There is a fun little easter egg hidden in the new LEGO Star Wars Sandspeeder (75204). Printed on the helmet of the Sandspeeder Gunner are the markings for Dosmit Ræh, the same helmet that Rey wears briefly in The Force Awakens. Thanks to John Bishop (@jbishopjr on Twitter) for the head-up.

Funko has updated their Smuggler’s Bounty blog revealing the POP! that is included in this month’s subscription box. For those that want to check it our take this link. Once through, you’ll have to commit to looking by taking a second link. The January Smuggler’s Bounty closes on the 15th.
For those that didn’t shell out the cash for the BB-8 Mega Playset, (or by one loose off of eBay) your 3.75″ Force Link figure collection has a glaring hole. Even though there is an all-new super articulated Supreme Leader Snoke coming in the first wave of the Vintage Collection in April, rumor is he will also be available as an individually carded figure in the Force Link/Star Wars Universe line. Look for him to possibly ship along side the Princess Leia Hoth and Maz Kanata (with jetpack) carded figures in the spring.
Sideshow has just released a teaser for their next entry into the Sixth Scale Mythos line with Boba Fett! As a refresher for this version of the iconic character, check out our toyguide update for Sideshow’s statue.
Hot on the heels of the minifigure leak from earlier today, Rebelscum has posted the first look at six sets from Solo: A Star Wars Story and as suspected, it uses the graphics that leaked out from Russian sources. Head on over for a closer look.
Looks like there will be more opportunities for kids to roleplay along with their favorite Forces of Destiny characters. I found a listing for a new “Force Crystal Lightsaber” via a foreign retailer. I’d expect it to start hitting retail sometime in the first quarter of 2018.
Another LEGO mini figure has leaked from Solo: A Star Wars Story. This time we get a (stylized) first look at the Imperial Range Trooper. Since we won’t post image here, you can find pics in the usual spots (reddit and/or Instagram).
UPDATE: Names have now leaked for 5 LEGO sets planned for the April launch. Details at reddit via manabyte
