Join us for an all-star show! On this episode, we discuss the current status of the Hasbro Haslab Rancor and also reflect on the period after the original Star Wars toy line ended in the 80’s, better known to most fans as “The Dark Times”.
Today’s Bring Home the Bounty has revealed that the next Gaming Greats figure (08) will be the Imperial Senate Guard from The Force Unleashed. Preorders open tomorrow at 1pm ET at GameStop.
I previously speculated that this would be the Shadow Guard based on the artwork used on the Republic Commando packaging.
What do you think? Is this a better option than we surmised or a let down?
UPDATE: Now available
Per the above, in an effort to save this project, Hasbro is adding a Black Series Malakili figure to the basic package of 9k backers for the Haslab Black Series Rancor.
Will this be enough to push this project over the top? Or is this too little, too late?

Twitter follower TheHamSalad found nearly the entire case of Wave 31 from the Black Series tonight at his Target in Eugene, OR.
It looks like the newest wave of Black Series figures (yet to be officially announced by Hasbro) is starting to hit Target. Wave 31 was found at Target in Portland, OR via Kevin T. over on the Star Wars Modern Figure Collectors Facebook group.
Maybe Hasbro will get around to letting preorders open for this wave.
