We really can't wait until Memorial Day weekend, when the City of Angels will welcome Star Wars fanatics from across the globe for Celebration IV, in honor of the big 30th Anniversary of the saga! To get things started at Sideshow, we began offering Priority Pre-Ordering our 30th Anniversary Exclusives last week! Both the Attendee and Non-Attendee editions of the Medicom Toy Sandtrooper are now SOLD OUT, so make sure to sign up on the Wait List if you missed out! Plus, our 'This is no Cave' Space Slug diorama is now available for pre-order for Attendees - check the Star Wars section of this newsletter for more information abo ut Non-Attendee pre-ordering. Then, next week you'll have a chance to grab our iconic Yavin Luke 12-inch figure, which you can get a glimpse of through the preview link in the Star Wars section of today's newsletter!

Remember, if you are ordering Attendee editions, you MUST pick your items up at the convention BEFORE Noon (12:00 PM PT) on Sunday, May 27th, or your orders will be canceled. Any canceled products will be offered to walk-up Attendees beginning Monday morning, May 28th. We'd also like to announce that those Attendees who will be present on Fan Club Day (Thursday, May 24th) WILL be able to pick up their Exclusives at our booth that day. If you are in doubt about your attendence, please order a Non-Attendee edition to be safe! Also keep in mind that credit cards will begin processing for 30th Anniversary Exclusives during the week of May 3rd, and Non-Attendee shipping will begin at the end of May, so be sure to make the necessary financial arrangements before then - we'd hate to have to cancel your order due to a decline.

We realize that it has been a while since the release of our last Lord of the Rings Premium Format figure, and we'd like to take this opportunity to once again reassure our LOTR collectors that there is no end to this line in site. Currently, the Sideshow Creative Team is in progress on THREE fantastic new figures, one of which is on the cusp of final approval. Therefore, we're taking this opportunity to break tradition and let the news out a bit earlier than we had originally planned. GANDALF THE WHITE will be the next Lord of the Rings Premium Format figure! Stay tuned to future newsletters, production blog posts, and podca sts as we divulge more information and photos of this much-anticipated collectible! [Current LOTR PF figures]
As the shipping date for our fan-favorite Faramir, Son of Denethor 12-inch figure approaches, we are excited to give our collectors a glimpse at his packaging design in the Production Blog!

Faramir marks the first release in the line from a new film, 'The Two Towers' - meaning the packaging design is a little different this time around. Follow the link to the blog entry to find out how, and don't forget to pre-order the figure if you haven't yet! [Faramir packaging in the Blog][Pre-Order the Regular Edition][Exclusive Wait List]
