Check out AllPosters.com where you can find a TON of great Star Wars merch on sale. There is a 45% off sale going on until tomorrow night and they have a lot of new The Last Jedi Merch including Posters, Shirts, Cardboard Stands and anything you can think of! Plus, they’re at pretty great prices. I actually really like some of the posters below. I shared the Chewie/Porg poster for someone I know really enjoys Porgs! 😉 You can also see all the other Star Wars merch they have here.

With all of the focus on Force Friday II stuff that was released, we wanted to remind you that Entertainment Earth salvaged two items that could have gone the way of the dinosaurs. You can order essentially limitless amounts of Fenn Rau and the Bistan/Shoretrooper Captain Two-Packs set, both from the Rogue One line! Both items still show a December delivery!

Bright orange tags with descriptors like “reduced” mean something is on clearance right? Well, the Star Wars [The Last Jedi] 3.75″ line is doomed then because we have an example of JTA reader Hazzbro Jonez finding the new figures for quite a good deal.

You can now order The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Jaina Solo at Gamestop.com with a release date of December 10th. I’m not sure if that is the actual date or not because I was told November in store. We’ll keep you updated!

Well, we have all heard by now that JJ Abrams has taken over for Colin Trevorrow as the Director of Episode IX, but THR also found out that he basically screwed over Paramount and a 10-Million Dollar obligation in order to take on the Star Wars project. You can read more about it at TheHollywoodReporter.com. Geeze, drama has become constanty associated with Disney’s Star Wars movies! (although TLJ has been pretty smooth, knock on wood!)

The second annual Play Fair event is taking place on 11/4 and 11/5 at the Javits Center in NYC. This year’s event will be more than double in size with new activities, bigger features, and greater ways for children, parents, teenagers, and fans to play! Play Fair gathers more than 40 exhibitors, including LEGO, Cartoon Network, Hasbro, Nickelodeon, Alex Brands, Midtown Comics, and presenting sponsors Spin Master and Toys “R” Us for a celebration of play and entertainment for all ages. Unlike Toy Fair, the public is invited to join in on the fun & games at Play Fair, which includes larger hands-on exhibits and demonstrations, awe-inspiring displays, talent appearances, dozens of toy and entertainment brands, and never-before-seen exclusives. Attendees can feel, touch, and take home their favorite toys and games — and be the first to glimpse the toys of tomorrow! Play Fair is located at 655 West 34th Street in Hall 1A and 1B.

You saw our report on the next case assortment for The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ lineup. But there seems to be another list floating around as JTA sponsor BBTS has a different assortment listed than what Entertainment Earth and our other sponsors and sources have. Instead of Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master), Rey (Jedi Training) and Kylo Ren the other lists substitutes these figures for Captain Poe Dameron, Finn (First Order Disguise) and General Leia Organa. We think this “differing” case assortment is worlds better. What you do you think?
UPDATE: Big Bad Toy Store has updated their case assortment to the same as what we had initially reported to you.

If you have a Walgreens card, The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ figures are on sale for $14.99 each Special thanks to JTA reader cress for the alert.

It’s raining cancellations! In what is sure to be a devastating blow to collectors waiting in anticipation for The Black Series [Star Wars 40] Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2), some of our readers are receiving the dreaded email from Amazon that their long-delayed figures are ultimately being cancelled. Hasbro also stated in the Star Wars Action News article that Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) and Han Solo were two figures still coming, so this is definitely upsetting news. Click through to read the email going out to some collectors. Special thanks to JTA reader Matthew N. for sharing his experience with us.

We have seen reports of the new Walgreens Exclusive The Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi [Force Spirit] 6″ showing up in stores in North Carolina and now in California. It might be time to start making those Walgreen stops. I know, I know…They’re difficult trips to make. I share the same experience many of you do with stores that get them 3 months late or never at all, but let the hunt begin! Have you found it in your area? Let us know!

A recent rumor has popped up claiming that someone was seen on set wearing the famous suit during filming. There are no images of this as of now, but according to comicbookmovie.com their source is reliable. The question is, do we NEED Darth Vader in the Han Solo movie? Yes…He was used expertly in Rogue One and some may argue he had some of the best scenes, but I personally don’t think he should be stuck in every anthology film just for the sake of using him. It may water down the impact that Vader has. What are your thoughts on this rumor? Do you think we really need to see Vader in this film? In other news, Ron Howard teases us with a possible Kessel Run. Check out more of that info here at CBR.com

It’s hard to believe, but the HASCON exclusive Clone Captain Rex hasn’t budged that much on eBay as far as what it is commanding, despite being available for nearly 45 minutes on Hasbro Toy Shop today. The question is how low will he go?

JTA sponsor Dorkside Toys has a ton of brand new The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ figures that are significantly reduced in price. While marked as “NON MINT” I can attest that the packages are in brilliant, almost perfect condition (from my own personal experience). Some incredible steals include 6″ Hera, Syndulla, Darth Vader, Rey (Jedi Training), Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) and Kylo Ren $15.99 EACH and Rey’s Speeder (Jakku) for $42.99. Spend $69 or more and get FREE SHIPPING. All other orders pay only a $4 FLAT SHIPPING cost. Get them before they’re gone at these incredible prices!
