There has been a bit of confusion surrounding the retail partner for the 6″ 40AC R5-D4 figure. Original claims out of Toy Fair stated that it would be exclusive to Entertainment Earth, but the images from Hasbro indicated that GameStop would be offering the figure. We’ve received information that Entertainment Earth IS NOT carrying it and it will in fact be sold through GameStop/ThinkGeek.
I just received a voice mail from GameStop stating that preorders for the Qui-Gon Jinn POP! figure from Funko have been canceled by the manufacturer. If you have one on preorder, your account should/will be credited the $5.00 down payment.
GameStop looks to be the place where you can get the LEGO Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle polybag when you preorder (and pickup) LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Note: the terms stipulate that you must pickup the game the first day it’s available (6/28/2016) in order to receive the free polybag.
If you are collecting the new wave of Funko POP! figures from The Force Awakens, GameStop.com has several of them in stock at ready to ship. Just search for “EPISODE VII POP” and use code “SAVER” for free shipping.
Thanks to Corey from First Order Transmissions for the heads-up.
GameStop has added 3 new, exclusive classic busts from Gentle Giant to their store. The Stormtrooper (available now), Boba Fett (available Oct. 16) and TIE Fighter Pilot (available Dec. 2016). Each are priced at $79.99.
Twitter follower @MayTheFunkoBeWithYou shares an image from GameStop’s database confirming the release of an exclusive POP! Rey with X-Wing Helmet. Look for it in stores around July 1.
