Fan First Wednesday: May 4th Edition
It’s Star Wars Day! What should we expect in terms of reveals and preorders? Look no further than last year as your rough guideline as to the types and quantities of products announced/revealed and available for preorder the following day on May 5th. For preorders, by my count, we should see about 12 mainline and fan channel items split evenly between the Vintage Collection and Black Series lines. There may be a couple retailer exclusives as well that may or may not throw off that balance.
Next week’s May 4th Fan First Wednesday Livestream kicks off at 10am ET.

This request applies to Vintage Collection and Black Series preorders alike.
