A Week Before Christmas…

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!

One. More. Week. On this episode of The Realm Recap, Flyguy and I discuss the latest in Star Wars collecting. There have been a slew of product leaks and discoveries since our last show, and one of them in particular has drawn the legal forces of the First Order Disney. We also break down the latest announcements from Sideshow and Hot Toys, LEGO and a great preview of new figures from S.H.Figuarts. All this and more in this jammed-packed Episode 84 of The Realm Recap!

UPDATE: Disney/Lucasfilm Threatens Legal Action Over Rey Figure Leak

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*.
