2010’s Impossible to Find G.I. Joe Exclusive Will Be…
As most die-hard Joe fans already know, Sargent Slaughter is the 2010 San Diego Comic Con exclusive for the G.I. Joe line. This is both awesome and maddening, because you’re either going to have to go way out of your way at the convention to try and get one (and you probably will fail anyway) [...]
Paul’s Peg > Hasbro Launches Greatest Mail Away Ever
ToyFair 2010 has a lot of great announcements, but perhaps one of the coolest is the upcoming mail away figure from the Star Wars Legacy line:
Friggen old school rocket firing Boba Fett, one of the most legendary of all unobtainable toys. Hot damn, with this and the new AT-AT Hasbro is going to have me [...]
Show and Tell > G.I. Joe in the Indiana Jones Crib
Hey everyone, Paul here again. Like almost any collector I feel like I must share my shame with the world, so this time I have something that I really enjoy. It’s a re-purposed Indiana Jones playset full of G.I. Joe action.
Paul’s Peg > First Good Shot of the Big AT-AT
I was hoping the first picture of the formally rumored AT-AT would be a glorious money shot, but our first halfway decent view is a crappy picture that leaves out the head. Still, it’s simply beautiful to behold.
Seriously, I have full on nerd boner here. WANT!

Paul’s Peg > Get Your Sexy … ah hem… Twilek Lego Minifigs
Female Twileks are the Swedish bikini models of the Star Wars universe. In fact, I really can’t think of an alien race that’s as alien, yet sexy as the Twileks (don’t you dare point to them new fangeled blue Avatars you sicko). If you’ve been hankering for a harem of Twileks for your Lego Luke [...]
Paul’s Peg > The Target TIE Fighter Non-Review
When I was a kid I had a lot of toys, but one toy I never had was a TIE Fighter. It was a little awkward having an X-Wing, Millennium Falcon, and a Y-Wing all gunning down nothing (or a G.I. Joe or Captain Power ship), so when Kenner began re-releasing Star Wars figures I [...]
Paul’s Peg > More Big AT-AT Rumors!
Remember when I whipped you all up into a frenzy about the big AT-AT (especially you Mr. Topless Robot? hehe)? Well, there’s more rumors spreading across the net on what this thing might look like and if true, we could be looking at one of the coolest toys ever:
From Rebelscum:
According to this eyewitness account, it [...]
Paul’s Peg > Action Figure Arcade Fun
How would you like to be slapped in the face with awesome? Well how’s this 3 3/4ths action figure scale arcade cabinet that was posted on Hisstank:
By Crom, that is an amazing replica of the classic Star Wars arcade cabinet. It was created by a crafty customizer who also got a Mortal Kombat II cabinet [...]
Paul’s Peg > A Look at Hasbro’s New AT-ST (Not a Review)
Out of my Christmas haul my biggest get (at least toy wise) was the new(ish) AT-ST put out by Hasbro. If you don’t remember this bad boy, I geeked out for it a few months ago and never thought I’d actually see it, much yet own it. If you’re on the fence or want to [...]
Paul’s Peg > A Jedirrific Star Wars Find
I’ll let you in on a secret. I’ve almost given up entirely on buying single carded figures in the 3 3/4ths scale. This is due to the fact that I’m poor and can’t fathom paying over seven dollars for one tiny figures. That’s why I’ve been digging these “Blockbuster Value” two packs that I’ve found [...]
