Released near the end of Hasbro's Star Wars: Episode I line for $19.99, the Ammo Wagon & Falumpaset arrived in early 2000 and gave collectors another opportunity to expand their Gungan army displays from The Phantom Menace. Packaged in the familiar black-and-red Episode I design featuring Darth Maul in the upper-left corner, the set brought one of the Battle of Naboo's support creatures and battle wagons into the 3.75-inch scale line. More than two decades later, this unique creature-and-vehicle combination remains one of the most distinctive releases from the Episode I collection and continues to hold up surprisingly well as a display piece.
Star Wars action figure print ads are a fun time capsule from a very different era of collecting. Long before livestream reveals, social media teasers, fan-site rumor roundups, and pre-order links became the norm, collectors often discovered upcoming Hasbro Star Wars action figures through magazines, comic books, and printed fan publications. This article takes a look at some of the fun "modern era" ads, from 1995 and later.

Released on April 13, 2018, Han Solo's M-68 Landspeeder gave fans a dedicated vehicle from Solo: A Star Wars Story and included an exclusive Han Solo (Corellia) action figure. Priced at $29.99 as part of the mainline Solo toy assortment, this set offered a nicely detailed 3.75-inch compatible version of Han Solo's landspeeder, based on concept design work for the vehicle rather than an exact recreation of the version seen on screen.
Released in 1996 for $9.99, Kenner's Star Wars: Power Of The Force Detention Block Rescue playset gave collectors one of the earliest scene-specific environments in the modern Star Wars action figure line. Based on the Death Star detention block from A New Hope, this small playset lets fans recreate Princess Leia's rescue from cell 2187 in detention block AA-23, along with the hallway shootout and escape into the trash chute.
Thank you for joining us for a closer look at Kenner/Hasbro's Star Wars Power Of The Force TIE Fighter, released in the orange Power Of The Force (2) packaging in July/August 1995. The TIE Fighter was among the very first vehicles released when the modern Star Wars action figure line returned to stores, ending the ten-year hiatus that followed the end of the original Kenner Star Wars line in 1985. The Tie Fighter cost $19.99 at the time of its release in 1995 and was based on the Tie Fighter's The Empire Strikes Back appearance with a blue hull.

This Hailfire Droid was released in 2007 in the 30th Anniversary Collection for $19.99 as a mainline vehicle release. The vehicle itself is a repaint of the Hailfire Droid that had already been released in 2003 during the Clone Wars toy line.
