It’s safe to say that Star Wars dominated this weekend. Force Friday was huge. And everywhere. Maybe my memory is faulty, but I worked several of these midnight Star Wars events back in my TRU days and we had a lot of stuff, but we didn’t have this much stuff. This tie around there’s a seemingly an unending barrage of tie-in merchandise! After this weekend, I can’t imagine there’s a single product that hasn’t had a Star Wars label thrown on it! Geez. <\/p>\n

More pursuant to this site, the 6″ Star Wars Black Series didn’t have a ton of figures in stores. Most places just had the first wave of figures (Finn, Rey, Kylo Ren, the Stormtrooper, & Chewie). Some Meijers in the Midwest managed to drive many collectors crazy by sneaking in Wave 2 including my biggest want, Captain Phasma, as well as Poe Dameron, a dude named Constable Zuvio, and a really interesting, target-faced, Guavian Enforcer. I want that on sight alone. That’s nine figures. That’s impressive. <\/p>\n
Then the pre-orders came. Case assortments for Waves 3 & 4 revealed five more figures while a list of retailer exclusives added eleven<\/em> more! That’s 25 new Black Series figures if you’re counting at home. It’s like a monsoon after a drought. <\/p>\n So much stuff that it took me an entire extra day (I’m getting old) to get the checklist updated! <\/p>\n And, yep, Star Wars Black has finally joined the ranks of some other great 6″ toy lines with a more sprawling visual checklist! The original link will now serve as the landing page and let toy hunters see releases by year & packaging color. I did cheat a but that that massive “The Force Awakens” page. Instead of updating to the newer packaging look, it will stay thematically with the others page, just in red instead of blue or orange. Official images were available for all but the four figures from wave two and the five figures revealed in the wave 3 & 4 case assortments so there is plenty to see. Many images can be clicked on to see enlarged pics. And affiliate links are available for a couple of the pre-orders. There’s some fun stuff, so check it out! <\/p>\n![](\"resources\/swimages\/phase3.jpg\")
