An image of the upcoming 6″ Black Series Rebel Trooper has been posted on a Facebook group courtesy of Brian Metz. This figure is part of the next wave (18) of figures at 1 per case, so expect it to be a bit tough to find at retail at first. Your best bet may be to order from one of our sponsors like Entertainment Earth or DorksideToys who will be receiving full cases of this figure. Watch for preorder announcements soon.
Black Series Shock Trooper Helmet Preorder
GameStop is also taking preorders for their exclusive Black Series Battle Front Shock Trooper Helmet. Retail price is $99.99 and ships starting on July 17.

New Products Added to ForceLink App
Hasbro has issued another update to the ForceLink2 app (Build 2.1) and within the app, several new unannounced products have been added – many of which were rumored here first. Some of the additions include Val, Rio Durant, Han Solo (Mudtrooper), Beckett, Han Solo (Vandor), Weazel and more. Click on through for some in-app images.
Target Exclusive 6″ Gamorrean Guard Release Date Update
New details for the illusive (at least in the US) 6″ Black Series Gamorrean Guard have been light since that original internal date of June 1 came and went. It now appears that mid-July is the new “target” time frame for its release. RC from Phoenix was told that his particular store has this specifically en route for July 14? Your mileage may vary, but we’ll definitely report when the first one turn up on shelf.
Moloch Wave @ Walmart
It’s pretty easy to want to skip Walmart on toy runs these days for a lot of us given how badly they have handled anything Star Wars related the past few years, but they are currently stocking the Moloch wave in some parts of the US.
So if you’re looking for figures from the second assortment of Solo, it might be worth your while to make a stop to check out what they have on the pegs.
Best of the Black Series?
Let’s say that in the future, Hasbro decided to revisit some older, in demand Black Series characters (like they’ve done recently with Darth Revan for example). How do you think they should go about it? Straight reissues or slight tweaks to preserve the extrinsic value of the first release(s)? Complete retooling/redecoing to improve upon existing sculpts? And what would you call this special line of Black Series figures – Black Series Greatest Hits? Black Series Redux? Best of the Black Series? Feel free to comment on the characters you’d like see again (or maybe for the first time) at retail.
New Rey Starkiller Base Centerpiece Found
Welp, another product has leaked out to retail before the official announcement. This time it’s the long-rumored Black Series Centerpiece Rey (Starkiller Base) set. This will also be available as part of the SDCC Exclusive Starkiller Base set that was announced two weeks ago. This was found, again, at Toys”R”Us in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
