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.

TVC Lando (Skiff Guard) Confirmed
Another rumor of ours that was officially confirmed today was the Walmart Exclusive Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) figure for the Vintage Collection. As you can see in the above shot from @JustinaLaSalata, it looks excellent!
Rumor Report: 6″ Black Series Archive Wave 2 Codes
After an extensive search online, we’ve located and added the UPCs and Walmart SKUs for the second wave of 6″ Black Series Archive (BSA) figures to our 2019 Master List of products. As you recall, Hasbro officially announced back in October at NYCC 2018 that wave 2 would consist of Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and the Biker Scout/Scout Trooper. Darth Maul* on the other hand has been on our rumor lists for a while and based on the UPC info found above, we now have Maul’s accurate (yet unofficial) confirmation. Case breakdown isn’t known at this time but we can guess that it will be similar to Wave 1 with a 2x pack out.
*Note: the image for Maul is not of the actual BSA figure.

Rumor Report: Star Wars “Story In A Box” Update
Right before NYCC, we posted a report about an upcoming $10 assortment of Hasbro figures referred to as Star Wars: Story in a Box*. The first four figures include Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and R2-D2. After some further investigating, I’ve found there are four more of these sets (probably wave 2) that includes Princess Leia, Han Solo, Stormtrooper and Yoda. Watch for additional details on this product line soon.
As with all of our advanced rumor reports, details of these products are subject to change and/or cancellation altogether.
*Officially named “Galaxy of Adventures”
Update: Rumor Report: 3.75″ Star Wars: Resistance Figures
For those curious about Hasbro releasing new figures for the upcoming Star Wars: Resistance animated series, I can confirm today (via some online digging) that there are at least 6 figures (Kaz and Torra to name a couple) so far and they are a mix of Resistance and First Order characters. Stay tuned later this week for additional info on these figures and more.

Update: “Mythological” Codes Reveal Possible Han Solo Products?
Based on the our report from yesterday regarding the new Hero Series product names (Zeus and Vesta) found online, there is speculation/coincidence that these may be the first indicators that products for the untitled Han Solo movie could rely on Greek/Roman mythology to mask the character names from the film. Thoughts?
UPDATE 01/5/18: Names found so far: Zeus (Han), Athena (Qi’Ra), Vesta, Hercules (Chewbacca), Hermes (Lando), Artemis, Minotaur (Mimban), Gorgon, Cyclops, Perseus, Pegasus (Millennium Falcon), and Cronus (Moloch)
