STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH REY on Crait
(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Suggested Retail Price: $34.99/Available: Fall 2017)
Imagine training in the art of the Jedi with this elite set from THE BLACK SERIES! The 6-inch scale REY (Jedi Training) figure is carefully detailed to look like the young hero from STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI with impressive detail, multiple points of articulation, and premium fabric costuming. Comes with a Crait stand inspired by one of the locations in the film, allowing collectors to easily recreate their favorite STAR WARS moments. Includes figure, stand, and four accessories. Available exclusively at Toys “R” Us.

Anyone buying into the 1:18 scale Zombie Labs kickstarter from Dream Concepts (Locker Toys)?

They are fully compatible with HACKS from Boss Fight (since Boss Fight did the design work).  I'm not really sold on the zombies, but there is a lot of nice custom fodder in those survivor figures.  Especially like the stuff like "Robin" the police officer from The Dark Knight Rises er, the world of imagination.

I'm still trying to decide just how much I can get... funds are a little tight with Force Friday coming and Chicken Fried Toys getting ready to start up their backer kit, where I'm eyeing up buying more bottle, beer mugs, weapons, and blanks/bucks for customs.

So much cool designer stuff happening in the 3.75" scale... not enough money to buy into everything.

Another unconfirmed by Hasbro, but already leaked item to add to the list - here are the details from our good pals @ Yakface:

087-06-8396 – $29.99  – Available November 1
You saw this briefly leaked on Tuesday at Jedi Temple Archives but we can confirm that this is an Exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) figure. It includes an environmental base, like the past exclusive Kylo, Rey and Jyn Erso figures from Kmart.

So, like TFA - 6" figure repacked with fancy base.  Easy to speculate that there may eventually be a 6" Resistance Rey (holding Anakin's lightsaber hilt) with base to pair with it at some point in the future...

More thread set-up in advance of Force Friday II - from the rumor mill:

Gamestop computer has a listing for:
AF SW E8 BL GUARDS OF EVIL 4PK EXCL

Which, based on the code-breaking that has been happening recently, is rumored to be:
Black Series 6" Elite Praetorian Guard 4-Pack (TLJ)

I don't believe pictures of this have leaked yet, but wanted to get a thread started so folks that haven't heard yet know about it...

Also, there is a possibility that the Elite Guard coming in Wave 2 could potentially be in this box as well... might want to take that into account before opening the Wave 2 figure and then getting stuck with doubles if you buy the 4-pack too?
