Join Flyguy and Yakface as we break down the latest in collecting news from Hasbro including details for the next 2 waves of 6″ figures. Marvel unleashed Star Wars #1 and its dizzying number of variants this week and we discuss our favorites and the ones we acquired. The Force Awakens gets a few updates as well with casting rumors and new concept art. Finally, we wrap things up with our reviews and acquisitions for the past week. All this and much more on Episode 48 of The Realm Recap!
We have a new rumor regarding the next two waves of 6″ Black Series figures. All of the figures are known so far but we have clarity on who is in what wave. Click on through for the breakdown.
Toy runs at places like Wal-Mart and Target may be a complete waste of time for most of us, but if you have Walgreens stores in your area, it’s definitely worth swinging by to see what the situation is.
Most stores receive at least one delivery each week, and are often getting in a few Black Series figures with each shipment – just today, reader Darth Stringfield spotted at one Walgreens store a more interesting selection of figures than I’ve seen at all the local Target stores combined over the past year.
How are those Store Finds going? Let us know in the forums!
If you are active in our forums, chances are you’ve seen the amazing custom dioramas and playsets by forum member EMPIRE. But now, he’s taken it to the next level – by converting an entire ROOM into a custom playset. Head on over to the forums and check out this masterpiece – it’s one of the most jaw dropping Star Wars projects you will ever see.
The Target Exclusive AT-DP with AT-DP Driver now has a placeholder page on their website. It is currently unavailable for order but its listing should give indication that we can expect it in the next couple weeks. Remember, this item shares a DPCI (087-06-1832) with other exclusive and non-exclusive Class II vehicles so a DPCI will not guarantee finding a store with this set.
Our various sponsors are now taking preorders for the next assortment of Deluxe 6″ Black Series figures. This case include 2 Han Solo and Tauntaun sets and repack of the Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper. Order yours today at Big Bad Toy Store, DorksideToys or Entertainment Earth.
A new exclusive 6″ figure variant coming to Walgreens? Very probable as our friends at Star Wars Action Newsspeculate based on a tweet by Steven Anne from Walgreens. Who could it be? Vader? Luke? The Emperor?
UPDATE: We’ve included the original tweet and a “shocking” response from Steven Anne via our friend, Matt Guzy. Again, this isn’t confirmation, but a fun bit of speculation that may have some traction.
Forum member Jodo has posted another good read on his blog about the issues we as collectors are facing these days (a follow up to his previous article).

Personal Note: Hopefully Hasbro gets things back on track with the Episode VII launch!
