This week on The Realm Recap, Stephen (from Flyguy.net) and I look back on the week’s news covering new (and old) Black Series products hitting shelves, the continued lack of Star Wars Rebels products plus an amazing Vintage mother load that went up for auction recently. Gentle Giant sets a Vintage trap of their own with the Jumbo Kenner Admiral Ackbar, and we touch on the huge Episode VII spoiler image dump.
DorksideToys has officially launched their preorders for the Black Series Wave 6 which includes Yoda, TIE Pilot, Clone Trooper Sergeant, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also available is a single 6″ Obi-Wan is a mental $7.99 each. That ain’t a typo. Please do spread the word as we think a very fair deal!

As we reported earlier this week, Walmart will be getting an exclusive 4 pack of Black Series 6″ figures soon, Walmart.com.mx now has this listed on their site for $889.00 pesos (about $65 US).
Walgreens.com has now, finally, started processing and shipping orders for those that “preordered” the Prototype Boba Fett back in July, so check your inboxes for shipping notifications. Question is, does anyone need it any more?
We were sent this image this morning of an upcoming 6″ Black Series Exclusive Pack which includes repacks of 4 figures: Han, Slave Leia, Boba Fett and Greedo. Look for an update soon with more info on where (probably Costco or Sam’s Club) you can find this and when.
UPDATE:Juan Carlo sends us word that he found this at a Walmart in Monterrey Mexico for $999 Pesos ($77 US). No word yet on US distribution.
Disney Store is holding their Star Wars Rebels in-store event this weekend offering free prizes and activities at scheduled times (see stores for details). But there are also sales to be had as they are offering Hasbro TBS 6″ figures for only $7.49 each.
We’ve added some new high-res images (for documentation/archiving purposes) of the soon-to-be-released “Wave 6″ in the Black Series assortments of 3-3/4″ and 6” figures. Nothing technically “new”, but new to us. Click on through to check them out.
On this very special episode of The Realm Recap, Flyguy and I give our first impressions of all that was revealed from Hasbro at their NYCC ’Twas the Night Before Party. There is a lot to take in this year (for a nice change of pace) with several new offerings from 6” and 3.75” Black Series line, 3.75” Saga Legends/Rebels line and Mission Series assortment. Plus, we get confirmation on a few additional 6” and 3.75 Black Series figures for 2015 and some that have been cancelled.
