With Episode 7’s release almost here, there’s no doubt that many kids are going to NOT be able to receive a Captain Phasma figure for Christmas due the relative scarcity of this Hasbro figure.
However, she’s also showing up in the new “Armor Up” wave which is now being found at Toys”R”us stores, so be on the lookout if you’re still hoping to get this figure in time as a gift ($14.99 though, yikes!).
Two more days until the official release of The Force Awakens and with that, Sideshow has revealed their Premium Format Kylo Ren figure. Look for preorders in early 2016.
Tomorrow night, many of us will be seeing the highly anticipated new film, but what’s the retail situation looking like with only about a week before Christmas?
Our focus on this post is really around what’s on the pegs at Wal-Mart, due to their exclusive rights to the 3.75″ Black Series line that most collectors (and yes, even many KIDS) want to get their hands on… we’re seeing reports come in across the continental U.S. that even Wave 3 is showing up in some areas, but sadly, it appears that some Wal-Mart stores have declined to carry this line past the initial wave… even removing space for the figures.
What’s the scoop in your area? Share your experiences (good and bad) after the jump!

Yak face Reader Ian A writes in with a fantastic 6″ Black Series find at Toys”R”Us in Ontario.
Long-time visitor of the site. Today I stopped by my local Toys R Us in Ontario, Canada, and picked up four new Black Series figures: Resistance Trooper, First Order TIE Pilot, Finn as a Stormtrooper and the Flametrooper.
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.
