For some reason, GameStop (in the U.S.) is cancelling Black Series Nightbrother Warrior (Gaming Greats) figure preorders. You may recall, this figure went up for preorder way back in May 2021.
Shipping records show that cases of GameStop Exclusive 6” Black Series Umbra Operative ARC Trooper (Gaming Greats) have arrived via the Port of Houston, TX. Expected release date is still April 1.
As part of the the Bring Home the Bounty program, Hasbro has revealed 4 new Gaming Greats releases from Battlefront II. The Vintage Collection gets 3 distinct ARC Trooper releases:
Umbra Operatve ARC Trooper (Entertainment Earth exclusive)
ARC Trooper – Red (BBTS Exclusive)
Lambent Seeker ARC Trooper (Fan Channel Exclusive)
and for the Black Series
Umbra Operative ARC Trooper (Gamestop Exclusive)
Look for these to go on preorder tomorow at 1pm ET at their respective retailers.
We have rumored that these would be returning for a few months now but we now have our first look at the upcoming second series of Black Series (Holiday Edition) figures from Hasbro. Nothing for these have been officially announced, but what I have been able to determine by using SKU, code name and shipping information, the retailers breakout as follows:
Target – Mandalorian Warrior
Walmart – Scout Trooper
Amazon – Wookiee
GameStop – First Order Stormtrooper
Best Buy – Protocol Droid

Today’s Bring Home the Bounty has revealed that the next Gaming Greats figure (08) will be the Imperial Senate Guard from The Force Unleashed. Preorders open tomorrow at 1pm ET at GameStop.
I previously speculated that this would be the Shadow Guard based on the artwork used on the Republic Commando packaging.
What do you think? Is this a better option than we surmised or a let down?
