As a follow up to our report from April, it looks like wave 19 of the 6″ Black Series assortment is shaping up as follows:
1x Val
1x Imperial Patrol Trooper
1x L3-37
1x Rio Durant
1x Dengar
1x Princess Leia – Hoth Outfit
1x Lando Calrissian – Skiff Guard
1x Han Solo – Bespin Outfit (Wave 18 repack)
As you can see, this is one of the strongest waves of Black Series to come out in some time. Watch for official preorders to go live soon.
Target’s Exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker (Ahch-To Island) has now been marked down 50% to $14.98 in some locations as I found this morning at my local store (Plymouth, MN). As always, your mileage may vary in finding similar discounts in your area.
Well, it looks it our initial report of the Vintage Collection wave 2 was accurate after all as Robot Kingdom has posted the case assortment breakdown. 3 new figures will be issued in this wave: Han Solo, Enfys Nest, Imperial Combat Tank Driver plus a repack Death Trooper from Walmart’s exclusive TBS line and finally, 4 peg roasting carry forwards consisting of Kylo Ren, Rey, Supreme Leader Snoke and First Order Stormtrooper. Head on over to check it out, plus take a gander at the (poorly kept secret) Enfys Nest carded figure.
Collector Kyle B. writes in with an update regarding the non-functional Wampa and Luke set from the Force Link 2.0 line. Per a conversation with Hasbro’s customer help department, this issue will be addressed in the next update, remedying the annoying “Firmware Update Required” utterance the Wampa current triggers.
After some research on new intel gathered recently, there appears to be at least one new playset from Solo: A Star Wars Story hitting shelves soon. Details are sketchy (i.e. blurry) but based on the terrain, it looks to be Vandor themed with some sort of faux conveyex feature. It includes 1 figure (possibly Vandor Han or Chewie – both of which were revealed in the Force Link app update) and is priced at $44.99.

An image of the upcoming 6″ Black Series Rebel Trooper has been posted on a Facebook group courtesy of Brian Metz. This figure is part of the next wave (18) of figures at 1 per case, so expect it to be a bit tough to find at retail at first. Your best bet may be to order from one of our sponsors like Entertainment Earth or DorksideToys who will be receiving full cases of this figure. Watch for preorder announcements soon.
GameStop is also taking preorders for their exclusive Black Series Battle Front Shock Trooper Helmet. Retail price is $99.99 and ships starting on July 17.
