Chewbacca Premium Format StatueOfficially announced last year at San Diego Comic-Con, Sideshow updated last night with an image of the upcoming Premium Format Chewbacca statue.

No additional details were included, but if the pattern stays true, we’ll probably see production photos of him next Tuesday with a pre-order on Thursday.  Head over to Sideshow’s website to see the full picture and sign up for alerts so you’ll know first when Chewiee goes up for pre-order.

9500 Sith Fury-class InterceptorWe read a few reports online that some Walmart stores had issued a price rollback on several Star Wars sets and, after checking locally, can confirm this.  The discounts range from about $3 to about $24 on the higher priced offerings.  Here’s what showed up on rollback at the local store, original retail in parentheses:

  • 9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter: $35.96 ($44.97)
  • 9499 Gungan Sub: $55.96 ($69.97)
  • 9500 Sith Fury-Class Interceptor: $72.96 ($89.97)
  • 9515 Malevolence: $95.96 ($119.97)
  • 9516 Jabba’s Palace: $95.96 ($119.97)
  • 9525 Pre Vizsla’s Mandalorian Fighter: $39.96 ($49.97)
  • 75002 AT-RT: $17.00 ($19.97)

The savings on the Malevolence and Jabba’s Palace are quite significant but we’d recommend picking up the two Old Republic ships or Pre Vizsla’s Fighter as they’re the type of sets that can fly under the radar, suddenly disappear and leave you searching eBay for a deal.
