Yak face Reader Ian A writes in with a fantastic 6″ Black Series find at Toys”R”Us in Ontario.

Happy hunting!

Didn’t think yesterday’s “leak” of the Rey (Resistance Outfit) was a big deal? Disney/Lucasfilm seems to think differently as Jeremy Conrad (Furious Fanboys/Star Wars Unity) has received several takedown notices for DMCA violation by simply re-sharing that photo. You can read his account at StarWarsUnity.net
Update: Disney/Lucasfilm is the party issuing the C&Ds over the figure leak, not Hasbro*.
*Apologies to any unnecessary shade thrown your way.
Seamus Gameus once again provides photographic proof of new product hitting retail in North America. He found the 6″ Black Series Resistance Trooper and TIE Fighter Pilot at his Toronto Walmart.
