"During the Hasbro Fall 2007 Analyst Event this morning, they announced the much-anticipated "Star Wars" Clone Wars animated TV series would have a theatrical launch next year on August 8 and then on TV throughout the fall." (Hasbro Fall 2007 Analyst Event Audio) The Clone Wars Theatrical information you seek can be heard 56 minutes into the presentation.

LucasFilm responded to the information obtained by CollectingHQ.com by stating: "I'd like to clarify Hasbro comments this AM about the Clone Wars TV series. We see it as a breakthrough animated television series and are exploring a number of innovative ways to introduce it to the public. No decisions regarding release strategy have been made yet."

They followed up with just one question. Is a theatrical release introducing the series in the works? The response was: "It's one of the many things being discussed but we have no decisions yet. For us it's all about finding a creative way to launch a creative TV series."

Last year when Rick McCallum was talking about another Star Wars movie, everyone thought he didn't know what he was talking about. So what he said might have been true, from a certain point of view.

For seven years, outlaw Admiral Gar Stazi has led the remains of the Galactic Alliance in hit-and-run operations against the Sith-led Empire.

There, in the deadly Undercity, she will encounter a monstrous threat, an ancient legend, and Zayne Carrick, the Padawan accused of killing his fellow students!

Yet Stazi is no fool -- he may have agreed to play the Sith's game, but not with the cards they expect! Meanwhile, forces loyal to the deposed Emperor Roan Fel wait on the sidelines.

Now for what is a little different. Other than the design and lots of behind the scenes work, I have decided to make our most popular section (Ships) more streamlined and easier to find what you need. The Ships Section has now been broken into 3 new sections. Ships, Vehicles, and Bases & Space Stations. You will now find them separately from our Features Menu. These new sections have been broken down and grouped into categories for ease of use. I hope you will enjoy them!

www.collectZing.com, the free online social and trading network for collectors, young and old, dabbling and passionate, has been launched. With collectZing you can easily create and organize catalogues of your collectibles, and store important information about them.

The collectZing Marketplace is an online trading exchange where collectors can buy, sell and swap their collectibles, with no fees or costs during the beta period.

Members can list their items for sale with a range of different payment options, including collectZing’s own virtual currency the ‘Zing’. Potential buyers can then browse and make offers on the items – including offering one of their own items for a swap as part of the trade. The Marketplace is not auction based, so sellers can choose to accept any of the offers, meaning highest price does not necessarily guarantee success.

Unlike auction web sites, collectZing tracks the provenance of the items traded in the Marketplace, helping to prevent fraud and substantially improving the historical information available about a collectible the next time it is offered for sale in the Marketplace.

collectZing benefits all types of collectors. New collectors can learn from more experienced ones, join the community and make long-term friendships, and easily maintain a catalogue of all their new purchases and finds. More passionate collectors can benefit from the detailed object descriptions, which can be used to maintain financial and insurance information, track loans, trades and sale information.

collectZing.com is the ideal online meeting place for collectors of anything at all. Most of us have something we collect - even if you don’t view yourself as a ‘collector’ you can still have fun on the site by creating collections of things that are meaningful to you.

Membership of collectZing.com is free, and it only takes a few minutes to join and set up your first collection. Just go to www.collectZing.com and click the Sign Up button.
