TBS Rumor Report: Unidentified TBS Exclusive Arriving In The U.S.

Recent shipping data shows that there is some sort of convention exclusive figure/pack arriving in the U.S.. It is currently unknown what “Con Ex 4” includes but it does confirm the existence of one of our rumored items on our Master List. While this may be an exclusive for a future event like SDCC, it could also simply be something for Hasbro Pulse, similar to the Black Series Super Battle Droid & C-3PO/Battle Droid 2pk as that set had the code name of “Conv Excl 1”. Maybe this is something that will be announced Friday at the May 3rd Fanstream?

Stay tuned for additional updates as we learn more.
