Hasbro will once again be broadcasting a special Star Wars Day Fanstream on Wednesday, May 3 at 11am ET on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel. Watch for new Vintage Collection and Black Series preorders to go live on Thursday, May 4.

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.
