Star Wars Celebration: Hasbro Booth
In case you hadn’t had your fill of SWCC coverage, here is a gallery of images that I captured at Hasbro’s booth.
Target Exclusive Retro Collection Carded Figures Hitting Stores
Instagram user yodaskid reports finding the new Target Exclusive Retro Collection figures at his store in California (West-Covina-South). They are register locked for sale until 5/12.
Update: Hasbro Celebration Chicago Exclusives Info
For those eager to get their hands on a set of the Celebration Exclusive Darth Maul and Obi-Wan, a bit of history. For Celebration Orlando (April 13-16, 2017), the Celebration Luke went on sale April 25 (9 days later, or two Tuesdays after the show). Tomorrow will be two Tuesdays after the close of Celebration Chicago. To be clear, I have no inside info on their pending release via HasbroPulse, but bookmarking this hidden page may be helpful.
update: A few people have said that Hasbro reps at SWCC said that these may go up for order on May 4. That would coincide with a couple other Hasbro releases planned for that day as well.

Retro Collection Death Star Game Found

Also of note, the sticker looks to be removable, though not easily, thanks to this tweet from cyarnell26
Jedi Fallen Order Preorder Reveals Clue To Black Series Figure Identity?
For those who preordered the new Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order bundle from GameStop, if you check your order online (not via the app) you’ll see that the order is broken down in the two items, one for the game and one for the figure, as they ship separately. The abbreviation for the 6” figure is “AF SW BL FO IT” translates to
AF – Action Figure
SW – Star Wars
BL – Black Series
FO – Fallen Order
IT – Inquisitor/Purge Trooper?
Thanks to Alex D. for the heads up.
Rumor Report: VC09 Boba Fett (Photo Real) Status
Back in October 2018, Hasbro announced that 5 previously released TVC figures would be reissued in the Vintage Collection with Photo Real paint applications and of those 5, only Boba Fett has been MIA. After a bit of research today, I managed to find a listing stating that the updated Boba Fett (VC09) will be in a case assortment (after waves 6 & 7) and packed with carry forwards of Chewbacca, R2-D2 and the Stormtrooper.
As with any rumor, it is subject to change and/or cancellation by the manufacturer.
Rumor Report Update: More E9 Black Series Figures Hitting EBGames System
As a followup to our report from early April, it appears there are a few more additions for the 6″ Black Series assortment for Episode 9. EBGames has updated with listings for “Dublin N Prov” and “Bruges White”. It also confirms that “London White” is an exclusive for the chain, so it could be a GameStop exclusive here in the US as well. Thanks to Audiobeing for the heads up.
