In my searches for new, unannounced products* today I managed to find a listing for an item that includes 5 Force Link 2.0 figures. It is unknown if it is another playset or a simple figure multipack but it includes at least one exclusive figure – Holographic Maz Kanata, plus Rey (Island Journey), Kylo Ren, a First Order Stormtrooper and Poe. I will share more details such as price and availability when possible.
*All rumors are unofficial and subject to cancellation by the manufacturer. No proprietary (non-public) information was used in the assemblage of this report.
Another web search has turned up new information for wave 2 of the Force Link 2 assortment of Star Wars figures. It appears Qi’ra and Chewbacca will be carried forward from wave 1, plus new figure code named “Chronos*” , Kylo Ren, Supreme Leader Snoke (which we first revealed here) and Princess Leia (Hoth Outfit) are added to the mix.
All info has been added to our 2018 Master List for easy reference.
*Chronos’ code name represents Moloch, per the reveal LEGO sets for Solo: A Star Wars Story.

During Hasbro’s 2017 earnings conference call this morning, CEO Brian Goldner stated that, in the future, product launches (i.e. events like Force Friday) for Star Wars entertainment will be timed closer to the entertainment’s release and not have months of lead in as happened with The Force Awakens, Rogue One and The Last Jedi and more in the vein of how it’s being handled for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
For those that are still collecting POP! figures from Funko (and merchandise from The Last Jedi), keep your sensors peeled at Target as they’ll soon be received an exclusive Resistance BB Unit.
