This is one of those things that seems too big to be as under-reported as it is. Nevertheless, the site iKwiz is reporting that JJ Abrams asked Disney to move up the release date of The Force Awakens and Disney is considering a summer release. This makes me as happy as the Patriots winning the Super Bowl (suck it, haters).
Well wonders will never cease. The first of the virtually non-existent Rebels vehicles has shown up on Hasbro Toy Shop. The AT-DP is now available and in stock (not a pre-order). Combine that with the code 15OFF which was provided by our own Darth Mire and you will get (drum roll) 15% off.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives and Yakface have already been on the case of reporting upcoming case assortments, and we too can now join the fray and corroborate their reports. Click through for what we’ve learned about upcoming Black Series, Mission Series and Saga Legends assortments.

In what has been the most drawn out and staggered post holiday reset in my memory, my local WM finally revamped the action figure aisle and unsurprisingly The Black Series 3.75” is on clearance for $7.00. Is Walmart dropping the SKU (again!) or are they clearing the decks for the awesome figures we saw at NYCC that are due next month? It could be anything. One this is for sure: EVERYBODY DRINK!
Our own Duke alerted us that some more 2015 Star Wars LEGO sets were revealed at Toy Fair UK. There are some very cool sets including, what is in my opinion, a must have Throne Room Duel Set. Click through for the pics.
I spoke with a mid-level retailer this morning who had an interesting tidbit about his order for wave 1 of the Saga Legends (Rebels) assortment. Click through for the details.

Since our hugely unimportant hobby seems to be tugged at by endless factors that really are important, I thought I would pass this along. Target Canada announced that they will be closing all 133 stores just under two years after its launch.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives has confirmed listings of which figures will be included in the next waves of 3.75” Black Series. These are waves 1 and 2 of 2015 with wave 1 expected in March (ugh).
New product is showing up, but it’s not coming from Hasbro. Check your local Toys R Us stores as the 2015 Star Wars LEGO sets are showing up. Click through for the pics.

Rebelscum has gotten a hold of the product list for The Force Awakens. While the descriptions don’t offer specifics at this point or indication of how well the figures will be articulated, it does paint the picture of a broad product spectrum including vehicles at a heretofore unthinkable scale. Check it out.
You’ve been a good gift giver this season (I assume), so now it’s time to treat yourself. Entertainment Earth has up to 95% off certain items in their year end clearance sale. One thing that immediately jumps out is the Gentle Giant Han Solo Hoth Jumbo Kenner Figure for $37.20! Hit the “Click through” link to get your shop on while the turkey cooks. But don’t eat it too soon, or you’ll get worms.
Hopefully Santa has sufficiently armed you to fend off Black Bart and his band of bandits.
Take a look at these pictures posted by the site Take Five A Day. They estimate that these ships are about 4” in size. They look a tad smaller to me. Could this be a revival of the Titanium scaled vehicles?
