The LEGO Group has officially revealed their latest UCS (Ultimate Collector Series) set with the Imperial Star Destroyer. The set features 4,784 bricks (that’s a lot of gray) and measures 43” (109.22 cm) long. Also, it includes a buildable Tantive IV which nestles in the docking bay. It is available on Sept. 18 for VIP members and Oct. 1 for the general public.

Finally for reveals today (maybe) is a drop of some new UPCs/SKUs for upcoming 6″ Black Series figures. If you’ve follow our rumors and hints here and on social media for a few months, the first two on the list above won’t be a surprise. Note “LA” codes probably stand for “live action” for characters from The Mandalorian. All codes have been added to our Master List for quick reference.
After breaking the news of the new Hyperreal line back in February, I have discovered more information pertaining to the next release and it is, not surprisingly, Luke Skywalker. What’s in question is which version of Luke it is as I originally heard is was from The Last Jedi, but new info says its from The Empire Strikes Back. That being said, originally Vader was listed as being from A New Hope, but it is now listed as being from Empire. We’ll have to see when Luke is officially announced or more leaks occur (whichever comes first). Until then, the UPC and Walmart SKU has been added to our Master List.
After a long weekend of ignoring my family* to bring you the latest rumors, we kick things off this week with info for more Hasbro product coming later this year. Remember all info is subject to change and cancellation by the manufacturer (Hasbro) and no assurances can be made as to when and where these will be available, if at all.
For those looking to complete the Retro Collection carded set, Target.com is now has the Escape From Death Star Game with Exclusive Grand Moff Tarkin available for purchase.
I managed to track down carded glam shot images for the Vintage Collection Wave 7 which includes Luke Skywalker (Crait), R2-D2 (ANH), Imperial Assault Tank Commander (Rogue One) and Death Star Gunner (Rogue One). Click on through for a closer look.
