Star Wars Illustrated (Topps)
There are 2 audio CDs of the 1980s radio show being released on Nov 6 by HighBridge. They come with an exclusive Topps card-- 2 different. Each CD sells for $ 29.95

Does anyone know anything about the promos for this set that are supposed to be exclusive to STar Wars Insider magazine # 144 ? These were advertised, but I see some of the mags on ebay. They don't seem to have cards in them

I thought it was issue 145 which was going to have the cards and I don't think it is out yet.

Star Wars Insider will be revealing their four Illustrated promos on their Facebook account next week. Also, Topps confirmed on Facebook that they will be distributed just like the Jedi Legacy promos were.

These magazines (both versions, to get all 4 promos) can be ordered from the same source that you could use to obtain the Jedi Legacy promos, earlier this summer. Worked for me last time !

Here is the reveal of the P-3 promo from rebelscum.com

I don't know if/where the P-2 or P-4 have been revealed.

Well, there are 2 versions of the magazine. I can confirm that.

So it's probably like with the last Star Wars set that Topps did, 2 promos in the newsstand version, 2 promos in the subscribers version

Buy 1 copy of each, you get all 4 promos

Thanks Andy. Those 2 sites aren't in the group of Star Wars fan sites I frequent.

The magazine hits shelves in North America next week. Subscribers are probably already starting to see it arrive in the mail.

Barnes & Noble told me the 22nd

Got the cards today at Barnes & Noble. P1 & P4 were in one magazine and P2 & P3 in another magazine

So two of the cards are not subscriber exclusive then if you got them all in the bookshop.

That is correct. I bought two magazines. The cards are visible from the front packaging. B & N had three copies. Two had P1 visible and one had P2 visible.

I ordered my mags directly from that source, that magazine distributor whose link people shared in another post.

My order arrived today and all was fine. I have to say, these came much quicker for me (less than a month) than the last SW Mag with the promo cards that they had, the one released early this summer

I received my Light Side and Dark Side copies of the radio drama from Highbridge today. They were very well packaged in a bubble mailer. The CD's are packaged on a standard plastic CD mount with a cardboard outer case that unfolds to be three panels. The promo is cello packed and mounted on the center panel with booger glue (that's what my family always called it). It's a nice little display. The promos are numbered HB-1 and HB-2.


Kudos to Highbridge for packing the promo so it wouldn't receive any damage!
