I love Yakface. Their reports are always welcomed and are usually always accurate. Here is a run down of 6” Black Series we can expect within the next year:
Some codes were discovered for Force Friday this year that will include Rise of Skywalker, Mandalorian and Fallen Order.
Hyperreal Luke Skywalker New ROTJ Luke Skywalker Force Ghost Yoda Yavin Luke Skywalker ESB Wedge Antilles Jar Jar Binks Count Dooku - FINALLY! Commander Bly
Plus other codes that haven’t been matched up with names yet. Honestly, I am a bit happy to hear Star Wars movies are taking a break for a few years. Gives the Black Series time to pump out a lot of characters we’ve all been waiting for!

Very upsetting. Just like the others we have lost. I got to meet him at Celebration when I was younger before Episode 2 came out. What a great guy. RIP, Chewie.

Snagged Grevious at Best Buy. Such a sick fig. Top contender for 2019 figure of the year, that’s for sure!

New 6” Palpatine revealed. New photo tech. Same figure but with full cloth accessories, an extra smiling sculpt, an angry sculpt, lightning hands and his THRONE!

got to open my Battle Droids, Grievous and Han Solo today, really like how Grievous came out, especially the little detail where you can put his sabers in the coat. The Battle Droids are fun to pose as well. Nice! Can’t tell by the pics, but the antenna on the backpacks also go up! I didn’t realize that until I saw someone else post it.

got my General Grievous delivered today, won't be able to open it until Monday since I'm away. My 3 Battle Droids should be there Monday as well with Mace & Han arriving Wednesday. Getting my Grievous in Monday. Can’t wait! Online pics look great. Got my Mace and Dryden in Wednesday. Now just waiting for the store exclusives for the spring and holding out hope I can snag the SWCelebration exclusives at a reasonable price.

Picked up Mace, Han, a battle droid, and two Padme at Target. Canceled my set from Big Bad. Still looking for Vos and Windu. Padme is an incredible looking figure

so I saw a Padme Black Series figure today at Target, I wanted to grab it so bad, but I passed, without the rest of the set there, I'd still have to manage to track it all down and I rather just wait for Dorkside at this point. UNLESS of course I find all in 1 shot. Nevermind in my last post! Found them at a Target today, minus Windu and Vos, so I took the other 4. On your hunt, if you find the two I need, let me know and I’ll give you a bit extra if you pick them up for me!

Really glad Hasbro decided to do more new figures per case. Old assortments were rough with 2-3 new and al others repacked.

Hasbro better take note for 6” HasLab funding. I would absolutely buy anything 6”, but a Snowspeeder or ATST are instant buys for me!

Just recently got into the Marvel Legends line. I'm more of a MCU fan than the comics, so I'm going to keep my collection contained to that area. What are some of people's favorites/must haves, and where is the best place to start tracking these older ones down? All opinions welcome, especially with Spiderman and Captain America, there seem to be so many options! The best Evans likeness is the newer 2 pack with Crossbones, but Cap has great figs, just your preference of what look you prefer. There’s also quite a few MCU figs I’ll be unloading (I changed from being an MOC collector so I have a LOT of doubles)...might be able to help ya out. Let me know what you may have MCU related for sale 😬

Random question after reading about the DC/Mattel stuff in recent days ... does anyone think Mattel has a legitimate shot of landing the Star Wars line in 2020? I'm not a big fan of the Black Series (twice built up collections only to sell them and focus on Hot Toys ... once I got Hot Toys it ruined just about everything else, lol) ... but I am a fan of the Mattel body type from all these years with WWE and would love to see them get a shot at the line. Then again, maybe Mattel's recent financial/layoff issues make this a longshot? I don’t see that happening at all. I remember an article over the summer came out from I think entertainment weekly. It stated that Star Wars is the most expensive toy license to hold. If Mattel wanted to buy Star Wars, they’d have to offer more than Hasbro and I don’t think they are at a point to be able to afford that. Also, Hasbro is currently making Star Wars and Marvel Figures; two of Disney’s hot properties. I am sure Disney has some sort of deal worked out with Hasbro that covers a pretty large spectrum. If I am correct, I believe Hasbro also makes some of the other Disney related merchandise too. Overall, despite what a lot of people seem to believe about the Star Wars product, Hasbro is excelling at it. They aren’t lacking in any major portion of it, so A) it wouldn’t be financially beneficial for Mattel to try and obtain the license and B) I don’t think Hasbro will be dropped any time soon unless they start to take a Jakks WWE route and nclude figures with no accessories.

X-Wing Luke was hard to find? He was a pegwarmer here. Originally, Wave 1 warmed everywhere, but the after market value on them is 5 or 6 times what they were selling for in stores.

Saw the archive x-wing Luke at Target last week. First I heard about those. Yup! Hasbro releasing the hard to find figures again, but with the new photo-real tech. Luke, Boba, Bossk and IG88 are wave 1. Wave 2 is Yoda, Anakin, Scout Trooper and rumored Darth Maul.
