Walmart has placed their Star Wars [The Last Jedi] First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter up for order. The vehicle retails for $39.73 and we’re personally unable to process why this item is a retailer exclusive again.

JTA reader and friend Michael O. alerts us to another Five Below find. I haven’t heard these particular figures hitting this retail collection, but I may have just forgotten. Regardless, this was the first time Michael has ever seen this figures at retail! Sad!

Amazon is trying hard to get rid of their abundance of stock of the Kylo Ren (Unmasked) six-inch figure. This figure has dropped so low it’s now relegated as an add-on item. Click here for the $4.99 TBS6 Kylo Ren…

JTA Canadian reader Jamie D. sends us a remarkable store report. Do you remember the Amazon exclusive First Order Legion boxed set with seven figures? They have now shown up at Toys R Us in Canada for only $29.99 (original MSRP on Amazon was $47.99). As you know, these nearly go for $100 on Amazon today, so this is quite a surprising store find. Let us know if you see these in your local stores. I wonder why Amazon didn’t sell through their stock because once they sold out they never replenished and collectors wanted these. And I also wonder if American collectors will see this at their TRU stores. Weird. On a related note, I wonder if this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unsold TFA toys….

Early images are coming in from SDCC and Instagram user talker-art has posted images of the new Hasbro 3.75″ Rathtar with pack-in Bala-Tik figure.  Hey, that wasn’t such a “bad idea” we had a while back huh? What a “coincidence”! Special thanks to our friends at BanthaSkull.com for alerting us to their article that our “rumor report” was true.

….or does it? Ever since Episode VII was announced and we found out there was a female lead AND a black Stormtrooper, there was constant debates and some outright horrible statements being made. Then Disney put yet ANOTHER female in the lead role of their next Star Wars film; Rogue One. This has sparked many more debates on whether Emperor Kennedy is only looking to cast strong female leads, but now that is over! (maybe..) DigitalSpy published an article that finally put the ongoing diversity issue in terms the industry can understand….diverse casts make all-around more money! Read all about this here and let us know your thoughts in the comments below. (this should be fun)

DISCLAIMER: The term “Emperor Kennedy” is meant to be tongue-in-cheek and is not meant to be taken as negative views towards the diversity article. This is just a loving term I coined for humor.
