The New Jedi Order

This one is going to be a Target exclusive, but sites such as JediNews are reporting it will get a UK release also. Presumably that means it will turn up in Toys R Us.

No details yet on the pricing, though I'd expect them to be around £24.99 to £29.99.

Looks like it should be a good read when it comes out. The last real guide for figures was in 2005.But then again, after the Attack of The Clones lines it all went a bit mad with figure line releases. Was a bit hard to track after that! Hopefully this will a fresh update on that.

Octopustreehouse is selling a number of Star Wars themed prints at £12.94 each with a 12x12 inch semi-glossy finish. At the time of writing there are currently 6 different prints available.

Not quite the Dark Helmet (Spaceballs), this interestingly named product is just a concept that is at the "idea stage" for a new LEGO Star Wars product. Many collector's out there often want trooper builder packs to help put together dioramas, and Dark Bucket is basically the same. Just for LEGO. At the time of writing they are up to 3,832 votes but need 10,000 votes before they turn it into an actual product.

They haven't really decided exactly what will be in it yet - first thoughts would be 99 Stormtroopers and 1 Darth Vader, though there are thoughts that maybe included Biker Scouts, etc. would be a better idea. It's not the only project LEFO CUUSOO have either. There are projects for a Sandcrawler, Invisible Hand (from ROTS), a LEGO Star Wars Chess Set, and also a Jedi Temple (from Coruscant).

The following are out this week:

Star Wars - Jedi The Dark Side (Vol. 1)

Twenty-one years before the events in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn is dispatched to prevent the outbreak of a civil war on the homeworld of his Padawan Xanatos--whose father is king. It is a mission that will lead Qui-Gon into close contact with the dark side and start him on a quest that will have a major impact on the future of the Jedi Order!

Now the opportunity to make that money and then some has walked into his life in the form of the perfect heist. With nine like-minded scoundrels, he and Chewbacca just might be able to pull it off and live to tell the tale!

The official blurb for the book is:

The Death Star has been destroyed. The Rebellion has had its first big victory. And Han Solo, newly conscripted to the Rebel cause, is on the run from the Empire and the bounty hunters eager to turn him in for the huge reward being offered by Jabba the Hutt. Now a mysterious stranger offers Han the resources to execute a daring robbery from a major crime lord. The mission is impossible, but the prize will make Han a free man. With no choice but to accept, Han Solo and his Wookiee partner, Chewbacca, set out to assemble a cast of rogues, knaves, and cons with the right combination of wits, skills, and derring-do to pull off an operation of this complexity and scale—the best scoundrels the galaxy has to offer.
