You may have caught this news hours ago on our Facebook page, but we decided to add it to our front page. After months of speculation, Lucasfilm confirmed today that Donald Glover (Atlanta, Community, The Martian) has been cast as a young Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Han Solo movie. If Lando had to be recast, Glover seems like a good choice. Head over to StarWars.com for the full story and let us know what you think in our comments! 

Robot Kingdom is now taking pre-orders for Jyn Erso and Imperial Death Trooper 3.75" Walmart exclusive figures. These two figures may represent wave 6 of the line with the other two probably coming in wave 7. This is just a guess, but Robot Kingdom rarely sells these things individually. We'll probably be seeing repacks in this new line as well. Special thanks to Julien N. for the alert!

For those of you who missed out on the Imperial Hovertank Pilot Toys R Us exclusives (a very fine figure if I must say so myself), it is showing up in stores once again. JTA reader Mark from Frisco TX found them today!

I just got from a much-needed vacation and I feel like "disqusing" something controversial. For collectors that have been collecting the modern Hasbro stuff since 1995, nothing is more grating to our ears than newbie collectors telling us what the collecting community wants and how 6" is "where it's at...." I have digressed already. I didn't mean to go for the jugular right away. Images have been circling around aSocial Media like this one showing that BRAND NEW figures are marked down to $5 a piece. This couldn't be more of a loss to Walmart (in this case). 3.75" super-articulated figures would be nowhere found for the Rogue One launch. Heck, 3.75" super-articulated figures never got anywhere this cheap YEARS after they hung on pegs! When you see prices like $14.99 dancing around, sure, that's competition to have the lowest price. When you see $5, it means total failure (at that particular store and maybe more) or that this line just isn't what people think it is. Let the trolling begin!

JTA reader Adam sends us an image of a Walmart Rollback for the Imperial TIE Striker. While it's possible (and likely) that markdowns like this are all part of the retail scheme, it shows us one thing in particular: these new ships are too dang expensive. Even this price is too expensive for our tastes.

I find it hard to believe at times, but I've been writing reviews for Jedi Temple Archives since March of 2014. I began by reviewing season six of Star Wars: The Clone Wars when it was released on Netflix. Since then, we've opened up a companion Research Droids Reviews database that has been home to reviews of Star Wars Rebels, The Force Awakens, the new canon novels, and home video releases. This database is expanding yet again. Beginning this weekend, I will be providing weekly reviews of the first five seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These past episodes will be reviewed in the chronological order outlined by StarWars.com. I hope these reviews will be a fun way for everyone to revisit this great series! Join us and follow along each week to follow the story in chronological order!

The Rogue One Wave 2 listings have been updated on Amazon. Still only displaying 3rd party pricing, but these are worth keeping an eye on. Click below for direct links to the listing pages.

A while back, our friends at Yakface.com presented a rumor report that a "premium" Elite Series line of Star Wars figures was coming. Immediately, the rumor was perplexing on all fronts because the Elite Series line itself has been described as a 'premium' line. The rumor sort of faded away soon after it was presented. But Yakface's rumor may likely still have clout. We have received intel that indeed a "Premium" line of Elite Series figures are coming. We are waiting to have the price confirmed, but from what our source tells us we can expect to get both Kylo Ren and Rey on 11/15 and then Darth Vader and Princess Leia on 11/25. Stay grounded with this updated rumor because no one has the full story yet. But this new development sure makes it sound to us that a "different" line is coming. Stay tuned for more!

Toys R Us has already placed their exclusive Star Wars Rogue One "Glowstrike" NERF Blaster on their eBay store. We wonder if this is actually means anything or if it's just a way for them to reach a broader market for it. Hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with the item's distribution or poor sales. If you're interested, it ships for FREE.

For me, Hasbro’s NYCC Preview Party is the highlight of the year as far as my “fake” hobby world is concerned, (a world many of you take us much too seriously for as evidenced in the comments). None of this impacts my real world life including my health, happiness and general joy of life. But I'll be darned that when it comes time to be a Star Wars collecting nut that the passionate and dedicated Star Wars fan comes out. Being in an environment like the Hasbro NYCC Preview Party puts me in this mood and mode. There is something special when you’re being served high-end hors d'oeuvres with drinks named after your favorite Star Wars characters. But even better than this is the face to face time fan sites get to spend with Hasbro. Over the years the format has gotten less relaxed and a little more rigid. You’re being recorded and you’re under severe time restraints. It makes follow-up questions or clarifications nearly impossible. It's quite a change of pace today. Sometimes those Hasbro conversations in the past could go on for hours. Whatever. It’s all good. We’re just still thankful for the time we get with Hasbro. JTA is known for asking some of the harder questions and never being satisfied with a first answer. Sadly, as mentioned above, the time for pressing for more info on some of the more pertinent issues just gets eaten by the stopwatch. We did what we could however. There is definitely some resistance to answer our questions fully as you'll see. But at least we ASKED them. Hopefully a happy medium has been reached with the responses below. We hope our conversation bring additional clarity to a brand we love and cherish and of which we are very protective. (more....)

If you were lucky enough to snag the Amazon exclusive Shadow Trooper helmet for $59.99 when it debuted, keep an eye out for it. This is officially shipping now. It is currently out of stock, unless you count the over-priced 3rd party sellers. Keep checking though. It's fluttered in and out of stock since its launch, albeit at the $79.99 price point.

JTA reader Derek found this new Galactic Heroes two-pack at TARGET. He expressed that in typical Hasbro fashion this item is two years too late as The Inquisitor died at the end of season 1. Since season 3 just started, we wonder if this was the best choice for a kids' toy. And does a release like this build a new generation of young customers for Hasbro?

Collector have been asking where Hasbro's 12-Inch Figures are. Well, it looks like they're hitting retail (TARGET Dover, DE) as we speak. JTA reader Jeff M. found them yesterday at his local store.

Maybe "Star Wars" just shouldn't be called "Star Wars" anymore. Let's call it "Star Love" or something similar. A bizarre article has shown up online criticizing Disney for making a Death Trooper Halloween costume. You have to read this hilarity folks.

Despite what Hasbro says about Walmart at the buyer level (all good from what you'll see in our Q&A session), they are absolutely the WORST retailer at the consumer level. This will only show BOTH Hasbro AND Walmart that this line is not a success. The latest Walmart exclusive figures that were on sale for $10.83 just a couple days ago are now "on clearance" for $5 a pop! JTA reader Robert W. shares his experience. Click through for more.

While you wait for our own Hasbro Q&A, I'd suggest listening to the Hasbro Q&A from our friends at Imperial Shipyards. A couple of the same questions that get asked every year get asked again (like TVC's return – which is expected), but they also asked some other great questions that have allowed Hasbro to let their guard down a bit and reveal a little bit more about their thought processes; something that they've held close to the vest and have been reluctant to reveal. I truly appreciate their honesty and candor, but it's true that they are focused on a completely different market now. Collectors that have supported the line since 1995 clearly are not high on their priority list (perhaps not because they're intentionally disregarding us, but because they are trying to grasp a new [read: younger] market). Listen, but it's evident that they're trying to obtain a new audience of younglings that will carry the hobby when we're (original Kenner kids) old and gray and senile. They also conceded that 3.75" super-articulated figures aren't financially viable for the brand. It has to do with what we're willing to pay for the figures and the reduced market that currently exists. From their perspective, more (2.25") is apparently more and justifies the $19.99 price point of TBS6 (even though most can be found for $14.99 or less at some point during their retail offering). Now, our Q&A conversation reveals some hope that I just didn't get from their Q&A, but we'll let you be the judge. Anyhow, we won't spoil it all for you. Check out what they had to say and then be sure to sound off in our comments!

JTA reader and good friend Chris S. sends an image of what his local Walmart looks like. His Walmart didn't put anything out on Rogue Friday, and then put out this self-shipper loaded with product a couple of days late. A grand total of four figures have sold from this display (and he lives outside of a major city). Chris is convinced that this perceived pile-up wouldn't had happened at all if these figures were super-articulated 3.75" figures. Obviously this is one instance, but what are you seeing in your area? I can't comment as I see nothing in the Philly area except for a couple of TARGET stores, and they're only loaded up with six different 5POA figures. And three of my local TRU stores are frustrated because they haven't received anything substantial in their stores yet. Is it too soon to comment about a potential lackluster performance of the Rogue One products? Is it flying out of stores where you live? Is TBS6 performing well in your area? Are people waiting for this film this time?

eBay sellers have begun listing the 2nd wave of Rogue One TBS6 figures.

The NYCC Preview Party may be over, but the coverage isn't over yet. We had the great fortune of squeezing in a Q&A with Hasbro tonight because of scheduling conflicts. We're working on it now, but it may take a couple of days before we can get it published as we want Hasbro's seal of approval before it goes live (our choice, not theirs). Anyway, we asked some great questions so we hope you look forward to their answers. Stay tuned! Oh! And NEW items WILL BE revealed at the presentation tomorrow. We won't be there, but we'll still be providing coverage of the presentation. So keep it here!

We're not sure how new this is, but JTA reader Heather saw a Hot Wheels Star Wars collection at her local Costco yesterday. if anyone has any additional information on this, please post the details ion our comments. Thanks! Sadly, we don't follow these too closely.

Here is something NOT to spend $300 on.... the Air Hogs Millennium Falcon. Imagine how much the BMF would cost today if this thing is $300. Special thanks to JTA reader Ryan B. for the image.

JTA readers Mike O. and John C. send us photographic evidence that The Force Awakens merchandise is getting marked down to dirt cheap prices. See what they were able to score for pennies on the dollar. While you're looking for Rogue One products, you may want to see how you can save on TFA stuff if you see it on the shelf.

JTA reader Mike R. sends us a copy of a Walmart ad officially acknowledging the fifth wave of The Black Series 3.75" line. It also shows a sale price of $10.83. Hopefully this will be the price when these figures hit their online store. (Yeah, we know, wishful thinking.)

This isn't an exaggeration. The Toys R Us exclusive Imperial Hovertank Pilot 6" figure is worlds above anything else Hasbro has produced in The Black Series 6" line to date. It's not cast in rubbery plastic. Its sculpt has been elevated to a higher caliber of authenticity. And the paint operations are drool worthy.

Walmart Also has product pages for wave 5! Click each image below for direct links. You can't order them yet, but you can bet when they go live they will go fast!

Walmart has posted coded product pages for these figures. Click below for what we think is each figures page. No order option as of yet, but we will let you know if and when they go live. Thanks to JTA reader Michael for the tip!

It looks like there is a variation to K-2SO. Images showing up on Amazon show him now included with an E-11 blaster rifle. Great, a another running change WITH a new weapon. Perfect. We don't have any other information on this than the image. It could be an older stock image. We just dont' know. Special thanks to JTA reader Jared S. for the news!

UPDATE: No need to worry. The images with the blaster are incorrect and replaced with the images without the blaster. There is NO WEAPON to track down.

JTA reader Michael F. has been playing with Hasbro's new Studio App and has come across yet another Rogue One exclusive. It looks to be exclusive to Walmart, so it will be interesting to see when this set becomes officially acknowledged. (We guess it already has since it's part of a Hasbro application.)

Site Kotaku is the media outlet of choice to reveal even MORE Star Wars exclusives and confirms that The Black Series 6" C-3PO that has just been revealed in indeed a Walgreens exclusive (as well as other tidbits of information). New images await you in the article. Check it out!

Walmart has revealed their latest wave of 3.75" figures. Check them out below!

A Kohl's exclusive boxed set has been revealed, much like their exclusive last year. This time however some of the figures appear to have dirt and paint variances as well as the inclusion of a sergeant's pauldron for the Stormtrooper. Check it out! Special thanks to JTA reader Shawn P. for the images.

Well, she certainly looks incredibly better than the first version we got and comes with a wealth of accessories, but the Kmart exclusive Sergeant Jyn Erso (Eadu) has a major issue of her own that just annoys us. Other than that she looks rather fantastic. See more in our Research Droids Reviews. It starts off our Rogue One marathon!
