A lot of questions have been posed regarding the status of the 1:12 Scale Tantive IV Blockade Runner Display Set. Recently GTP sent out an email notifying current and potential customers about a shake up in their business as well as production delays due to COVID restrictions for their first officially licensed product. They look to be able to full preorders by July/August 2021 and no more will be made after that due to low sales volumes. If you’re looking to get this for your collection it may be best not to wait.
An interesting image has been posted on Reddit potentially revealing a new Black Series Crosshair figure as well as a speculated plot point to the new series The Bad Batch within the figure’s bio. You can check out this image via our Instagram page protected by a couple of leading images. Thanks to dtinaglia for posting the image.
StarWars.com has officially announced 4 new Black Series figures to commemmorate the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm and The Clone Wars. The figures include Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, ARC Trooper Echo and Clone Pilot Hawk. These figures also correlate to our reports of 4 exclusive TBS figures coming to Target.
The GameStop exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Rocket Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Battlefront II has arrived at GameStop’s distribution center in Texas. Expected ship date is May 1 for those who preordered.
Following up on some previous reports here and here, I received info that the 4 rumored Target Exclusive Black Series figures “SUN”, “SNOW”, “RAIN” and “WIND” are on the way to Target distribution centers and have an expected arrival date in stores on or about May 19. (Street date TBD). It’s a good bet that these will be revealed as part of the May the 4th festivities planned – unless they leak prior to then. It is unknown which figures they all are except for one which I was told is some version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
A couple weeks ago, we told you about the “Cheetah” animal code name discovered as part of the upcoming slate of 2021/2022 Black Series figures. We can now add “Elephant” and “Elk” to the growing list of mystery figures. Thanks to Irwin for the heads up.
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s reveal, the Black Series Wedge Antilles Battle Simulation Helmet (code names “Couch” & “Hazelnut’) has already reached Hasbro’s distribution warehouse in California as well as GameStop’s warehouse in Kentucky. Like a lot of product in recent months, this may reach collectors prior to its estimated released date of June 2021.
Word is that there will be a new, previously unrumored, Black Series figure revealed soon as part of the Hasbro Fan Fest. Leave your guesses in the comments as to whom it may be. I’ve already given one hint.
