eBay listings for the first wave of new 6″ Black Series available on Force Friday confirm number designations for Luke (#46) and Thrawn (#47) and now reveal numbers for Vader (#43), Stormtrooper (#48). That leaves Rey at #44, Kylo Ren at #45, and we’ve known for while that Hera is #42.
Thanks to Joseph O. on Twitter for the heads up.
Could there be another as yet to be leaked 6″ Black Series exclusive in the form of a two pack heading to Toys”R”Us for Force Friday. I don’t know. Maybe?

LEGO has been teasing via social media a new set that will not only be the largest Star Wars set, but it will also be the largest LEGO set EVER produced. Watch for the reveal soon!
There are already two TLJ figures that feature packaging variants in the 3.75″ line. The first one, found over the weekend, switches the placement of the Porg and bowcaster accessories included with Chewbacca. The second is for General Hux which switches the position of the mouse droid (and turns it 90 degrees) and blaster. I know this info super serves a very small segment of collectors but as someone that likes to document these things, I thought I’d share it all the same.
Hey, if a major outlet like Yahoo can share a deleted video showing off officially unannounced products for Force Friday 2, it’s got to be okay, right?
UPDATE: Hasbro has blocked the commercial linked to in the article.
Looks like the leaks for The Black Series have finally happened for The Last Jedi as Walmart in Canada has placed the first wave of figures out as part of their aisle shippers. And, as rumored, the wave consists of Kylo Ren, Rey (Jedi Training), Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master), Darth Vader (A New Hope), Stormtrooper (A New Hope), Hera Syndulla, and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Thanks to Instagram user Kevin T for the heads-up.

So many reports are coming in on social media of various products from The Last Jedi being stocked on shelves ahead of the September 1 street date. It seems at this point, every major retailer has had specific stores with product leaks from their stockroom.
In most instances, the product won’t ring up, but in some smaller chains it will, and some of the bigger chains are over-riding the “do not sell” message at the register out of confusion or whatever reason(s).
So, who all has seen product in the stores thus far? What are your impressions of the “in person” quality? Are you feeling this line will be more successful at retail than TFA and Rogue One? Share your thoughts here or in the forums!
Tonight we spotlight some awesome custom droids from Yakface forum member Stan.
