With every new Star Wars release, there is a plethora of reference material and resource publications that go along with it. For me, they are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive for the holidays. The Last Jedi hits theaters next week, and DK will be releasing their Visual Dictionary and Incredible Cross-Sections books plus Abrams’ The Art of The Last Jedi book. All three are available for preorder now on Amazon at up to 51% off their retail price and ship next week.
Frankie P. posted a couple shots via Facebook of the Columbia store window display in New York featuring the upcoming Echo Base Collection of coats. The vintage packaging display is just the icing on the cake for this cool line. Click on through for a closer look.

Target.com is now taking orders for the 6″ Black Series Jaina Solo figure. Thanks to Corey from First Order Transmissions for the heads-up.
Update: Out of stock
Walmart is starting to market their exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Throne Room) via social media but it’s still not available online or in store (in the US). The above ad popped up in my Instagram feed earlier today, hopefully release is imminent.
A new Hot Wheels item has turned up on Brickseek. I managed to find a listing for “Hot Wheels Star Wars Lando Pegasus” which turns out to be another vehicle that is part of the Battle Rollers assortment. If our theory on the coding is correct, this should be a Lando Calrissian with Millennium Falcon item. I added the pertinent UPC and Walmart SKU to our Master List for easy reference.
Twitter follower @JamesRMeier sends us a huge deal he got on the Millennium Falcon from The Force Awakens. It appears that 99¢ Only stores have this available for only $19.99!
Nice score James!

Black Series Wave 14 (containing Snoke, Rose, Jaina) is starting to hit all over the US. A tell-tale sign that you’ve missed the figures is that the #44 Rey (Jedi Training) carry-forward is on the pegs, but this version includes the battle-damage bloody scratch on her right arm. I found the above example today at Target.
Brickseek is showing that 9% of stores have received the awaited Walmart Exclusive 6″ Kylo Ren (Throne Room) figure and also shows a price of $34.99. Let us know if and where you find it if results show in your area. (UPC: 630509615865 / SKU: 287877571)
