Hasbro Prepping Barges For FedEx Shipment
Hasbro has started the FedEx label creation process for the HasLab Jabba’s Sail Barge. If you’re signed up for the FedEx Delivery Manager service, you will soon receive an email notification (if you haven’t already) that a label has been created for your barge(s) and are being prepared for shipment.
Update via Rob G. on our Facebook page:
I just got off the phone with Hasbro. Bottom line, even though I have not received a notice about my sail barge, I found out mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. They are having communication issues with Fed-Ex. I recommend folks who have not received notice should call Hasbro and confirm their order @ 1-800-408-0052.

3.75” TVC Mimban Stormtrooper Finally Hits Retail
We’ve read and received several reports that the long-delayed Walmart Exclusive 3.75” TVC Mimban Stormtrooper has finally started to hit stores. The image above was from a store in Atlanta, GA. via darthdj666.
Update: if you’re looking to use Brickseek as a method of tracking these down, be sure to use the regular assortment code for the Vintage Collection (239252624) as the Mimban Stormtrooper quantities are tied to that number rather than its unique product SKU.
Rumor Report: New LFL Code Names
As you know, the characters from The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi, and Solo, were shrouded in secrecy with the use of code names. For Episode IX and The Mandalorian, that practice continues. I found out a few of these a while ago and waited for a little more corroboration but now that the Toy Fair dust has settled a bit, I feel now would be a good time.
For Episode IX, code names revolve around famous cities, like London, Oslo, Bruges, Limerick, and Boston. As for The Mandalorian, I’ve only seen one name referenced thus far and that is “Huckleberry”.
How these names are assigned to the characters has yet to be deciphered, but I would think it’s safe to assume that The Mandalorian may be “Huckleberry”. More as we learn more…
