The Star Wars Mighty Muggs are an interesting line. While so many of the Muggs warm shelves across the nation, others go for top dollar on eBay. With shoddy distribution and a number of exclusives, the only true reliable way to get the newest Muggs at near-retail prices is ordering by the case. This week on Star Wars Action News, we open cases of Wave 8 and 9 Mighty Muggs and see if they are worth the trouble, and also review the exclusive Admiral Ackbar and Shadow Stormtrooper Muggs. Also this week we have a very special Hasbro Q&A.; Recently Hasbro announced that the collector market is waning and as such actions have been taken, such as removing the upcoming Force Unleashed wave from the regular lineup, instead making those figures exclusives, and that there will be a reduction in future collector-specific figures in the line. On this week's Q&A; we drill for details on what this means for the Legacy collection, for comic packs, for the upcoming Expanded Universe wave of figures, and for collectors in general. Hasbro was very generous in giving us in-depth, detailed answers and it is one of our most thought-provoking Q&As; yet. And from that Q&A; Hasbro has asked us to poll our audience. In discussing Hasbro's reluctance to release a 1000th figure, they revealed they are no longer happy counting ONLY the 6x9 carded figures as figures when counting to 1,000 figures. But they want to know what the fan community thinks: what should count as a "figure" when counting to 1,000 figures? We are starting this information gathering process for Hasbro in our forums. Head to our forum topic and let us know what YOU think counts as a figure when counting to 1,000. Then we will let the entire Star Wars Community vote on which methodology we send to Hasbro so they know when to release a 1,000th figure (if we haven't it it already). And more this week, Star Wars Action News along with sponsors Brian's Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, and Kotobukiya are holding a contest in celebration of Star Wars Action News' 200th episode. Details are revealed in this episode on how you can win a 1/6 Scale Ki-Adi Mundi, a set of Clone Wars Jedi Art-FX Statues, or a Vintage Carded Return of the Jedi Stormtrooper figure! Listen to find out how to enter and win STAR WARS ACTION NEWS VIDEO IDOL! With voice mails from Disney World and more, it's all this week on Star Wars Action News.
