Not that you needed reminding, but tomorrow (9/20) is the day you need to squat by your computer or mobile device in hopes to acquire the 6″ Black Series Clone Captain Rex. I would expect this to go up for sale sometime in the morning. Make sure your HasbroToyShop account is in order and you are logged in, you have funds ($24.99 + shipping) available if paying by PayPal. Remember, discount codes WILL NOT work so don’t even bother. Good luck and MTFBWY!
