As always, thanks to TargetGod for the intel.

Twitter follower NJ_Tree sends us the above snapshot from the Toms River, NJ ThinkGeek and as you can see, there is nice supply of current Black Series figures including the much-lauded Imperial Royal Guard.
As if figure and packaging variations weren’t enough, Casey B. tipped me off to a running change for the display frame for the Darth Vader Legacy Pack. First shipments (both red and brown eye variants) included a silver double racing stripe frame. Current shipments now feature white stripes (not the music band). Click the image above that I snapped for closer look.

Hasbro has sent word to distributors that open preorders/backorders for the 40th Anniversary Collection wave 1 (consisting of Han, Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan and R2-D2) will not be fulfilled as the wave has reached out of production status.
Joining all of the wave 2 card variants for the 40th Anniversary Collection, the Darth Vader Legacy Pack box has also received the text adjustment for the age recommendation – switching to all UPPER CASE. Since Target has given up the ghost on carrying this set, you can continue to find steady shipments of these hitting Walmart.
UPDATE: This text change also extends to the Darth Vader cardback inside the box making for 3 distinct carded versions:
“Red Eyes” variant – lower case text
“Dark Eyes” variant – lower case text
“Dark Eyes” variant – UPPER CASE text
Twitter follower Eric S. reports finding the Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX Lightsaber at his Walmart in Clarksville, TN.

Now, we can share that Hera will be slotted into the first wave of 6″ Black Series figures for The Last Jedi, launching on Sept 1 (Force Friday). Click on through to check out some new images.
