Over the past few months we have seen Hasbro launch a program across many of their licenses and IP that gets some older, in-demand and expensive (on the secondary market) products back in circulation. This program was unoffically announced via online retailer Nerdzoic several months ago via a YouTube video.

Recent shipping data shows that there is some sort of convention exclusive figure/pack arriving in the U.S.. It is currently unknown what “Con Ex 4” includes but it does confirm the existence of one of our rumored items on our Master List. While this may be an exclusive for a future event like SDCC, it could also simply be something for Hasbro Pulse, similar to the Black Series Super Battle Droid & C-3PO/Battle Droid 2pk as that set had the code name of “Conv Excl 1”. Maybe this is something that will be announced Friday at the May 3rd Fanstream?
Stay tuned for additional updates as we learn more.
