Notifications are being received from Entertainment Earth (and likely others) that the Hasbro has informed them of “the discontinued production” of the Black Series Captain Rex (#59) from the black/red packaging.
Thanks to Luke M. for the alert.
Here is a first look from an anonymous source at the upcoming Black Series Boba Fett from the 40th Anniversary assortment for Return of the Jedi. I’d imagine the price will be more than some of the others in the line due to the inclusion of all the accessories from the deluxe release (or maybe Hasbro will surprise us).
Update: based on its SKU, it should be an exclusive of some sort, most likely fan channel
Update 2: Card back added showing the wave including the new Wicket. (sorry I don’t have a better quality image)

More Andor news. We’ve received info for another potental exclusive for the Black Series from Andor – Cassian Andor Imperial Officer). No word yet as to which retailer this will land but I should be able to figure that out in the next few days.
