The Wal*Mart Dilemma

This past week many collectors across the country have begun to find in stores and/or be delivered their Wal*Mart preorders of the exclusive Retro Collection wave two based on The Empire Strikes Back. For those finding them in stores, it appears only some Wal*Marts are placing these on pegs as many have chosen to simply stack them on the shelves. Regardless of the stocking of these figures they both appear to both be generally mint when found in stores and unfortunately for many to disappear from shelves fairly quickly. Stores appear to be getting one or two cases of the figures in this initial release.

Happy May the 4th 2020

Happy Star Wars Day! This year for all of us, celebrating May the 4th will be a little different from year's past. We typically host an event at our middle school and attend a Mariners or Rainers Star Wars Night but with most of the country staying home we will be celebrating distantly. But the great thing about Star Wars is the magic happens no matter the number of fans around. We plan on celebrating today in the following ways: Watching the series finale of The Clone Wars on Disney+ Watching Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian also on Disney+ Joining a Microsoft Team Meeting with Anthony Daniels Checking in on the numerous live-tweeting Star Wars events courtesy of Emerald City Comic Con Opening some Star Wars [...]
