Black/Red Box Black Series Wave 9 or Rogue One Wave 3 or whatever we're calling it - it's up for pre-order at EE:
http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HSB3834J&id=JE-405087801
Once again, Leia is in the case assortment, which may or may not be correct based on the rumor mill...
1x SW E4 PRINCESS LEIA ORANGE
1x SW E5 AT AT DRIVER
1x SW E4 OBI WAN KENOBI
1x SW R SABINE WREN
1x SW DARTH REVAN
1x SW E5 SNOWTROOPER
-
If there was EVER a case to preorder online, it's this one. I have no faith that I will ever see these at retail.
-
Sabine, Leia and Revan are on eBay together.

Whoever is running that auction is great at stealing Official Hasbro PR pics (http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Conventions/Toy_Fair_2016/Hasbro/Star_Wars/The_Black_Series_6-inch), I guess. :P
-
Link to the case in Jeff's OP is now redirected to a "PRODUCT NOT FOUND" page. Guessing it has to do with the Leia delay?
-
Dang, it's like that little mountain climber guy just slipped all the way back to the bottom on Price is Right....I can hear the music playing now. :-[

Revan wave has been found at GameStop in the US (Georgia).

Minnesota too apparently! :o
Man, this is not only going to be the best wave ever but the hardest to find to I predict. Especially hitting at the height of the shopping season. I shall be hitting up a lot of Gamestops come tomorrow morning!
-
Got my 10 day pre-shipping notice from BBTS today for the Darth Revan wave.
-
This wave looks fantastic. I just need to decide how many Snowtroopers I
want need.
-
Three variants now for this wave, you're killing me, Hasbro!
1) AT-AT Driver/Pilot
2) Sabine holster peg/no holster peg
3) Snowtrooper Glossy finish/Matte finish
I had to hold a pair of Snowtroopers side by side to notice that last one, but it is legit. (Credit to RS on this one) one has a much duller, less glossy finish and slightly different paint apps on the Kama and boots. Glad to have one of each, by pure luck apparently.
Still need a Sabine with holster peg though.
-
I've got the Sabine with peg holsters in my shipment. I think to be screen accurate, I'd need the one without, right? I am holding off opening her anyways to see if I can find one with better eye paint apps... same with Leia.
I got the Pilot variant, but I don't think that matters much to me.
I'm hoping there's another variant for the Snowtrooper that makes the body glove more white. It seems too brown or orange.
-
I recently got this wave from a small retailer as I wasn't having any luck finding a trace of it at mass retail. Fantastic wave with all new/original figures and no repacks. Glad to finally have an ANH Leia and Obi Wan to add to the collection - with the bonuses being the AT-AT Driver and Snowtrooper. Nice to see Sabine looking more realistic than the cartoon version. I'm debating whether or not to open some of the figures or leave them alone for now and order another case.
-
I heard a rumor the Darth Revan is not actually an ebay exclusive. ::)
Anyone seen any of this wave in a Target, Walmart, TRU?
-
Just Gamestop so far. There were also reports that Revan had turned up on HTS, but I've been checking that site regularly to no avail.
-

2) Sabine holster peg/no holster peg
3) Snowtrooper Glossy finish/Matte finish
It appears that there might be a fourth. A Princess Leia with better likeness... I'm sure that will only be available in the rumored Early Bird set.

Yeah, still waiting on running change TFA Han with grey hair that we were promised too.
-
Glad to finally have Darth Revan in hand. Thankfully Dorksidetoys had one and I was able to score it there.
I've also seen this rumor circulating that brick & mortar retailers may have largely passed on this particular assortment because of the lack of a ROGUE ONE character in the case lineup.
SERIOUSLY? I thought that Hasbro had a policy of not letting retailers pick and choose what assortments they received. Perhaps that situation has changed?
-
Plus it had Revan, a sure hit with EU fans and scalpers, 2 female characters (#where'srey? and Leia which might draw additional sales with Carrie's passing with nostalgia), and army builders. Ben is also recognizable.
If it's true retailers skipped on this wave, I'm glad I bought mine online.
-
The owner of Dorkside also mentioned over at RS that at least one major retailer (Target, Walmart or TRU) passed on the Revan wave because there were no Rogue One figures in it.

An on-line retailer was rumoring/speculating that brick-and-mortar retail might not get something so you better buy from... an online retailer? Nothing fishy about that at all... :P
-
DOH!
I didn't read into the self-serving nature of that. I was a little too focused on being able to get Revan, since I got the rest of the wave at brick & mortar retail.
-
Yeah, what Jeff said. I think the biggest issue with the Revan wave at retail is the piles of RO Wave 1 at every single WM. Those pallets had like 50 figures in them on Force Friday, most of which are still in overstock right now.
-
Scoff if you will, but that guy regularly posts reliable information and runs a very reputable site. I really don't think he was just trying to drum up business.
And none of the retailers around here are clogged with anything except Walmart. TRU and Target have plenty of space for more 6" figures.
Time will tell I suppose...
-
Just ran a report (http://yakfaceforums.com/main/2017/03/17/6-revan-found-at-best-buy/) that the Revan wave (Revan himself actually) was found at Best Buy in Atlanta. Might want to pop in to your local store if you're in need.
-
That's crazy...no sign of any Revans at the BB's around here, but I did find the Jedha Revolt pack at one of them today. That was kinda cool to check out up close.
-
Does anyone know how to tell if Sabine has the peg holster or not without opening the package? Anything else to look for? I have only seen the one I have in person, but from photos I can't ascertain if there's a peg or not with the plastic pushing the holster up against her hip.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to tell from looking at the unopened package. I have tried myself but she is packed in so tightly that it's impossible to say for sure. I was hoping there might be a different lot # stamp for one versus the other, but having never found the pegged version I don't have any way to compare. :(
If you figure out a way I'd love to know too!
-
Mine's definitely pegged. I can see the peg at the bottom and the gap in the middle portion between holster and leg.
The lot stamp I have is 62701. Is that the same/different than the one you (McMetal or JMan) have?

I will try to dig my box out tonight and check...thanks for confirming yours!

Bummer. Mine is peg-free and date stamp 62701.

I haven't opened mine yet, but it sure looks like there's a peg at the bottom of the holster attached to the leg. It would be funny to find mine is peg-free too and I've been complaining.

Are you keeping them sealed? Mine looked like it had a peg too as the holster is pressed against the leg, but that's just the way the packaging forces it in. I don't see any way to tell without popping it open.

According to StarWarsCollector (http://starwarscollector.com/index.php/hd-photo-gallery/the-black-series/41-the-black-series-action-figures-6/665-33-sabine-wren), date stamp 62561 is pegged holster, date stamp 62701 is no peg holster.

No, always an opener. It just looked like the pegged version so I figured I'd wait and get the peg-free one and return the other. But, with Jeff's note, I'm going to check...

starwarscollector.com is wrong. Mine is pegged with the 62701 date stamp... or maybe it's an error variant (j/k)!!

My 2 Revans arrived from Hasbro Toy Shop the other day. Not gonna lie, I was tempted to keep the second one and scalp it instead of selling it at MSRP to my collector buddy. >:D

Just an FYI that this wave is back in-stock at EE:

This wave is apparently hitting JC Penney's stores, of all places. Multiple Revan/Sabine finds on Reddit. Might not be a bad idea to check your local stores.
-
Yep, I hit two of our remaining stores last week and saw Ben, Leia, AT-AT Driver, Sabine and Snowtrooper. No sign of you know who. Cool that they are getting stuff though...
