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.

Rumor Report: Black Series “Chair” Roleplay item Up for PReorder next Week?
Word is there may be another Black Series roleplay item up for preorder next week. If you recall, the Wedge Antilles Helmet had a code name of “Couch” while this new item has a code name of “Chair” – the furniture theme seems to indicate they’d be part of the same segment of collectibles. Could it be Rey’s yellow lightsaber from TROS or something wearable. We shall see in a couple of days.
Rumor Report: 2-3 More Black Series Gaming Greats Preorder to Open at GameStop Next Week?
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.
Rumor Report: Target Exclusive Black Series Figures Set to Arrive May 19 (Street Date TbD)
Following up on some previous reports here and here, I received info that the 4 rumored Target Exclusive Black Series figures “SUN”, “SNOW”, “RAIN” and “WIND” are on the way to Target distribution centers and have an expected arrival date in stores on or about May 19. (Street date TBD). It’s a good bet that these will be revealed as part of the May the 4th festivities planned – unless they leak prior to then. It is unknown which figures they all are except for one which I was told is some version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assist.
