Okay, we need a place to gab about TF2019.... so here we go.

Some great tidbits coming from JI's coverage of the Hasbro SW presentation.  Specifically:

Kenner line announced. Called the Star Wars retro collection, using modern scans, recreated original kenner detail, coor matched. 6 figures with Chewbacca, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker,Storm Trooper, Leia, Darth Vader. They are doing a brand new Grand Moff Tarkin in the Kenner style. Tarkin is being released in the Escape from the Death Star game reissue.

Tarkin?  Kenner style?  Yay!!!  But you have to buy a game to get him?  Booo!!!

edit: fans will be able to vote for upcoming retro figures. Yay!

Old fogeys who grew up on the original Marvel run of Star Wars rejoice... welcome back Jaxxon, Valance, Domina, and Amaiza. and I hope Hasbro takes the opportunity to turn them all into TVC action figures (ha!) now that they are in the public eye again.

I haven't bought a SW comic since the Dark Horse days, but this one will be worth a grab when it debuts in a few months.

It’s extremely cold and snowy in sunny Mississauga this morning and to top it off, our furnace packed it in on Friday!
We can’t get it replaced until Monday so we have the fireplace and three heaters going full time to keep the temperature above 18 inside.
Wish I had a Tauntaun to crawl into.
