A quick reminder that the Walmart exclusive Black Series Purge Trooper (Phase II) and 1-JAC figures will be available for preorder this Thursday, July 21 at 10am ET as part of the Walmart Collector Con.
Be sure to follow us on social media (Twitter, Instagram, Patreon) and our LinkTree for instant notification on availability.
Hopefully you caught our social media notifications and announcements via Twitter, Instagram and Patreon as (per usual) Target and Hasbro resorted to a 3am ET product drop (on a Sunday) for the exclusive Vintage Collection Antoc Merrick’s X-wing. It lasted about 35-40 minutes.
Whew! That was a lot to take in for the first day, but I’d say overall that was one of the better Star Wars livestream events put on by the Hasbro team in some time. Even though there weren’t a lot of surprises, they did manage to show a decent amount of product for the brand that also covered many different parts of the Saga.

You may have missed our social media notifications via Instagram, Twitter and Patreon early this morning (especially those on the West Coast) you may have also missed the online release of the Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It was available for a couple of hours but it started disappearing from carts and then the page was removed from Walgreens.com altogether. Luckily there have been a a lot of retail sightings as well so hopefully this won’t prove to be as difficult as their last Black Series release.
Well, I’ve had a lot of requests to create a Patreon page for the site in recent weeks, and after some encouragement, I’ve decided to open one. First and foremost, thank you to all of the yakface.com followers (site and social media) for the kind words lately regarding keeping collectors up-to-date with the latest rumors and (disastrous) preorder launches. (It blows me away that corporations the size of Hasbro and Walmart can screw preorders up so badly and on so many levels.)
For the most part, the Patreon page will serve as a blog separate from the site with some more random thoughts but it will still include occasional previews of upcoming articles, rumors, announcements and more. Patreon members can also make content suggestions as well.
We’ll see how this goes as I do spend a lot of my free time hunting for unannounced product which I’m sure will interest you more than my ramblings anyway. Donate what you wantper month – there’s no tiered levels of content at this point.
Again, thank you for the kind words and an advanced thank you to those that donate/contribute to the page to support the site. MTFBWY.
