IMG_6753With just one day left until the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens we are beyond excited to learn which Hasbro vehicles, build-a-weapons and characters will actually have screen-time in Episode VII. In just over 24 hours fans and collectors will be able to begin creating accurate displays, dioramas and new ways of organizing their figures (Jakku, Starkiller Base, etc.)!

Like many of you we’ll be seeing the film with some great collectors and friends and the Force in Seattle is so strong that SARLACC even had premiere t-shirts made!

The great thing about collecting during a movie year is that there is typically a steady stream of figures to hunt for and especially during the holidays. We like many others on the West Coast are actively looking for the Waves 2 and 3 of the Wal*Mart Exclusive Black Series line.

Doh! We missed them this morning by 5 minutes the cashier said!

While we were hoping to have these figures by the time TFA debuted, the excitement of seeing the film in such a short time has us thoroughly distracted.
