STAR WARS GALACTIC BATTLE GAME
(Available: August 1, 2010)
STAR WARS fans, prepare to battle your friends in head-to-head action and unlock the hidden powers of your favorite action figures. In 2010, a wide selection of Hasbro’s STAR WARS 3 ¾ inch action figures will include the all-new STAR WARS GALACTIC BATTLE GAME. Each figure is packaged with a competitive gaming base, a unique battle attributes card and a die to play the game, allowing kids to interact with their STAR WARS action figures in a whole new way. Game on!
Fans can collect the GALACTIC BATTLE GAME components with STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS 3 ¾ inch ACTION FIGURES, STAR WARS SAGA LEGENDS 3 ¾ inch ACTION FIGURES, STAR WARS
DELUXE FIGURE AND VEHICLES and STAR WARS BATTLE PACKS.
Yeah, no interest what so ever.
With reducing the number of figures, 2 years might be the sweet spot for Vintage.
Not sure about the Stormtrooper, but watch the panel. Posting videos tonight.
-Very cool,on the reducing of figures that’s mean’s nothing for me as i write this i have 19 store’s that sell the clone wars 3.3/4 fig’s, only 6 of them sell the Legacy & i still don’t get the full wave’s,there’s still clone wars i’m not geting (no Aayla) so when (or if) we get Vitage i’ll need 2 year’s to pick them all up 🙁
-Just hope i get that Aayla Secura on Vintage card 🙂
