In another case of Walmart being Walmart, it appears that some Walmart stores have already relegated the Black Series Commander Cody to clearance. This often happens when stores receive product ahead of their reset and instead of hanging on to the product, they rush it to the clearance aisle. This isn’t everywhere and you’d have to be lucky to find them but if you do, do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

In celebration of their 29th Anniversary, affiliate Entertainment Earth is exclusively offering the Return of the Jedi Retro Collection 6 pk today at 1pm ET.
This set includes Gamorrean Guard, Admiral Ackbar, Yak Face, Mon Mothma, Wicket and Emperor’s Royal Guard.
Yakface Forums member coeli has shared images of an absolute customizing masterpiece in the forums.
He took the Young Jedi Adventures Crimson Firehawk, and with some styrene and rework, re-imagined this toy to be something that fits in great with the 1:18 scale universe.
Head on over to the forums for a closer look!
Based on previously leaked parts (bottom images) for TBS Ronin and R5-D56, there will be different versions of the figures released outside of the Celebration Japan set 2pk. Exclusive versions are more monochromatic and the Ronin has soft goods, while the “standard” version features plastic robes and R5 has a brown Kasa hat.
