Rumor Report: Unknown Convention Exclusive Arriving in the U.S.

Convention season is upon us starting next week with Star Wars Celebration. It is unknown if there will be any Hasbro exclusives for the event (the consensus seems to be a disappointing “no”) but today, I found info for some sort of convention exclusive that has started to reach the U.S. It is unknown at this time if it is Black Series or Vintage Collection. Maybe some light will be shed on it (and others) next week.

Rumor Report: Convention Exclusive Clone Trooper Set

Fellow product sleuther, JTPrime has found evidence of an upcoming exclusive Hasbro Clone Trooper pack currently en route to the U.S. Like previous convention exclusives*, they are initially available at shows like SDCC but also available through Hasbro Pulse. It is unclear what scale this is, but I’d bet on this being a Black Series item.

As for Vintage (TVC) product news, stay tuned.

*Obviously, there are no conventions planned in the short term so these will likely go directly to online sales.

Gentle Giant Celebration Exclusives Preorder Update

Due to the collapse of Gentle Giant’s servers yesterday (caused by the bombardment of traffic), they have delayed their preorders for the Han Solo (McQuarrie Concept) Mini Bust and Jumbo Kenner Dianoga Trash MonsterĀ convention exclusives until after Star Wars Celebration. Preorders will reopen on April 20 for Platinum and Gold members only and April 21 for Platinum, Gold and Silver members.
