Some investigation this morning has turned up information regarding a possible trooper multi-pack coming to Target in Hasbro’s Force Link 2.0 line. From what I’ve seen, this set includes 6 troopers from Solo: A Star Wars Story:
Mimban Stormtrooper
Stormtrooper Officer
Imperial Patrol Trooper
TIE Fighter Pilot
Mudtrooper A (red arm band – Han corporal)
Mudtrooper B (white arm band – medic?)
This set answer the questions regarding the those missing troopers from the Hasbro Force Link app we revealed back in June. Price is set at $44.99. Pertinent info has been added to our UPC/DPCI Master List.

Don’t give up hope on your hunt for the 6″ Black Series Gamorrean Guard. Stores are getting shipments this week and they will continue to get more plus, not all stores have reset their aisles yet. Over the past 4 days, my local store (Champlin, MN) has stocked the shelves twice (July 26 and July 30) since its release meaning some stores are receiving multiple cases and not just one, but as always your mileage my vary. For those that placed orders online, emails are going out stating a delay until August 20, so hopefully that will reassure you that you are covered until then.

The item is referenced in such a way that it could be from Solo: A Star Wars Story. Not sure what it may be (Range Trooper? or Patrol Trooper?) or if it’s still coming at all. More details as I find them…
