Sideshow Collectibles is now taking preorders for the Hot Toys 1:6 scale Movie Masterpiece Luke Skywalker (A New Hope) figure. Be sure to order from Sideshow Collectibles to receive the Exclusive version that includes the stormtrooper belt and rifle.
The Realm Recap is back after the Memorial Day Weekend bring and in our absence, there were plenty of developments in collecting. Collectors success at retail has started to improve as more folks are finding Black Series figures (in both scales) at their local stores. eBay caused a bit of a frenzy this week as a notorious seller posted the first auction for a collectible from The Force Awakens — a 6″ First Order Stormtrooper which closed at a ridiculous price. Is it legit??? Also this week, new store finds from LEGO, product news for Disney Infinity 3.0, custom 6″ figures and vehicles as well as a new character name revealed fro The Force Awakens! It’s all on Episode 63 of The Realm Recap!
