UPDATE 7/23/2020 -  Great News!

Target’s Exclusive Galaxy’s Edge Merch

In the wee hours of the morning, Starwars.com released an announcement about Galaxy's Edge-themed merchandise coming to Target stores on August 30th. These exclusives include three different Hasbro items consisting of two 6" figures and one very large 3 3/4" vehicle. Rumored for many months now, Captain Cardinal and DJ-R3X will be joining The Black Series and after years of speculation and requests, the BMF aka the Legacy Falcon will be re-released with some upgrades to reflect the version found in the Disney Parks. As exciting as these sets are, the hype surrounding them quickly faded as many fans and collectors (mostly on the West Coast) were left a bit stunned as these items became available for pre-sale at 6 AM PST and sold-out [...]

The Kenner Cameo in Galaxy’s Edge

As stated yesterday, we have returned from our Summer vacation from the Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland! As one might expect our main reason for going was to immerse ourselves in the new world of Batuu! The Black Spire Outpost in Galaxy's Edge is full of an insane number of Star Wars references from all over fandom. The experience visiting the marketplace, Oga's Cantina, Hondo's Ohnaka Transport Solutions and Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities is truly magical for any fan of the Star Wars universe. But it should go without saying, one of the details found in Dok-Ondar's shop stood out to use beyond all others. Just over the shoulder of Dok himself sits a Kenner cameo going back to 1979! Blue Snaggletooth's head and trademark belt [...]

New Droid Depot Droid Factory Info & Images

With just 10 days until the official opening of Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland, we are getting excited not just an amazing immersive Star Wars experience but for the latest additions to the Star Wars Droid Factory line. As revealed at Star Wars Celebration Chicago last month, two new multi-packs and a playset will be joining the line which has been in continual production since 2012. In speaking with the designers of this line, we were able to confirm that the 3 3/4" Build-a-Droid line will continue but not as a part of Galaxy's Edge or the Droid Depot. We also learned that there will be another upcoming Holiday exclusive droid and as the holiday season for Disney begins in August, it is unclear on which holiday [...]
