Walgreens.com has now, finally, started processing and shipping orders for those that “preordered” the Prototype Boba Fett back in July, so check your inboxes for shipping notifications. Question is, does anyone need it any more?

Plus, we get confirmation on a few additional 6” and 3.75 Black Series figures for 2015 and some that have been cancelled.
