Rumor Report: Hasbro’s Fan First Tuesday: What To Expect on May 4th?

Leave a comment

I’ve been doing some research and conferring with sources over the past few days to get some sort of grasp on what may (and may not) be revealed and available for preorder tomorrow. That being said, take what I say with a grain of salt to tamp down lofty expectations.

PROBABLE

TBS Clone Wars Figures – Target/TRU Canada Exclusives
(Anakin, Obi-Wan, ARC Trooper Echo, Clone Pilot Hawk)
It is assumed that Target preorders will launch for these figures tomorrow since TRU Canada is launching them then.

TBS Gaming Greats “3” and “5” – GameStop Exclusives
Based on the two new listings added to GameStop’s website, it is assumed these exclusives will be announced and available for preorder tomorrow.

TBS “Chair” – Gamestop
This assumed roleplay item listing recently surfaced on GameStop’s system and website and when that happens preorders go live within a week.

POSSIBLE

TBS “Louisiana” – Walmart Exclusive
The identity of this figure is still unknown but the details I have suggest a $24.99 price point with a release date of Sept. 1. The link for this figure has since been removed from the Walmart app which is typical immediately prior to product officially being announced and active for ordering.

UPDATE: Available for preorder now

TVC “Triangle”, “Square” and “Retangle” – Walmart Exclusives
The identity of these 3 figures are also unknown but assumed to be 3 more of the “Finish the 96” figures for the Vintage Collection. The links for these 3 have since been removed from the walmart app which is typical immediately prior to them officially being announced and active for ordering.

TVC/TBS Unknown – Amazon Exclusives
I haven’t heard any specific details for Amazon, but I can’t imagine that global retailer not getting in on the event especially with so many listing showing up on overseas versions of the website.

UNLIKELY
TBS Rogue One Figures and TBS 2021 Archive Wave 3, TVC Echo, TVC Offworld Jawa
Tomorrow is going ot be a big day for exclusives and these figures are not exclusive to any one retailer. Look for the TVC figures to potentially go live for order on Wednesday, May 5th – not tomorrow.

Let me reiterate that this is all assumption and speculation on my part. There may very well be more or less announced/revealed tomorrow so keep those expectations in check for now.
