Instagram follower Jeremy B sends us this image confirming our May report of an upcoming exclusive 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure. A friend of his purchased it from a recent Disney storage sale.
Walmart was originally thought to be the retailer of this yet to be announced exclusive, but based on new info that may not be the case.
9/13: Some additional poking about has also led us to the fact that the new 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi (which we discovered back in May) will probably be a deluxe release and with a higher price point (similar to General Grievous) than the standard Black Series figure. Still no word on exclusivity or what extras Luke may include.
Update 9/16: Unfortunately, I cross-referenced this figure with another yet to be revealed deluxe figure. ROTJ Luke will feature a standard box size and price point release. Sorry about the mix up. 🙁
Collectors who preordered the exclusive 6” Black Series Emperor Palpatine with Throne from Amazon have started receiving processing and shipping notifications for their orders. This set was originally slated for an October release but it looks to have been moved up.
Hot Toys has announced their 1:6 scale Princess Leia and Wicket Set from Return of the Jedi. This special bundle includes an exclusive pair of weathered Death Star Trooper and Stormtrooper helmets.
Aside from the set, each figure is also available individually. You can check out each items and HotToys.hk

Yesterday I posted via Facebook that I managed to find shipping manifest info revealing that the Vintage Collection Skiffs and Skiff Guard 3 pk. are enroute to the US from China. Now this morning, we’ve received word that processing notifications have started going out to those that preordered these items and should be expecting shipment in the next 10 days. So keep an eye on your inboxes!

We’ve canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. We must also apologize for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion.
If you are still interested in purchasing this item, it may be available from other sellers.
Thanks to sheevpalpatine for the alert.
After a long weekend of ignoring my family* to bring you the latest rumors, we kick things off this week with info for more Hasbro product coming later this year. Remember all info is subject to change and cancellation by the manufacturer (Hasbro) and no assurances can be made as to when and where these will be available, if at all.
How about another? Expect to see a new version of Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi in the not to distant future.
