Target has started to receive (and set on shelf) the upcoming shared exclusive Funko POP! Chewbacca for Star Wars Celebration. I found about 8 of them at my local store here in Minnesota (Maple Grove) this morning. Price and DPCI info is posted above.
As a follow-up to our exclusive report from January, it appears that the Black Series figure code named “Rouge” has started to arrive in the U.S. according to recent shipping info.

It is suspected that this item is a Target exclusive as the info doesn’t show in any other U.S. retailers’ systems (yet). Stay tuned as we try to uncover more.

There may be a couple retailer exclusives as well that may or may not throw off that balance.
Next week’s May 4th Fan First Wednesday Livestream kicks off at 10am ET.
I think I speak for a large portion (all?) of the collecting community when I make a direct plea to Hasbro and by extension, to Lucasfilm Licensing, to put a merciful end to the piecemeal preorder process of figures from the same wave/case assortment. This request applies to Vintage Collection and Black Series preorders alike.
