Title: Master Replicas no longer to make Star Wars Colletables after this year
Post by: Jen on May 17, 2007, 04:52:53 PM
Sad news broke in the Mater Replica's forums yesterdayâ€"I just heard it today on Arnie And Marjorie's microcast. Apparently Lucas Arts did not renew Master Replicas' license to create Star Wars collectables. This will be their last year and they won't be at C4.  :-\

To be a little clearer: MR will be at C4 - they will still be having the party for CS members - but they will not have a booth nor C4 exclusive products, those will be available on their website at some point.

I think this is very sad news.  I was extremely excited about the mini helmets, in particular the TIE Pilot helmet which was never released by Riddell, and now won't be by MR either.  I was also hoping the someday we would see Dooku and Sidious FX Sabers.
