Now up for Pre-Order (with December ship date) at Toys R Us (https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=135584646).
And, to head off Rob's eventual question - YES, this is a new/different figure. It is the third version of the Elite Praetorian guard. Not the same as the one in the 2-pack with Rey. Not the same as the one in the playset with Snoke. Same body. Different head/helmets. Different weapons. ;)
2-Pack = Elite Praetorian Guard (with Double Blade)
Playset = Elite Praetorian Guard (with Single Blade)
TRU Force Link = Elite Praetorian Guard (with Whip-Staff)

They're onto me... Hey guys, swap out a small detail and Rob will buy another one!
Plus the Walmart Black Series one...

Yeah, three 5POA versions and the Walmart 3.75" one, which is a super-articulated version of the Playset's 'with Single Blade" version.

Kind of sucks folks who buy the playset will end up with two of these Force Link things. But then maybe your dudes can talk to each other if you wear the links on both wrists. Actually if I were Hasbro, I'd be selling that hard.

Has anyone tried to see if the head from the Rey/Guard two pack fits on the Walmart 3.75" SA body?

I have heard you can swap them pretty easy, but I don't have the SA version yet to verify that... :-\

Interesting - so that might mean that when we do get a TVC Praetorian Guard, there's a good chance that it will come with one of the two other helmet designs...
As soon as I get two TBS 3.75" Praetorian Guards, I'm doing a head-swap with the one that came with Rey.

I did a head swap this evening. The 5poa head is a little loose in the SA body so you will need to fill the head a bit for a tight fit. As such the SA head will need a little work to open it up to fit on the 5poa head if you are so inclined
