I urge collectors thinking about backing The Ghost to stand up and join your fellow collectors – as one – to unlock Ezra and the other crew members.
If you back now, you are all but guaranteed The Ghost, the Phantom II and Hera Syndulla*. You have the opportunity to get more “free” if the bonuses are all unlocked before Sept. 7. YOU ARE NOT CHARGED TODAY so waiting to back to see if they get unlocked only unnecessarily delays or prevents them from being included with your order and everyone else who came before you. Your collecting community members (who want this project) all benefit from the unlocking of all tiers starting with Ezra. #gettheghost and unlock the tiers today at HasbroPulse.com
It appears that the identity of the new Carbonized Black Series 2pk has been revealed via an early leak/link on Amazon. The set includes Ahsoka Tano and HK-87 but the description on Amazon makes no mention of carbonization. The info I found for this set last week clearly calls them out as “Carbonized”. No word when they’ll be officially announced but they are available for preorder now (delivered from the UK).
Remember to use code “FALLFREE79” for free shipping on all orders over $79 or use our code “YAKFACE” for 10% off in-stock merchandise and free shipping on orders over $79.
The thing that won’t die looks to be back with another release later this year. Recent shipping data shows the arrival of an unannounced Carbonized Black Series 2 pack in the vein of the Amazon exclusive ROTJ40 and Obi-Wan Kenobi sets. No word on what media this new 2 pack (code named “FIRM”) may be from but hopefully it’s as ignorable as the uninspired and lazy NED-B and Purge Trooper set.
Hasbro Pulse has opened orders/preorders for the convention exclusive Vintage Collection Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett – featuring a unique headsculpt, more weapons, accessories and special packaging. Priced at $39.99, there should be limited quantities in stock and then switch over to preorder status.
Shipping notifications are started to hit inboxes of those who ordered (with the special one-time use code) the SDCC/Convention Exclusive Vintage Collection Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett. No word yet on when preorders will open for general purchase.
Update: This set will be available for order/preorder on this Friday, July 28 at 12pm ET on Hasbro Pulse
This year’s SDCC panel also brought a slate of Pipeline Reveals for the Vintage Collection, Black Series and Retro Collection. Click on through for the info.
Apart from the reveal and launch of the massive Haslab The Ghost campaign, Hasbro also announced several other Vintage Collection and Black Series items. Click on through for the details.
Walmart’s gonna Walmart but don’t panic (yet). Walmart has sent out price adjustment notifications (adj. to $0.00) to those who preordered TBS Arc Trooper Fives. The orders are not canceled, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be. Just keep an eye on them and see where this goes.
It’s been a few months since we’ve done one of these but as we prepare for another onslaught of solicitations from SDCC, here is a list of approximately 50 outstanding preorders* (U.S. only) for Black Series and Vintage Collection items. If you’ve preordered everything, the list is large but about a year ago at this time it was in the range of 80-90 preorders yet to be fulfilled. Yay progress!
*if an item isn’t on the list, there is a chance it has already been found at retail but preorders haven’t been fulfilled.
