While Hasbro’s official SDCC panel starts at 2pm on Friday, July 19. Be sure to be around the day before on Thursday, July 18 as word is that a new product (or products) will be announced/confirmed. No word yet if it’s from the Vintage Collection or Black Series or from what media source (movie, TV, comics) it/they may be based.
Facebook member Darren O. reports finding a few of the Walmart Exclusive Jabba’s Palace Adventure Sets in store in San Diego, CA. He also managed to find several of the Lando Skiff Guard TVC figures as well.
Facebook member Jan O. reports finding the “new” VC09 Boba Fett from the Vintage Collection today in Hong Kong. Click on through for a closer look.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for cases and sets of Vintage Collection Wave 8 which include Boba Fett (VC09) and carry forwards of Chewbacca, Rogue One Stormtrooper and R2-D2 (as we stated back in April).
Amazon has finally activated the product link for the upcoming TVC Darth Revan (VC150). There is no updated image and it is currently out of stock but you can still order it and maybe it will fill at some point or maybe orders will get cancelled. It’s a crap shoot anymore with Amazon.
It looks like LEGO will be offering a special Star Wars set at SDCC as shown here in the SDCC Exclusives Portal. No word yet what it is but expect an announcement very soon.
Thanks to @jedi_skywalkersd17 on instagram for the heads up.
SDCC has opened their online portal for registering for the lottery in order to purchase exclusives from Hasbro, Funko, LEGO, etc. Full details can be found at SDCCblog.com. If you are selected, you will be notified by email.
The official site has posted a rundown of exclusives available next month at SDCC. Items range from Hasbro, Funko and Mattel, to Fifth Sun, Regal Robot and more!
Stay tuned for more announcements and reveals as we get closer to San Diego Comic-Con.
It appears that the new droid sidekick, D-O, from The Rise of Skywalker will be getting the 10″ Funko POP! treatment as a new listing with the code name “Limerick” has surfaced in Target’s system. We first reported the code name back in February, and started compiling evidence attributing the name to D-O ever since, tying it to products for the Black Series and interactive/radio controlled droids. The DPCI for the 10″ POP is 323-01-7303 and retails for $29.99

If you are looking to bolster your Death Trooper ranks in preparation for The Mandalorian or missed out on them when first issued on the TVC card back, sponsor DorksideToys has added them back to their site for preorder. Look for them to start arriving toward the end of July.
