Our show returns this week as Flyguy and I discuss the latest in Star Wars news and collecting. A quiet week overall but it livened up a bit with the release of new images from Hasbro for the Black Series line and talks of a merger between them and DreamWorks. Sideshow announces the imminent preorder of our favorite protocol droid, while ANOVOS reveals new Imperial Officer duds for cosplay fans. All this and more on Episode 40 of The Realm Recap.

Also, if you prefer an audio-only version, a downloadable MP3 is available as well.
The Empire needs loyal officers to maintain peace and order through the galaxy! A pre-requisite for this task is the proper uniform — and for that, you may look no further than our Premier Line Imperial Officer Offerings!
Available in Officer Olive or Staff Black, the Premier Line Imperial Officer Uniform Package comes with the distinctive officer cap, jacket, and Jodphur-style pant, all being made from specially-dyed military-grade cavalry twill wool, replicated from the same fabrics used for the original uniforms.
Designed with costumers in mind, features include a self-aligning helmet (using magnets and keyed locking mechanisms), a built-in helmet ventilation system, reinforced shoulder bell hinges, and strategically placed ventilation mesh in both the Premier and Standard edition undersuits. ANOVOS has also maintained film-accurate details such as an asymmetrical mask, two-tone paint scheme, and 100 percent wool crepe cape.
EFX Collectibles has sent word that beginning on July 8th at 9am PT pre-orders will go live for their Limited Edition Scout Trooper Helmet. Price: $699.00 + shipping and handling with two pre-ordering options.
