I don't think we have threads for these yet and with SDCC coming up, thought it might be nice to start getting some threads ready for Force Friday II in a few weeks!
Rumor (via Yakface (http://yakfaceforums.com/main/2017/07/15/rumor-report-details-for-the-black-series-on-force-friday-ii/#more-33831)):
Wave 2:
1x Snowtrooper (Wave 9 repack)
1x AT-AT Driver (Wave 9 repack)
1x Poe Dameron (Episode VIII)
1x Kylo Ren (Episode VIII) – wave 1 carry forward
1x Victor 2 (Snoke) Chewbacca Maz Kanata?
1x Victor Guard 2 (Episode VIII – Elite Praetorian Guard)
1x General Leia (Episode VII)
1x Finn (Episode VIII)
-
The only problem with having individualized Praetorian Guards is that you can't army build those suckers like you could the ERG's.
I hope we see some of these new figures at SDCC this week.
-
I know the Snowtrooper and AT-AT Driver are being repacked for the Hoth Luke diorama, but yeesh... get ready for some $4 sales on Amazon
-
Wave 1 seems to be a good assortment. I'm not so sure about this assortment though.
-
Update: based on some new info discovered, I think that Snoke (Victor 2) in this case asst. is now Chewbacca (Alpha 1).
-
New Chewbacca or just the ep 7 version?
-
So, now Chewbacca is out and Maz is in (maybe)? (http://yakfaceforums.com/main/2017/08/08/a-different-tbs-alien-available-on-force-friday/)
Current Wave 2 case pack rumor:
1x TFA General Leia
1x TFA Maz Kanata
1x TLJ Poe Dameron (Resistance Captain)
1x TLJ Finn (Resistance Fighter)
1x TLJ Elite Praetorian Guard
1x TLJ Kylo Ren (TLJ wave 1 carry forward)
1x ESB AT-AT Driver (repack)
1x ESB Snowtrooper (repack)

Saw someone had found a pic of Kylo at Amazon.es and so I went snooping (search Black Series 8 and also Black Series E8) and found Finn.
SPOILERS
He's in his FO Officer disguise.
-
That's 2 Rose figures they could do right off the bat too!
-
This wave hit eBay today. Maz confirmed plus, First Order Finn, Cap. Poe, General Leia, and Elite Guard
-
After giving it some careful consideration, and recalling how it went down last time, I have concluded there is 0.00% chance of me finding this wave at a store Thursday night.
Meijers was the only chain that got Wave 2 for the last FF launch, and we don't have that store here, so it's looking like Amazon for me.

They (wave 2) will be able to be ordered from online retailers. EE, Dorkside, etc.

Thanks Jayson, I am hoping Amazon and TRU.com get them too. or even HTS.
-
Most interested in Leia out of this wave.
-
This wave appears to be in stock at Amazon for retail ($19.99 - $21.99) at this time. The last time I saw them in stock they went pretty fast.
-
Saw this wave at Target today

Saw this wave at Target today
Thank you for posting this! I have not seen this information at any other websites, so that is very helpful. I haven't even stepped foot in a Target since FF but it is good to know they are potentially relevant once again.
-
I just bought a Praetorian Guard off of Amazon for $21.99. Although I do have to scratch my head a little bit about their pricing. Where is the line set where Amazon determines which characters sell for $19.99 and others sell for $21.99? Because I've seen both prices used for figures sold by Amazon (not marketplace sellers).
-
Spotted this wave at Target today too, the first restock of anything since Force Friday. I'm broke at the moment so I had to pass, but I'm banking on everything but the guard pegwarming.
-
This Wave showed up at HTS yesterday too but I got there 5 seconds too late and missed all the good ones. :(
-
Found this whole wave Friday at Target, then managed to pick up a second Praetorian Guard Saturday, so I am all caught up again, except for stupid Obi-Wan.
I opened them all up last night and am really impressed with the lot. They are all very well sculpted and I had the luxury of shopping around for the best paint apps, so no complaints there.
I particularly love the Guard as there are so many cool poses you can get out of it, albeit with a bit of futzing. Can't wait for the Amazon one now.
Finn is an awesome base for Imperials. That cap is so well done too.
-
My schedule was too crazy to get to NYCC this weekend, despite an offer of free passes for Sunday. One detail came up about the Praetorian Guards from the Lucasfilm exhibit for Episode 8 at NYCC. According to that there are a whopping 8 Praetorian Guards!
I like some army building, but not so much in this scale. I'm going to wind up with a total of three: the wave 2 version, the Amazon exclusive, and the one from the 4-pack that looks like he's got a dish crazy glued to the top of his helmet. I got my wave 2 Praetorian. I don't think the Amazon version is getting released until December. And I'm still waiting to hear from GameStop about my pre-order for the Guards 4-pack.
-
These are hitting local WMs pretty hard, with the Praetorian Guard and Leia being first to go. Maz seems to sit. Poe, Finn, the Imperials, and Kylo are all sitting. I saw at least 4 at the 2 WMs I went to over the weekend.
I did grab a Poe, however, and would like to grab more if these hit discounts to swap heads with the other TBS Poe figures.
-
I saw this wave yesterday at V-Stock, but wasn't grabbing anything at $24.99. They also had several ERGs, so they must have gotten in a solid case of them.
-
