Flyguy and Yakface are back this week to break down the week's collecting news and more. This week, product is coming in at record pace with wave after wave of Saga Legends, Mission Series and 6" Black Series products hit retail. Plus, there are even great sales to be had as well. There are few very cool customs to discuss this week, the main one grabbing headlines around the world is the drone speeder bike which is too cool not to hit production. Finally, big news broke from Disney involving the first of the standalone films as well as the official release date for Episode VIII. There is a lot to wrap our addled brains around but you can watch/hear it all on Episode 55 of The Realm Recap!
