Realm Recap co-host Flyguy reports that the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Commander Gree has started arriving at store in Australia as well. Good on the rest of the world getting them in a timely manner as its usually everyone but the US that gets the shaft on exclusives.

Target needs to take a hard look at their DPCI system and how they assign them to particular UPCs as there is no good explanation as to why a Black Series figure from 2015 (let alone Zuvio) should still be twice as much as a figure from 2016.
Target has finally begun the process of clearancing out product that has been desperately staring back at you for nearly the past year. While most of these are the “lower tiered” 5POA style toys that even the kids seem to have no interest in, you will also likely find items from TBS getting marked down significantly as well.
While it’s good to get out with the old, seeing what is on clearance, and more importantly, knowing what NEVER MADE IT to retail, is a chilling sign for just how bad the brand is being merchandised these days. We can only hope that Hasbro has a much better game plan for the upcoming two films and beyond and turns this frown upside down.
Head on over to the forums for some close up images of the items marked down at my local store in the STL area, as well as the markdowns (which are already significant)… and for a personal rant.
A new publication ad has been released for the upcoming Movie Realization Oni Darth Maul from Tamashii Nations. Thanks to @CPThrio on Twitter for the heads up!
Topps’ Star Wars Card Trader has sent out an email blast teasing some new card collections including an awesome set of Kenner Action figure inserts!
Hot Toys has just revealed their 1:6 Scale Luke Skywalker rJedi Kingith figure from Return of the Jedi and it’s gorgeous. The figure features plethora of accessories to recreate his different looks in the film as well as a complement of switch out hands – even the blaster damage right hand from Jabba’s sail barge. Head on over to HotToys.com.hk for the imagery and full specs.
