Post by: Brian on April 9, 2018, 02:22 PM: So happy to see this, sort of thought it was strange to see a lineup without Chewie - even if it was repackaging the earlier version. So glad to see a new version, can't wait to pick this up.

Yes, yes it does

Post by: Brian on April 11, 2018, 07:05 PM: So this is supposed to possibly be out this Friday as well? I'm hoping so, although I haven't seen any "leaks" of this guy yet. I know it is probably mostly re-used, but it is kind of strange to see a main character like Chewie as a store exclusive.

Post by: Diddly on April 11, 2018, 10:03 PM: I've also heard it will be out on Friday. And if it follows the previous pattern, I won't see it for 6 weeks and then suddenly it will be the only figure in stock

Not a single one of them has any on the shelves. >:(

Post by: Nicklab on May 2, 2018, 08:30 AM: I didn't see the one I got on the shelf. I looked in the aisle and on the endcap, but no Chewies. I was about to walk away when an employee asked if there was something I was looking for. I mentioned "the new Black Series exclusive figure", and he said "Oh, Chewbacca? We have that right here" and he pointed to an open carton on his stock cart. They had 2 left and I grabbed one.

BTW, good eyes, Jayson. I had no idea about the forestock on Chewie's blaster. That kind of a functional feature is pretty awesome! But the fact that some might be shipping with that part missing sort of sucks.

Post by: Diddly on May 2, 2018, 10:34 AM: I got lucky and got one of these last night. There were 3 total, all in the endcap, and all of them were the error reported by Yakface with no pump handle on the shotgun. So I guess I'm also going to be on the hunt for the corrected version.

Also of note, they all had less than stellar paint jobs on the eyes. I got the most decent one, but the eyes all ranged from "crosseyed" to "derp derp derp"

Post by: McMetal on May 2, 2018, 11:17 PM: I finally found a Target today that had put a case out. :D

Great figure, happy to have found him, bump stock and all, or whatever.

Post by: McMetal on May 18, 2018, 10:39 AM: I saw a box of SWB 6" figures on a pallet at Target marked as "Hercules" - is that this Chewie?

Was hoping it might be the Gammy, but I doubt i'm that lucky.

Yes, Chewbacca = Hercules in the Solo code names.
