Found - The Black Series 6-Inch C-3PO #29 Variant

Looks like Hasbro has decided to change the color of C-3PO's left arm from red to a dark maroon color. The first version (Date Stamp 62301) had the normal red left arm, while the second version (Date Stamp 62501) has the darker maroon left arm. Happy Hunting!

Target Using Older DPCI # for TBS 6-Inch Wave 8

Found some of The Black Series 6" Wave 8 (C-3PO, Scarif Stormtrooper, Krennic, & etc) at Target this afternoon here in Texas. Upon ringing them up I noticed that Target has gone back to using the older Black Series 6" DPCI# 087-06-3953 which was used for previous waves of The Force Awakens figures.

So if you trying to find Wave 8, try asking employees to check stock using DPCI# 087-06-3953 and not DPCI#087-06-8009 that is currently being used for TBS 6" wave 7 Rogue One figure assortment.

If you subscribe to Netflix, check out the documentary "I Am Your Father" which is about David Prowse and his role as Darth Vader.

"Our story begins when a young filmmaker travels to London to propose that David Prowse reshoot a sequence from the legendary trilogy. A sequence he couldn't shoot thirty years earlier and which deprived him from being as well known as the other leading members of the cast, such as Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher or Mark Hamill. The goal is to repair an injustice for the thousands of fans who believe that David Prowse should have played Darth Vader in that particular scene. In a symbolic way, the director, assisted by a group of enthusiastic fans, will try to give Prowse back the recognition he never had.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We hope everyone is having a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Spent the morning and afternoon performing as Darth Vader along with other 501st Legion friends in the Houston Thanksgiving Parade which was televised on CBS and other media outlets. I didn't have time to rip the video yet, but you can check out a quick video I took with my iPhone and posted to our Facebook Page, if you wish.

Kanan Jarrus (Stormtrooper Disguise) 3.75-Inch Paint Variant / Error

I just noticed that there is a Paint Variant / Error hitting the pegs for the Kanan Jarrus 3.75" figure. Some figure's pauldron were painted orange while the others were painted a mustard color.

I took a quick photo to show a comparison, but the lighting maybe to bright for some to clearly see, but in hand the differences are very evident.

The Black Series 6-Inch Rollback Again

My local Houston Walmart's have once again reduced the price of The Black Series 6" figures. The price has dropped from $18.84 to $16.82. Not sure if this is Nationwide or not.

Its no surprise that these are not selling well anymore and prices are dropping due to each store getting a stockpile of the first wave which only consisted of 5 new figures. Hopefully the Christmas season will clean out all this old stock so wave 2 & 3 can make it to the pegs soon.

Disney's Elite Series Premium Rey and Kylo Ren Not Too Shabby

Stopped by my local Disney Store this afternoon to look at their new Elite Series Premium Rey and Kylo Ren figures first hand, and actually they are not bad at all in my opinion.

I know some people already don't like these and I didn't expect to either, but the quality of these look to be pretty good. I have yet to take them out of the box and check them out more, but the initial impression so far is positive.

I took some quick preview photos of the boxes and posted them on our Facebook Page so you can kind of judge for yourself.

Found - Walgreens Exclusive TBS 6-Inch C-3PO & On Sale!

The Walgreens Exclusive Black Series 6" C-3PO has finally started to trickle into the Houston area stores this week. There are about 20+ stores within 25 miles of my zip code, but only 2 stores had them in stock as of today per the manager I spoke to. Each store only received 6 figures. Be on the look out as these should start showing up everywhere.

If you would like to check your local stores to see if these are in stock, give them a call and nicely ask them to check WIC# 949804. This "WIC#" is specific to the C-3PO figure and not a assortment. So if they say they have 6, that means they actually have 6 C-3PO figures.

Another bonus is if you can find them this week they are on sale for $14.99 each for those that are Rewards members.

While not widely advertised by Lucasfilm for some reason, Star Wars: The Force Awakens Blu-ray [3D] Collector's Edition is getting released tomorrow 11/15/16 at most major retailers. This is a 4 disc set and includes some additional bonus features like an outtake from the massacre on Jakku. Looks like most retails are selling it for around $29.99 this week.
