Also hitting the shelves this past week is the Vintage Collection Y-Wing vehicle with improved cockpit details and a now functional droid socket for dropping in your favorite R-Unit. The vehicle also comes with a new Red paint scheme rather than the previous classic yellow application.

Toronto Fan Expo 2011

Well, I'm all set. Anthony Daniels will be making an appearance this year and although I already have an autograph from him it will be nice to get one in person. I've had the pleasure of meeting Carrie Fisher, David Prowse and Peter Mayhew at previous Fan Expos and shaking hands with a 4th member of the original cast will be an honour. Mark Hamill where are you? Honestly... you were at SDCC last year. How about visiting TO for a change?

Rumor has it the new K-Mart B-Wing Exclusive will be offered at the FanExpo. I'm counting my pennies. Sorry William Shatner... though I love you to death I'm not forking over $150 for your autograph and there's the B-Wing (and possibly Masterpiece Rodimus Prime) to add to my collection.
