SHORTCUTS
Here’s the summary from a great thread Jonathan Robinson instigated on the Imperial Commissary in mid July 2021. I thought there might be some wider community interest in the topic, so have migrated it over to here where can be easily found in the future. Now, over to Jonathan!

Recently I have been going through my MOCs noticing the array of retail outlets that offered up for purchase the Star Wars toys we have grown to love in this hobby of ours. I went with the examples I had on hand as evidence they were offered and there a few store names that share the same parent or are part of the same entity with a transition of ownership taking place concurrent to the sales of the times. I have listed the names of retailers in alphabetical order to better understand and appreciate the breadth and scope of this endeavour.
Feel free in the FB comments thread to add a place you don’t see on the list or a pic of a cardback showing that very name. You can also message the Variant Villains guys and they’ll update the page below. This should be fun and educational. Let’s see how fast we can grow this list!
