the brand new 2012 Star Wars stuff including the "new" Battle Packs are already being spotted on clearance at retail! Read on to see why figure selections like these are terrible for the line. It's not much of a secret, but read on anyway.

Rebel Reviews - CW7: Commander Cody
The "new" The Clone Wars line is here! Unfortunately, there aren't very many figures that are actually new, and that sucks since it seems collectors of all ages were really starting to enjoy the quality stuff this line was bringing. Thankfully the new figures we are getting this year are very good for the most part. Commander Cody (now with Phase II armor!) is no exception. Read on and see if you need to add yet another version of Cody to your collection.

Rebel Reviews – Podracer Pilots (Toys R Us exclusive)

Available online starting last week (and now sold out) is the Toys R Us exclusive Podracer Pilots multipack. This set contains a wide range of old and new figures, all of which are simple repaints; but it's the inclusion of an exciting new accessory that's really generating buzz around this set. Read on and see if the Podracer Pilots are worth adding to your collection (again).
