The GameStop exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Rocket Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Battlefront II has arrived at GameStop’s distribution center in Texas. Expected ship date is May 1 for those who preordered.
Following up on some previous reports here and here, I received info that the 4 rumored Target Exclusive Black Series figures “SUN”, “SNOW”, “RAIN” and “WIND” are on the way to Target distribution centers and have an expected arrival date in stores on or about May 19. (Street date TBD). It’s a good bet that these will be revealed as part of the May the 4th festivities planned – unless they leak prior to then. It is unknown which figures they all are except for one which I was told is some version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assist.
