Today at the Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico, Hasbro has revealed 2 new figures which are:

• The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch Leia Boushh

• The Black Series 6-Inch Han Solo (Mudtrooper)

Hasbro has yet to send out any Press info to us, but our good friend Jake from 4-LOM to Zuckuss and the Toy Run Podcast on Facebook had coverage and was kind enough to share the photos which can be seen on our Facebook Page.

Just added the 3.75-Inch Qi'ra (Corellia) figure from the Solo Toy Line to our HD Photo Gallery. This figure has been out for a while and seems to be a bit of a peg warmer (at least at my local stores). The sculpt on this figure actually looks great for a 3.75-inch figure and has good articulation. She includes a Blaster.

Variations:
• 1st release - Card PN 00021536 & Instructions
• 2nd release - Card PN 00025426

Added to our Facebook Page, are some photos of the Target's Star Wars Toy Aisle reset at one of my local stores. There were only a few new items Like the Solo 3.75-Inch Vandor-1 Playset, FurReal's Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewy, and a empty spot for The Black Series 6-Inch Gamorrean Guard, which this store has sold out of twice already.

Forces of Destiny products have been fully removed from this new planogram. The rest of the products are the same old thing that has been warming the pegs and shelves for months and just don't seem to go away.

Found Target's Exclusive Solo: Vandor-1 Playset on the shelf today at my local Texas Target store (which just did a Toy Department Reset this week), but upon checking out I was denied purchasing it because it has a street date of 8/5. Price was $44.99 and the DPCI # for these is 087-16-0136.

No idea why there is a street date on this product since Solo: A Star Wars Story hit theaters a few months ago.

As previously announced Star Wars: Episode IX started filming today and J.J. Abrams Tweeted a Behind-The-Scenes Photo of what looks to be a camera pointed through a cockpit of a Ship and in the background you can see a out of focus Finn.

Here is his Tweet:
"Bittersweet starting this next chapter without Carrie, but thanks to an extraordinary cast and crew, we are ready to go. Grateful for @rianjohnson and special thanks to George Lucas for creating this incredible world and beginning a story of which we are lucky to be a part. #IX"

I still have yet to find this at any of my local brick and mortar stores, but is is available from online retailers like Amazon.

Been getting lots of emails and PMs asking whats going on with Target's Exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Gamorrean Guard so here is a break down.

• Online Orders - As we first reported yesterday (7/29) at 1:28AM CDT Target.com began to take orders and stated they had this figure in stock and ready to ship, which lasted about 5.5 hours (as of our post) before selling out. Today Target.com has sent out emails saying this item is now backordered with a estimated 8/9 - 8/20 delivery date. Previous to this the figure was offered on 7/23 and sold out in 5 - 10 minutes.

• In Store Pickup Orders - Target.com also offered in store pickups on 7/29 for those stores that showed stock. The only problem is most stores lists this product as “TE16” (No set location and needs to be transitioned in) and has no location in the stockroom. Reason being Target is resetting their Toy Department (this week) and these are sitting on a pallet somewhere with a bunch of other products in the stockroom and employees cant seem to find them. Since they cant find the product, local stores cancelled the in-store pickup orders and their stock was adjusted to 0, thats why most stores are showing sold out now.

• Finding In Store - Some stores did receive this figure already and have sold them (found them 7/18), while other stores have no idea where the product is in their stockroom because their status is “TE16” (No set location and needs to be transitioned in). The screenshot above shows a store that has received 4 figures on 7/25, had no sales, no locations, and their status shows sold out online. This means if you want to find this in store, you may have to do it the old fashion way and actually drive to your local stores.

Now Targets stores are resetting their Toy Department this week and this should flush out the figures from the stockroom, for those stores that have no idea where they are.



So what if your store actually had these figures and sold out? Target’s Warehouse have been sending more of this product to their stores. (one of my local stores that sold out just received a 2nd shipment).

Just a note, I don’t work for Target, but did talk to my contacts and local store managers and was given the above information. Hope it clears things up.

Just noticed that Target's Exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Gamorrean Guard is once again in stock at Target.com as of this post.

Not sure how fast these will sell out, so I would hurry on over and get your order in while you can.

Price is $29.99 each and it does not look like they put a limit on how many you can buy.

Disney and their PR Team was kind enough to send us a copy of Star Wars: Rebels Season 4 on Blu-ray to review. You will be able to purchase the home release of Rebels Season 4 on Blu-ray and DVD at most major retailers on July 31, 2018. This is the final season of Star Wars: Rebels.

Rating: US:
TVY7-FV, Bonus Material Not Rated CE: PG, CF: G

Total Episode Running Time:
353 Minutes (not including Bonus Material)

The purpose of this review is to focus on the video and audio quality of this Blu-ray Disc set and not review the individual episode story lines of Star Wars: Rebels Season 4. This year I am using a new Sony VPL-VW385ES 4K Projector that will throw an image on my 150” screen. These Blu-ray Disc will be played in a Sony UBP-X800 Ultra HD Player. For audio I will be using a Denon AVR-X6300H Receiver configured with a 11.2 speaker setup. The review will be short and straight to the point. 

Video / Picture Detail:
Codec: MPEG-4 AVC
Resolution: 1080p
Aspect ratio: 1.78:1

Star Wars: Rebels Season 4 on Blu-ray has a native resolution of 1080P, so I watched a few episodes in 1080P (non-upscaled) and as with most CG Animation Movies and TV shows the image was just awesome on the screen. The images had very vibrant and bold colors with deep blacks and no blurring or artifacts. Images were extremely sharp with clean edges. The lighting and shadow effects were top notch and I really have to applaud Lucasfilm for using some amazing texture effects in the environments, characters, vehicles, and etc that just gave the images that extra touch.

Today StarWars.com has announced the cast for Star Wars: Episode 9.

"Star Wars: Episode IX will begin filming at London’s Pinewood Studios on August 1, 2018. J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga. Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio.

Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, and Keri Russell, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.”

Composer John Williams, who has scored every chapter in the Star Wars saga since 1977’s A New Hope, will return to a galaxy far, far away with Episode IX."

Sneak Peek - TBS 6-Inch Enfys Nest

Just opened up The Black Series 6-Inch Enfys Nest's Swoop Bike to photograph and as a sneak peek I have uploaded HD Photos of  the Enfys Nest figure to our Facebook Page. Have to say the Swoop is much bigger then I thought. Will work on the rest of the photos soon.

Have yet to see this at local Brick and Mortar stores, but Amazon has it in stock for $59.99 if your interested. It is sold and shipped by Amazon.

Just finished photographing the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive The Vintage Collection TVC Doctor Aphra Comic Set and added it to our HD Photo Gallery tonight. Included in this Special Action Figure Set is Dr Aphra, BT-1 (Beetee), and 0-0-0 (Triple Zero).

The sculpt of Dr Aphra looks awesome. 0-0-0 (Triple Zero) may look familiar as he is just a repaint and BT-1 (Beetee) is a mix of old and new.

If you have interests in this set, you will have a chance to purchase it from HasbroToyShop on 8/13. Also Dr Aphra will be released on a single Vintage Collection card in the future as well.

Enjoy our large, clear, sharp HD Images that you wont find in other Photo Galleries or Archives.

Lots Of Exclusive TBS 6-Inch Clone Commander Wolffe Showing Up At Barnes & Noble

Just for the heck of it, I stopped by my local store today and they had 15 of these on the shelf. Price was $19.95 each.

Also as we first reported back on 7/19, BarnesandNoble.com has these in stock as well.

Wow was just on Amazon and noticed that they are taking preorders on The Black Series 6-Inch Enfys Nest with Swoop Bike for only $49.73 as of this post. Thats $10.26 off MSRP. These are sold and shipped by Amazon and the expected ship date is 7/25. Not a bad deal if your in need.

Well Target's Exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Gamorrean Guard was up for sale at about 4:10AM CDT this morning at Target.com, by the time I ran upstairs to turn on my Desktop to take a screen shot (above) and make a post it was down to just 3 and about 30 seconds after, it sold out and the status returned back to "Shipping temporarily out of stock".

Please remember the Target Store set date for this figure is 7/29, so they should be arriving at your local stores very very soon. Also I would assume that Target.com would offer these again at some point, so keep checking their site as well.

Added to our HD Photo Gallery this evening is Target's Exclusive Black Series 6-Inch Gamorrean Guard figure. He looks amazing in my opinion. The sculpt and articulation is just awesome. I know some people were not to thrilled about Hasbro including a opening mouth, but its not that bad. Also the brown highlights on his snout and lips don't look as pronounced to me as some of the images floating around the web (oversaturated colors).

Targets set date for this figure is 7/29, but they have already shown up early at a few stores this past week and have yet to go on sale at Target.com.
