In what probably foretells the upcoming reset and not a harbinger of the collector line’s prophesied doom, the 3.75” Black Series line is on clearance at some Walmart stores.

Our friends at Yakface are reporting that the 18 figure “re-launch” case for the Black Series 3.75” line has been cancelled. This marks the second time that solicitations for an atypical cases size were taken and then soon cancelled. The 8 figure 6” line assortment received a similar fate.
I thought this was pretty neat. A group in Riverside, CA have formed an exercise group the revolves around lightsaber duels. It’s a good read for the benefits the group gives to its member above just fitness. How long before Beach Body comes out with a Saber Fitness series?
