If you're a fan of Star Wars and "Weird Al" Yankovic, here is a video of myself as Darth Vader along with 8 Stormtroopers taking the stage for his "The Saga Begins" performance from his The Strings Attached Concert last nite (6/15/2019). If you are going to watch the video, make sure your settings are set to watch in HD.

Our local 501st group was asked to attend and we had a blast.

Special thanks to "Jonathan Boulet" from Facebook for taking such a awesome video of the performance.

If you have any interest you can check out my Darth Vader 501st Facebook Page to view some other Troops we did in the past.

Star Wars Celebration Exclusive TBS 6-Inch Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Duel) - HD Photos

The Star Wars Celebration (Chicago) Exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Duel) figure has been added to our HD Photo Gallery. I have to say the head sculpt looks amazing and really looks like the actor Ewan McGregor. Hasbro packaged this figure on a Special 20th Anniversary Phantom Menace card just for Star Wars Celebration. If you missed out on this exclusive figure don't worry as it will be released very soon as a non-exclusive figure in the standard Black Series packaging.

Just noticed that Amazon is once again taking orders for The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch Emperor Palpatine single carded figure. This is shipped and sold by Amazon. Price is $9.81 each and it is currently listed as "Temporarily out of stock".

If you recall Amazon took preorders for these back on 10/12/2018 as we first reported, which sold out and and have yet to be fulfilled. I am a bit skeptical if Amazon will actually ever fill these preorders / orders, but its worth a shot since this figure was somewhat rare and never released in the USA on a single card. This figure was however available as part of Target's Exclusive Return of the Jedi 3-Pack that included the Emperor, Luke, and Royal Guard figures.

Just finished photographing The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch VC02 Princess Leia Organa (Hoth) figure and have added the photos to our our HD Photo Gallery. Hasbro has updated this figure with their "Photo Real Technology" and it looks pretty good. I personally think the side profile looks more like Carrie Fisher then the front profile. She includes a Blaster and a Removable Vest.

Target is now listing their shared Exclusive Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Wave 1 figures as discontinued. Above is a image confirming this. Per my source the warehouses for my area has 0 on hand and no future shipments are expected. My local stores has not had any of these for over a week or so now.

If you missed out on these at Target don't worry as these are a shared Exclusive and you will have a chance to buy them from online retailers later on in the Fall.

Just got a call from a Shop Disney (all Disney Retail Now Falls under Shop Disney as previous reported) Orders Manager about the my Disney's Merchandise Guest Services order I placed this morning for the Galaxy’s Edge Exclusive Black Series  6-Inch Figure Sets and she informed me that they can not fill the order. She stated that a memo was sent out not to take orders for these, but it was sent out after we first reported them as in stock this morning.

She did however state that these items along with other Galaxy Edge Exclusives will be available to order towards the end of July via, ShopDisney.com, Shop Disney App, and Disney's Merchandise Guest Services (subject to change).
