Here’s some good news regarding the Forces of Destiny line. The Luke with Yoda Adventure Figure set is in stock and ready to ship from sponsor Entertainment Earth.
Another one bites the dust. Entertainment Earth has sent notifications to those who preordered the Forces of Destiny Sabine Wren with Graffiti Speeder that this item is now cancelled. We initially posted the rumor of its pending released back in December. Things are looking dire for those Creatures and Droids adventure packs we reported as well, at least in the U.S.
Thanks to Star Wars Collector for the heads-up.
As we continue to assemble our upcoming checklist for the product launch on April 13 for Solo: A Star Wars Story, we’ve heard of two more vehicles coming as part of the Class B assortment. One is a repack from The Last Jedi – the A-Wing Fighter with Tallie, the other is rumored to be Han’s Landspeeder (with Han) as seen in the leaked production photos as well as the LEGO set (75209). Considering the number of repacks and non-Solo film related figures/vehicles coming out that day, the merchandising tie-ins seem to be quite low – maybe lower than Rogue One.
Since the Battle on Crait was a bust in getting the Force Projection Luke figure, I thought I’d take an unscientific poll on what company will release/announce one first? Click on through to the comments to weigh in on the 4 options.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has sent out the first look at the upcoming Battle on Crait Home Entertainment pack. It includes Rey (Jedi Apprentice, salt on boots), First Order Snowtrooper, First Order Gunner, and Rose (Crait Poncho) Click on through for high-res images.
BrickSeek has added a new UPC and DPCI for the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story Flagship/Playset with (3.75″) figure coming in April from Hasbro. The MSRP is $99.99. We added this to the growing Master List of UPCs/DPCIs and Walmart SKUs for 2018.
UPDATE: Pure speculation on my part but the “flagship” may be a prototype star destroyer as we revealed in this post regarding Hot Wheels Starship coming out for Solo.
Walmart stores are starting to roll back TBS 3.75″ prices again. Let us know if you’re seeing the same thing in your area.
Uh-oh. Entertainment Earth has updated the links for the basic Princess Leia and Rey adventure dolls as well as a Padmé Mission Set to “Cancelled” status. We’re not sure what this means for the continuation of the line, considering the deep, deep clearances at retail. Toy Fair should reveal more regarding the line’s destiny for collectors.
