The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch General Leia Organa - HD Photos

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

For those that like to collect paint errors, I just found one on The Black Series 6" 50: Elite Praetorian Guard figure. Instead of his shoulder armor being painted dark red to match the rest of his armor, it was painted a pinkish color instead.

At first I thought the one I found might just be a one off, but I was able to find a dozen or so at my local Walmarts with this paint error, most of them being found on their Star Wars Pallet display. I also found a transition figure with 1 red and 1 pink painted shoulder armor as well, which was a bit harder to find (only found 3).

Paint Errors:
• 1 Pink Shoulder Armor and 1 red (Date Stamp 72301)
• 2 Pink Shoulder Armor (Date Stamp 72441)

You can see the paint error above. The Photo was taken with my iPhone, which is a bit bright. The paint error is really noticable in hand, so you will know if you found one.

As you noticed for the past year and a half I have pretty much taken a break from photography and have not updated our HD Photo Gallery as frequently as I have in our past years. Reason being we had 2 new additions to the family and between everyday life and the new additions my time was spread pretty thin, so had to take a break until things normalized again. In my down time though I did manage to create new photo filters and custom digital tools to improve our already impressive HD Photos which I have used for the first time with The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch DJ (Canto Bight) figure. Our new HD Photos will concentrate on quality over quantity. Most photos will be at least 2500 pixels in height, so make sure you take advantage of that by making sure your browser is displaying the full sized image.

Anyways added to our HD Photo Gallery today is The Last Jedi 3.75-Inch DJ (Canto Bight) figure. He includes a Removable Jacket and Blaster. Enjoy!

My local Texas Walmart received another Star Wars Pallet Display today, but this time it included Black Series 3.75" figures, 6" figures, and The Last Jedi 3.75" Deluxe sets. But before you get to excited The Black Series 3.75" figures were mainly previous peg warmers that can still be found down the action figure isle at some Walmarts. The Black Series 3.75" figures on the display were Ahsoka, Ackbar, Imperial Guard, Imperial Death Trooper, Jyn, and Lando. There were no sign of The Last Jedi figures Rose, Luke, First Order Stormtrooper Executioner, or Elite Praetorian Guard. As for The Black Series 6" figures, it was the Maz wave.

Kind of disappointing that Walmart is not receiving the newer waves of 3.75" and 6" Black Series figures.

Walmart's Exclusive TBS 6" Kylo Ren Throne Room - In Store Only & Info Update

Walmart.com has updated their product page for their Exclusive Black Series 6" Kylo Ren Throne Room. It now states "This item is only sold at a walmart store", so not sure if it will make it online or not. Their tool to find these in stores is now live as well, just look for Pickup and click "see more stores" and enter your zip-code.

I contacted Walmart's PR and they said these should hit retail stores mid December, so hopefully that happens and we will see them next week some time.

Remember you heard it here first!

EA:
Things kick into high gear on December 13. Your favorite stormtrooper-turned-hero Finn joins the fight for the Resistance and Captain Phasma steps on to the Battlefront for the First Order. They can be purchased with in-game Credits from that week. Whichever faction is victorious in completing the most challenges that week will net a reward as well: a special Crate of high-power upgrades for Finn or Captain Phasma.

New locations and vehicles will also arrive. On December 13, the cinematic content from Star Wars™: The Last Jedi continues with a new planetary map: Crait. The Starfighter Assault map of D'Qar will join as well, plus a new hero ship – Tallie Lintra's RZ-2 A-wing. Poe Dameron’s T-70 X-wing is also upgraded with a new ability inspired by Star Wars™: The Last Jedi .

Iden Versio returns. In Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II Resurrection, you’ll join Commander Iden Versio during the days of the First Order’s rise to power. These new chapters of Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II’s single-player story mode will be available December 13.

Your choice of faction will continue to matter. Throughout December, you'll see your chosen faction's progress reflected in-game, as you fight alongside allies from around the world to swing the tide of battle.

Stopped by my local Texas Target store today and found 8 of their Exclusive Black Series 6" Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) on Ahch-To Island figures on the shelf. Also readers have been sending in reports of finding these at their local stores as well from Coast to Coast.

This item keeps bouncing in and out of stock at Target.com as well. Also on the product page you can use the "find in store" tool to see if your locals stores have them in stock.

Happy Hunting!

Target's Exclusive Black Series TBS 6" Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) on Ahch-To Island has begun to arrive at doorsteps from Target.com. I ordered mine when we first posted it being available in the early AM on December 1st and choose free shipping and received mine today. I ordered 2 and they arrived in a over-sized shipping box and were mint.

These look to be out of stock at the moment at Target.com, but they have already started to hit some local stores across the Nation. Still waiting on them at my local stores, but should hit the shelves this week.

Barnes and Noble is currently having a 30% Off Black Series Products. The sale is good in stores and also online. I did some spot checking on their website and it looks like the discount applies to figures, Vehicles, Lightsabers and etc. Thanks to reader "Darth Rico" for the alert and photos!

Yesterday we posted about Walmart receiving new Star Wars Product Pallet Displays for the Holiday Shopping Season, but my local store had broke down the display and stocked the shelves with the product, so couldn't get a picture of the Display. Well stopped at another local store this morning and they received 2 of these Displays (same products on both) so I snapped a picture for those interested in what it looks like.

As we stated last week, Walmart stores are suppose to start to receive their new Exclusive Funko POP Star Wars Move Moments this week and sure enough my local Texas store just received them today.

There are a total of 4 new sets which are:
• Cantina Faceoff
• Death Star Duel
• Escape Pod Landing
• Trash Compactor Escape

My local store had a full end cap of them located in the main isle by the Home Department. I don't typically buy these myself, but I really wanted the Death Star Duel.

Happy Hunting.
