Intercepted Transmissions: Two Mystery Black Series Items Arriving in the U.S.
It’s been pretty quiet lately in terms of new product announcements (official and unofficial) but recently I’ve seen that there are two as-of-yet unannounced Black Series items arriving in the U.S.: “SITH 1” and “SITH 2“. Not much is known yet about them or how they’ll be released but I’d expect something soon. I have foreseen it.
Update: They each ship 6 per case

Toys R Us Expansion News
Toys R Us is launching its biggest U.S. expansion in years, with 120 new standalone stores set to open in time for the holiday shopping season.
Time will tell if this has a positive impact on our hobby, but for now read more here.
Personal Note: My daughter went with me to the last day our local Toys R Us was open in June 2018. In a way, I feel part of her childhood was taken away by not having a major toy store to experience once she was 7 years old… she still remembers that day and is excited for when one hopefully opens in our area again, though of course it will never be the same.
