Short and sweet. Here is a quick rundown of the reveals/confirmations shown at today’s special Fan First Tuesday event.
Continue reading Fan First Tuesday – Star Wars Day RecapI’ve been doing some research and conferring with sources over the past few days to get some sort of grasp on what may (and may not) be revealed and available for preorder tomorrow.

ToyingAround will be doing a live unboxing of these figures in partnership with Hasbro and ToysRUs – the exclusive distributor for these in Canada – on May 4th at 7:30pm ET.
Until then, click the images above for a closer look.
Like previous years, it looks like Target will have a special Fathers Day section that includes a few Star Wars items (toys, clothes, etc.) — 4 of which are Black Series figures with code names “APPLE“, “APRICOT” and “ACAI” (the 4th is currently unknown) and are priced at $24.99. These figures are planned for release starting as soon as Sunday, May 23 and may be the secondary code names for recently announced Black Series figures from The Clone Wars.
Thanks to TargetGod and Jason for some of the supporting intel.
StarWars.com has officially announced 4 new Black Series figures to commemmorate the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm and The Clone Wars. The figures include Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, ARC Trooper Echo and Clone Pilot Hawk. These figures also correlate to our reports of 4 exclusive TBS figures coming to Target.
087-16-7462 “Snow” – Obi-Wan Kenobi
087-16-4919 “Sun” – Anakin Skywalker
087-16-9397 “Rain” – Clone Pilot Hawk
087-16-9980 “Wind” – ARC Trooper Echo
These will also be available through ToysRUs in Canada.
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.
