Here’s some good news regarding the Forces of Destiny line. The Luke with Yoda Adventure Figure set is in stock and ready to ship from sponsor Entertainment Earth.
Another one bites the dust. Entertainment Earth has sent notifications to those who preordered the Forces of Destiny Sabine Wren with Graffiti Speeder that this item is now cancelled. We initially posted the rumor of its pending released back in December. Things are looking dire for those Creatures and Droids adventure packs we reported as well, at least in the U.S.
Thanks to Star Wars Collector for the heads-up.

While shopping today at a local grocery chain (Cub Foods) I noticed an official Super Bowl LII pin with the Star Wars logo and lightsabers on it. This is the second lapel pin that has been found, the first was an R2-D2 pin posted via Reddit and was available at the Mall of America Super Bowl store. Could there be a reason for such a marketing partnership? A trailer for an upcoming film perhaps? We shall see.
Our friends at JediDefender reported finding this back on Jan 7.
As we continue to assemble our upcoming checklist for the product launch on April 13 for Solo: A Star Wars Story, we’ve heard of two more vehicles coming as part of the Class B assortment. One is a repack from The Last Jedi – the A-Wing Fighter with Tallie, the other is rumored to be Han’s Landspeeder (with Han) as seen in the leaked production photos as well as the LEGO set (75209). Considering the number of repacks and non-Solo film related figures/vehicles coming out that day, the merchandising tie-ins seem to be quite low – maybe lower than Rogue One.
Sideshow Collectibles is now taking preorders for their Luke Skywalker Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure.
The Luke Skywalker Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure captures Luke’s journey through Return of the Jedi with an incredible variety of customizable display options. Recreate key scenes from the Star Wars saga with the three distinct looks included with the Luke Skywalker Deluxe figure- Jabba’s Palace Luke, Endor Luke, and Jedi Knight Luke.
For those that are still collecting POP! figures from Funko (and merchandise from The Last Jedi), keep your sensors peeled at Target as they’ll soon be received an exclusive Resistance BB Unit.

Since the Battle on Crait was a bust in getting the Force Projection Luke figure, I thought I’d take an unscientific poll on what company will release/announce one first? Click on through to the comments to weigh in on the 4 options.
