We received a report that Walmart has purchased much of the remaining stock from Toys”R”Us here in the U.S. and is planning on having a special reset to offer items in stores. No word if this includes exclusive items like the 6″ Captain Phasma (Quicksilver Baton), Zuckuss and the like, but it is not out of the realm of possibility. Hopefully this will all be cleared up at SDCC.

Thanks to Ben R. for the image.
