I noticed that GameStop has just started processing my order for the exclusive 6″ Black Series Battlefront II Inferno Squadron TIE Pilot. This figure originally had a November 17 release date. Also, the release date for their exclusive Supreme Leader Snoke with Throne as shifted again from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2.

You may not have realized it, but the new 3.75″ TBS Rose figure is actually an awesome army builder by just doing some head swaps and slapping on some different accessories.
I’ve seen some people not being a huge fan of this figure, but I love it. The fact that it’s got such diversity is just a bonus. So, if you happen to see her pegwarming any, keep in mind she’s got fantastic customizing possibilities so you should pick up an extra just for the fun of it (I’ve already got another one in the works, giving the figure a whole new look).
Time is winding down if you’re planning on creating a custom Mini Rig in our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge! Entries are due by September 30th, so hurry if you plan on getting in on the fun!
If you ordered the 6″ Admiral Ackbar and First Order Officer 2-pk from ToysRUs.com, be on the lookout for these to be arriving now.
Personal Note: I received my order today, and opened them as soon as I could – these figures could not be any more perfect for the price. This is an amazing set, and I hope we see more 2-pks like this in the future… and if Hasbro puts this sort of care into the return of 3.75″ TVC figures, we’re going to be in for some great times as collectors again soon.
