At 1pm, Topps will be giving away their new Star Wars Galactic Connexions trading discs to 50 lucky fans. The disc features the First Order Stormtrooper which will only be available at SDCC in an extremely limited quantity of 250. Topps Star Wars Galactic Connexions will be on sale on Force Friday, September 4th exclusively in Walmart with 85 characters to collect.
Next up – Topps will be hosting Steve Blum, the voice of Zeb from Star Wars Rebels, at booth 2913 at 3:30pm. He will be signing Topps cards for the first 50 fans.
Also, Topps has oversized vintage style cards for sale. There are ten sets to collect, each with ten cards for a total of 100.
Did you miss the SDCC panel for The Force Awakens? Admittedly it kills me to have missed it but Disney/Lucasfilm did fans a solid and posted the behind the scene video for all to loop.
Hasbro has released images from their Star Wars SDCC Presentation. Click on through for a couple surprises.
Hasbro announced a few items during their SDCC Panel:
The Black Series (6″):
Ahsoka (Rebels)
Sabine (Rebels)
Kanan (Rebels)
Jango Fett (AOTC)
Luke Skywalker Farmboy (ANH)
Elite TIE Fighter with Pilot (The Force Awakens) – $169.99
Darth Revan (Fans’ Choice Winner)
Star Wars Rebels (3.75″)
New Male Inquisitor (Season 2)
Roleplay
New FX Darth Vader Lightsaber
New FX Yoda Lightsaber
From what I heard, much more was planned to be shown, but mysteriously wasn’t. The wait continues….
Take this for what it’s worth but we received info from a retailer that states (via corporate email) that the figures for The Force Awakens are not planned to be released in waves but in one mass shipment for September 4. In essence, everything we see on Force Friday will probably be all that gets replenished until after the film’s debut.
UPDATE:
The Star Wars Black Series Stormtrooper exclusive is sold out today, but will be back tomorrow at #HasbroSDCC while supplies last!

At least people can shop safely now.
Hasbro will be selling their SDCC Exclusives including the First Order Stormtrooper via HasbroToyShop starting July 28. There is no need to constantly refresh their site immediately following SDCC. But still, plan accordingly.
