ShopDisney has updated today with the announcement that the Droidfactory R2-S4M from Return of the Jedi will be available online on June 12. This latest astromech is currently available at select locations at Disney Parks.
ShopDisney is now taking preorders for the new Ezra Bridger Legacy Lightsaber Hilt from Star Wars Rebels.
Target is now taking preorders for the exclusive Micro Galaxy Squadron Destroy the Death Star Battle Pack from Jazwares. This set features the Millennium Falcon (with General Lando Calrissian, Nien Nunb and 2 Endor Rebel Troopers) and two TIE Interceptors with TIE Pilots.
Today’s marks the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi and what better time to drop new Vintage Collection and Black Series items that were previewed months ago? Hasbro, at the time, claimed there would be no preorders for these items, but for weeks, I’ve tracked the arrival of the figures shown above to distribution centers in the U.S.. One would hope that Hasbro/Lucasfilm could generate some synergy for today’s ROTJ milestone and offer a “See Now, Buy Now” type event with online retailers. The day is still young, but sadly I don’t hold much hope that this will actually happen.
Note: this pertains to the U.S. only as some other countries have allowed orders on some/all of these.
