Star Wars Celebration: We Take a Look at Collectibles From Galaxy’s Edge!

While taking a spin on the Star Wars Celebration Chicago floor, we swung into the Galaxy’s Edge experience and took a peak at some of the things that will await park guests when they attend the themed lands in Disneyland and Disney World this year. In short: it was awesome. Concept art was hung everywhere, there were photo ops galore. As the collectibles editor however, one corner of the booth caught my eye- collectibles! Come on- who goes to Disney and DOESN’T buy a ton of stuff. Let’s take a look at some of what they will have to offer in the shops across Black Spire Outpost.

First up: some die-cast vehicles will be available, like in the past. These have new packaging themed to Galaxy’s Edge, so for all you MOC guys and gals, looks like you have to re-buy some of these. The Resistance rank badge set caught my eye as well.

Pins! I am a pin-a-holic, so give me all of these yesterday. Pins, patches, and the like will be a huge part of collecting at Galaxy’s Edge, or so the helpful person standing there told me. Tons of new designs, from both the light and the dark will be available, and will rotate at the same pace as other areas of the parks. Get ready for LOTS of pins all you Pin Traders out there.

Wanna feel like you are still there when you get home? There will be plenty of home goods available as well. Blankets, kitchen supplies, mugs, glasses, hangable signs. There will be plenty to outfit your home as if you never left Black Spire.

Plenty of clothing options will be in the shops you visit as well, including a costume shop where you and the entire family can dress the part and get First Order uniforms, Jedi robes, and more!

Finally, figure box sets for the First Order and Resistance will continue, along with three Hasbro Star Wars Black Series collector sets only available in Galaxy’s Edge. These will include the first Black Series figures for Commander Pyre from Resistance, Hondo Ohnaka, and DJ R3X from Star Tours!

What do you all think? Planning your trip now? Let us know below and keep it locked here all weekend long for Star Wars Celebration news!

BC Toy Spotting: HUGE Week! Funko, WWE, Power Rangers, Disney Store, and Much, Much More!

Welcome to the latest edition of BC Toy Spotting! We are in and out of stores pretty much every day, and we figure (ha!) why not show all of our fellow collectors what we are coming across on pegs and shelves. As collectors, we know that staying on top of what is in stores can be almost a full time job, so we are here to help you with your toy hunts and outings. This week, after taking a week off, we found SO MUCH STUFF. New Funko, Power Rangers, Dungeons and Dragons, WWE, Marvel Legends, a little of everything. SO let’s dive right in!

We took a trip to the Disney Store to see what was new there, and the answer is a ton. New Marvel Select Ant-Man and Wasp figures, a special edition Captain Marvel doll, Captain Marvel Hot Toys Cosbaby figures, a new line of Cars die cast cars, new die cast Star Wars Droid figures, and a new line of figures called Shufflerz, little wind-up walking toys. Tons of Toy Story characters in that line, with so many more to come I was told.

As alwyas, we found a ton of Funko releases this week. Caddyshack Pops started to show up, along with Rainbow Brite. Toy Story Vynl and Keychains hit stores, along with Harry Potter Pop Pez. Queen Pops not Freddie Mercury are showing up more frequently, along with the BoxLunch exclusive Lydia from Beetlejuice. New Hellboy, Overwatch, and Avengers Pops as well. Funko released Star Wars Celebration exclusives this weekend, and we found Watto, along with the gold chrome Yoda and Leia. Vudu digital codes at Walmart now come with Pocket pops. Finally, Game of Thrones 5 Star figures hit shelves, along with Alien Xenomorph cereal.

The new Wizards of the Coast Dungeons and Dragons Stranger Things Starter Set is hitting Gamestops.

Gamestops have a ton of anime figures right now, including lots of Naruto figures and their Star Wars Black Series Jumptrooper figure as well.

Hot Topic had the new wave of Titan Game of Thrones mini-figures, two exclusive Flash DC Collectibles Designer Statues, and some neat little horror plush and figure magnets.

We also found the new Avengers: Endgame LEGO sets, the Marvel Legends Ant-Man helmet, and the Star Wars Black Series General Grievous, a great figure!

We also found the chase Sensational Sherri Elite WWE figure from Mattel. This one is hitting with more frequnecy, so keep checking your Walmarts!

Finally this week, the first wave of Power Rangers: Beast Morphers is hitting Walmart in their Easter shippers. These Hasbro figures are not in the actual toy section, so keep your eyes peeled.
