It looks like the rumored “Project Maverick” from EA has been leaked via Microsoft’s XBox site and it confirms a new game titled: Star Wars Squadrons. No additional details yet but look for an official announced soon.
Thanks to StarWarsUnity.net for the heads up.

Some Tuesday Morning locations have been putting out various figures from The Vintage Collection that were apparently never picked up at retail (potentially due to the Snoke / repack wave logjam). If you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth making a quick stop to see what they have on the pegs. I’ve even heard that Death Troopers have been spotted in the wild.
Let us know what you’re seeing in your area here or in our forums.
Join us as we talk about the latest Star Wars action figure reveals from Hasbro. We also discuss the fan movement to save Hasbro’s 3.75 inch Star Wars figures. #BackTVC #Save375 #FightForTVC
A couple weeks ago, I once again joined the Galaxy of Toys podcast to discuss the latest news from Hasbro regarding the Black Series and (anemic) Vintage Collection.
Note: the beginning of the podcast features a cold open (recorded after the reveals) and then it jumps “back in time” to the regular show format as recorded on May 17, 2020.
A link found on an Australian distributor website, reveals an upcoming 6″ Black Series Mandalorian Build-Up Pack from Hasbro. No word on its contents but it sounds like The Mandalorian figure with several additional accessories similar to the Sith Trooper Armory Pack figure from the Vintage Collection. Hopefully it will include the pram for The Child and maybe his newly acquired jetpack. Nevermind, the Beskar Mando includes the jetpack. 😛 How about whistling birds, flame and blaster attachments or a flight stand like the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Widow?
Thanks to JTPrime for the alert.
Thank you sir, may I have another? EBGames looks to have another unannounced figure in their system. Labeled “SW BL CLONE TROOPER LT” this could in fact be a Phase I Clone Trooper with blue armor flashed from Attack of the Clones. Thanks to @wingorlose on Instagram for the intel and image.
UPDATE: Facebook follower Avi German notes on our Facebook page that Cad Bane was also listed via EBGames. If accurate, the above clone is probably the unidentified trooper from Wave 27 in our Master List that includes Hoth Rebel Trooper, Incinerator Trooper, Han Solo (ROTJ), Leia (ROTJ), Luke Skywalker (ROTJ) and Cad Bane.
EBGames Canada Update: It looks like they are also taking preorders for a Gaming Greats Jango Fett (from Bounty Hunter?) and the popular Purge Trooper from Jedi Fallen Order – thanks to Gord P. on Instagram for the skus.
Sponsor DorksideToys has passed along final carded images for the upcoming Clone Commander Wolffe, Power Droid and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) figures from The Vintage Collection. As you can see, the fit and finish of the bubbles and the trays now reflect what we’ll see when these ship out to collectors and hit stores.
The 6″ Black Series “Gaming Greats” subline of figures may have a few more surprises left. According to @t0ytime on Instagram, EBGames in Canada is currently taking preorders for a Darth Nihilus figure from KOTORII. GameStop is the likely distributor of this figure in the U.S.
Yak’s Top Ten is back for another round, with the focus shifting over to the conclusion of the sequel trilogy – The Rise of Skywalker.
