After taking a post-Star Wars Day break from the show last week, Flyguy and I are back to discuss the latest in Star Wars collecting. A mysterious Black Series set of astromechs turned up in Hong Kong and we speculate on its destination. Funko dropped their new Smuggler’s Bounty this week and we break down its contents and criticisms. Plus, Rogue One had a series of “spoilers” drop this week in terms of characters names, aliens and vehicles. All of this and more PLUS our latest acquisitions on Episode #97 of The Realm Recap.
S.H.Figurarts has revealed the next Star Wars figure for their 6″ scale line: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Attack of the Clones). It is scheduled for a November 2016 release.

Everything surrounding Rogue One has been pretty hush-hush up until this point but today a bunch of new information for the next Star Wars film has made its way online. Edelweiss has posted ten 2-page spreads from the upcoming Official Visual Story Guide and it reveals character names, aliens, vehicles and more.
Yakface Reader Eddie J. directs our attention to a very interesting image that has surfaced on Facebook. It depicts an (TRU?) exclusive 6″ Black Series Astromech 3 pk. which includes droids R2-A3, R5-K6 and R2-F2. No additional details are yet available for this set but look more info soon.
Civil War was amazing, and we sold out of every single Marvel Legends figure, before the movie was even released. Well the good news is, we have a brand new revision case and sets now available to pre-order. Don’t miss out on some of the figures which others are selling for over $100 each!
