The Last Star Wars Comic Packs
 
6 Attachment(s)
Well, after a mere four years on the market, Hasbro's Star Wars Comic 2-packs are reportidly coming to an end in 2010.

It truly is a shame these won't be lasting longer, but the fact of the matter is that, although the series gave us such awesome sets as:

Boba Fett & RA-7 (2007)
Fenn Shysa & Dengar (2008)
Kyle Katarn & Yuzzhan Vong (2009)

As a whole, the series was disappointing and has the likes of Koffi Arana & Boltar Swan and Anakin & Durge simply warm pegs for months. Thus, Hasbro has decided to pull the plug, but not without one final go! Here are some of the first loose pictures of Hasbro's final 5 mass retail comic packs!

Enjoy!! :D

NOTE: These are the final mass retail comic packs. Two exclusives will be released at Comic Con this year in San Diego and Hasbro is in talks with the likes of online retailers like Entertainment Earth to possibly have a few more released exclusively through online retailers before the line jumps to hyperspace some time this year. ;)

Well, it's official!!! 4 more comic packs are also planned for release, this time through online retailer Entertainment Earth, the same retailer who gave us the Joker Squad, Delta Squad and Elite Forces of the Republic sets respectively!

Set for release in November 2010, the 4 four sets include: Darth Nihl and Deliah Blue (from Legacy), Jarael and Rohlan Dyre (from Knight of the Old Republic), the never-before-seen Baron Fel and Ysanne Isard (from X-Wing Rogue Squadron), and still-not-seen Jaster Mereel and Montross (from Jango Fett: Open Seasons) and are now available for pre-order at Entertainment Earth for a price of $17.99 each!

That is a great tie in set for Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor.;)

^^ Agreed! Thought that especially when I saw the Blackhole hologram.

I should be getting some pics of the SDCC exclusive comic 2-packs in a day or so, so stay tuned everyone! ;)
