Shattered Empire Exclusive Cover Variants
While browsing about eBay this morning, I stubbled across two exclusive variant covers for the upcoming Shattered Empire series.
The first, exclusive to Comic Pop Collectibles, features an ominous depiction of the Emperor with Darth Vader in the foreground. The second, exclusive to Third Eye, features Luke Skywalker over a star field with the Millennium Falcon under pursuit. Look for these on shelf September 2.
Episode #71: Elusive Exclusive
The Realm Recap returns this week with the latest in Star Wars collecting news. On this episode, Flyguy and I discuss the availability (or lack thereof) of the SDCC Exclusive First Order Stormtrooper that was briefly available on HasbroToyShop.com last week – plus new merchandising and marketing hitting stores prior to Force Friday. Christmas in July was clearly on Gentle Giant’s mind as they revealed their holiday themed Jumbo Salacious Crumb for PG Members. Did this cause you to laugh maniacally? LEGO leaks continue to trickle out as another list of products for 2016 hit the web with a couple interesting reveals. With Episode VII news, Rogue One filming about to begin and our developing addiction to Topps’ Card Trading app, Episode #71 of The Realm Recap is “groomed” for your enjoyment.
