As part of next week’s May the 4th festivities, watch for 2, maybe 3, 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figures to go up for preorder at GameStop. It is unknown at this time who they are or what game they are from but rest assured it will be a busy day for preorders for Black Series and Vintage Collection items from various retailers.
Robo over at TheFwoosh has posted a nice review of the new 6″ Black Series Jaxxon from Hasbro. Get the full breakdown of this fun figure over on their YouTube page. Jaxxon along with Carnor Jax and Darth Maul is shipping now from GameStop.
For those who preordered your LFL50 Black Series Comic-Based figures through GameStop, check your order status for updates and charges hitting your bank accounts as they have begun processing orders as of this weekend. Thanks to SJWoolbert for the heads-up.
The GameStop exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Rocket Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Battlefront II has arrived at GameStop’s distribution center in Texas. Expected ship date is May 1 for those who preordered.
Hot on the heels of yesterday’s reveal, the Black Series Wedge Antilles Battle Simulation Helmet (code names “Couch” & “Hazelnut’) has already reached Hasbro’s distribution warehouse in California as well as GameStop’s warehouse in Kentucky. Like a lot of product in recent months, this may reach collectors prior to its estimated released date of June 2021.
You can preorder this helmet now from our sponsors Entertainment Earth and DorksideToys.
Today we get our first in-hand look at the upcoming Deluxe 6″ Black Series Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi thanks to Star Action Figures in the UK.

As we indicated on Tuesday, Hasbro will be reissuing the 6″ Black Series Imperial Jump/Rocket Trooper as a Gaming Greats figure this week – this time with the alternate deco from Battlefront II. Preorders will open tomorrow at 1pm ET exclusively in-store and online at GameStop.com in the U.S. and at EBGames in Canada.
Keep an eye on GameStop as there may be a new 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure popping up in the next few days (if not today). Back when the Cal Kestis was announced, we noticed that on the packaging it appeared to tease some version of the previous Imperial Jumptrooper. This new/repaint figure should be 01 in the line of Gaming Greats figures for 2021, with Cal Kestis being number 02.
We will make a separate post when the preorders open.
If you have a Gamestop store in your neck of the woods, it might be worth your time to see if they have any TVC X-Wings in stock – their Daily Deal has this item with an incredible markdown… only $18.99 + tax.
It appears that the packaging for the new Cal Kestis (Gaming Greats) figure reveals the possible reissue of the Battlefront Jumptrooper for the Gaming Greats subline.
