For those eager to get their hands on a set of the Celebration Exclusive Darth Maul and Obi-Wan, a bit of history. For Celebration Orlando (April 13-16, 2017), the Celebration Luke went on sale April 25 (9 days later, or two Tuesdays after the show). Tomorrow will be two Tuesdays after the close of Celebration Chicago. To be clear, I have no inside info on their pending release via HasbroPulse, but bookmarking this hidden page may be helpful.
update: A few people have said that Hasbro reps at SWCC said that these may go up for order on May 4. That would coincide with a couple other Hasbro releases planned for that day as well.

Instagram follower handsome.costanza reports finding the new Retro Collection Escape from the Death Star game with Grand Moff Tarkin at Target in Dallas Fort Worth for $19.99.
Also of note, the sticker looks to be removable, though not easily, thanks to this tweet from cyarnell26
For those who preordered the new Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order bundle from GameStop, if you check your order online (not via the app) you’ll see that the order is broken down in the two items, one for the game and one for the figure, as they ship separately. The abbreviation for the 6” figure is “AF SW BL FO IT” translates to
AF – Action Figure SW – Star Wars BL – Black Series FO – Fallen Order IT – Inquisitor/Purge Trooper?
Back in October 2018, Hasbro announced that 5 previously released TVC figures would be reissued in the Vintage Collection with Photo Real paint applications and of those 5, only Boba Fett has been MIA. After a bit of research today, I managed to find a listing stating that the updated Boba Fett (VC09) will be in a case assortment (after waves 6 & 7) and packed with carry forwards of Chewbacca, R2-D2 and the Stormtrooper.
As with any rumor, it is subject to change and/or cancellation by the manufacturer.
As a followup to our report from early April, it appears there are a few more additions for the 6″ Black Series assortment for Episode 9. EBGames has updated with listings for “Dublin N Prov” and “Bruges White”. It also confirms that “London White” is an exclusive for the chain, so it could be a GameStop exclusive here in the US as well. Thanks to Audiobeing for the heads up.
GameStop is currently offering 25% off collectibles. Instagram follower bmc_helipilot scooped up General Grievous and a nice unit of new Imperial Jumptroopers. The promo involves purchasing a tote for $4.99 and whatever collectibles you can fit inside receive the discount.
