Kenner's Original Collection was made available pretty much all over the world through distribution partnerships with other toymakers. The first company to distribute the toys in Japan was Takara, and their product line differed from their US counterpart in many ways, making a collection pretty unique. Despite all the products created specifically for their market place, Takara did release some Kenner products including two of the Large Size Action Figures: Luke and Leia. Both were hard to find before the Tsunami, and now they may be significantly to locate, so it is worth mentioning the Takara Princess Leia Organa Large Size Action Figure currently up for auction.

The Toy Hunters pilot episode did exceptionally well when it premiered the other week, and now the Travel Channel's is going to rebroadcast it this Sunday in Prime Time. We have a feeling that this is a very positive sign for the show, and know that it will positively affect our community if it goes to series. That said, we ask that you check your local listings and make sure to tune in and watch it when it airs. Remember, the ratings are based on live veiws, and DVRing it won't count. Let's get together and make this show happen!

Poll
George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.
We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
Good for you George! You've earned it.
Thank goodness!
I don't see the irony here.
