A new R5-P8 (Hondo’s droid from The Clone Wars and Galaxy’s Edge) Elite Series figure has been found at Metrocentre Gateshead in the UK – Thanks to Aaron K. for the info.
Since it has the “Imported from Galaxy’s Edge Trading Post” sticker, will this be offered exclusively through Target in the US as well?
As a follow-up to our report from last week, an image of the Disney Store Elite Series 35th Anniversary Darth Vader die cast figure has been posted via VP of Disney Stores, Jonathan Storey, on Facebook. Look for it in stores and online (along with other 35th Anniversary merchandise) on May 4th.

Look for this and more exclusive merchandise to be released on Star Wars Day, May 4th.
Rumor has it there is one more Elite Series Die Cast Action Figure heading to Disney Stores at the end of week and speculation is it will be General Leia Organa from The Last Jedi. We shall see how this rumor pans out.
According to this post in the Elite Series Collectors group from Jayson O. on Facebook, Captain Phasma and Supreme Leader Snoke have hit shelves ahead of their release date at the Downtown Disney location in California.
