Here we are, just a couple weeks away from Christmas – and there are warning signs all over that The Black Series may be in trouble.

Retailers simply aren’t stocking anything past the first wave of 3.75″ scale figures even during the holiday season, while online stores like Amazon are marking down figures from the first two waves for as little as $2.55 each.   This doesn’t seem to bode well for the future of this line.  Head on over to the forums and share your thoughts… and it’s not like we didn’t warn Hasbro of these concerns when they first revealed their lineup for the first two waves…

Holiday Special Screening in Minneapolis Tonight

Tonight, I will officially (and willingly) for the first time subject myself to a 35th Anniversary viewing of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. It is being presented at the Bryant Lake Bowl/Theatre here in downtown Minneapolis at 7pm and at 10pm (I’ll be at the 10pm showing). Admission to the event is an unwrapped toy donation to Toys for Tots.
