Update: Galaxy’s Edge Black Series Sets Now In App (NFS)
Last night, Dan from StarWarsCollector.com noticed that the Shop Disney Parks app has updated with a slew of new merchandise for the pending launch of Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Among the new products are the 3 recently revealed exclusive 6″ Black Series sets (Droids, First Order, Smugglers) They are currently unavailable for purchase via the app but hopefully this is an indication that they will be available at the attraction when it opens at the end of the month.
Update: on a related note, the Shop Disney Parks app is being discontinued on May 31, 2019 to consolidate its store with the ShopDisney app.

Rumor Report: 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker (Crait)
Looks like the wait for Crait Luke is finally over – at least until next year – as last night I found info for the unannounced, but eagerly anticipated, Luke Skywalker (Crait) for the 6″ Black Series line.
