FIGHT FOR YOUR EMPEROR

Limited stock of the first in the new line of Dark Horse Comic twin pack figures is now available here in Australia. Fans of the comic book series 'Crimson Empire' were treated to Black Stormtroopers earlier in the year, and now they have two more Expanded Universe character to add to the collection. Kir Kanos vs Carnor Jax. Two figure, removeable helmets, blasters and twin blade force pike.

Add to the mix an issue of Crimson Empire comic book and a very stylish  display package, it is going to be difficult to decide to keep this one mint on card or open. Don't procrastinate to long, as Case Fresh will sell out very quickly on this release.

Whilst you are their you might want to see if their are any of the Kit Fisto Jedi Starfighter left in stock. The striking green of Master Fisto's Star Fighter stood out in the space battles as it will also stand out in your display of Jedi Starfighters. Or you may choose to display it mint in its eye-catching 30th Anniversary Collection (TAC) box. Either way, it will disappear into hyperspace if you wait too long. :-)

THE DARK TIME HAS BEGUN

"For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire." The dark times are here. Even as the worlds of the former Republic are drawn into the iron grip of Palpatine's Empire, the galaxy seems adrift in a sea of chaos, lawlessness, and despair.

On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian army in a war they have already lost. Is this what it now means to be a Jedi? Dark Times #1 is the gateway to a new era in Star Wars history, an era where the future is grim, evil is on the rise, and all paths seem to lead nowhere . . .
