Images of new Hasbro product from Solo: A Star Wars Story have made their way online from Nuremberg Toy Fair. We get our first look at Han Solo, Qi’Ra, Range Trooper, Lando Calrissian, Kessel Guard, TIE Fighter, and more.
Stay tuned later today for some new Hasbro product release details we’ve found.
As we continue to assemble our upcoming checklist for the product launch on April 13 for Solo: A Star Wars Story, we’ve heard of two more vehicles coming as part of the Class B assortment. One is a repack from The Last Jedi – the A-Wing Fighter with Tallie, the other is rumored to be Han’s Landspeeder (with Han) as seen in the leaked production photos as well as the LEGO set (75209). Considering the number of repacks and non-Solo film related figures/vehicles coming out that day, the merchandising tie-ins seem to be quite low – maybe lower than Rogue One.
BrickSeek has added a new UPC and DPCI for the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story Flagship/Playset with (3.75″) figure coming in April from Hasbro. The MSRP is $99.99. We added this to the growing Master List of UPCs/DPCIs and Walmart SKUs for 2018.
UPDATE: Pure speculation on my part but the “flagship” may be a prototype star destroyer as we revealed in this post regarding Hot Wheels Starship coming out for Solo.
We have a handful of new UPCs and Target DPCIs to share today (via Brickseek) for product slated to arrive with the launch of Solo: A Star Wars Story products in April. The codes relate to Hasbro’s Class A assortment of Force Link vehicles/creatures and their line of Deluxe Hero Series figures. Click on through of the list.

Hot on the heels of the minifigure leak from earlier today, Rebelscum has posted the first look at six sets from Solo: A Star Wars Story and as suspected, it uses the graphics that leaked out from Russian sources. Head on over for a closer look.
Another LEGO mini figure has leaked from Solo: A Star Wars Story. This time we get a (stylized) first look at the Imperial Range Trooper. Since we won’t post image here, you can find pics in the usual spots (reddit and/or Instagram).
UPDATE: Names have now leaked for 5 LEGO sets planned for the April launch. Details at reddit via manabyte
One of the listings that we posted last week for the Force Link 2pks for Solo: A Star Wars Story has been updated. It now includes the description: “SWU S2 Hermes and Perseus Guard” and, as we deciphered the other day, “Hermes” is the code name for “Lando Calrissian”. This marks the first Force Link character we’ve been able to confirm for the 3.75″ Force Link/SWU line for Solo. The pertinent info as been transferred to our Master UPC/SKU page found over in the right column of the site. Stay tuned for more details as we find them.
UPDATE: Perseus Guard = Kessel Guard
“What a piece of junk!”
“She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid”
“This bucket of bolts is never gonna get us past that blockade”
“Then we just float away…” “…with the rest of the garbage”
“She’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy”
“The garbage will do”
“Blast that piece of junk out of the sky!”
The Millennium Falcon has always been the subject of mockery in terms of its appearance, but there was a time when the Falcon was all-new. Han said he made some “special modifications” and soon we’ll get to see what it looked before Han took ownership. With Solo: A Star Wars Story coming out in a few months, be prepared to start seeing a fresh, slightly sleeker depiction (and a slightly different silhouette) for one of the most iconic starships in film. And as you’d expect, we’ll be seeing a wide range of toys and collectibles from Hasbro, Mattel, LEGO and more as well.
We’ve been doing a bit more digging over the weekend in order to try to shore up the breakdown for first wave of 6″ Black Series figures set to launch in April for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Like previous launches, the wave will feature figures from different film sources, not just Solo. Based on an image I’ve seen and what’s been deciphered from the code names, the wave breakdown should be as follows.
2x Han Solo
2x Imperial Range Trooper
1x Captain Lando Calrissian
1x Grand Moff Tarkin
1x Death Squad Commander (40th Anniv. repack)
1x Jawa (40th Anniv. repack)
Update 2/23/18: Death Squad Commander will now be designated “Death Star Trooper” and have Photo Real face printing.
