Can someone tell me if the 40th anniversary figures will be re-released in the standard black series packaging? The 40th anniversary figs are very expensive, I missed them when they were first released. Luke, Han, Leia,Chewie, Artoo, Threepio, Obi-Wan, Stormtrooper, X-Wing Luke,and Tusken Raider already have been. Vader and Stormtrooper again are in the first TLJ wave, and Hasbro already said Jawa and Death Star Commander will be out in the boxes at some point in the future. Nothing has been said about a possible R5-D4 rerelease.

my Walmart jumped the gun on Force Friday, just saw all the 3.75 inch figures and playsets from The Last Jedi, no 6 inch Black Series though. Don't collect the small figures so I didn't get any, but its cool to see them a week early!

One of my Walmarts sat out the Last Jedi product 3.75" and those 12 inch titan heroes or whatever they're called. I tried to pickup some of the 3.75" stuff, but they were "restricted sale" even thru the self check out. Bit of a tease. I will say several of these ,despite the 5 poa, are very well done.

For those of you who collect stuff loose, what did you do with all of your old boxes? I kept all of my black series boxes but today I realised I have too many taking up space so started a clear out. I think I'll keep some like Boba Fett, Yoda and my favourites but I may just throw the other boxes away (or recycle them I should say.) Got quite a few Lego boxes I could lose too.

I put up some shelves the other day for my figures and realised im coming down with too many so im going to have stop collecting star wars

Hey guys, I'm new to the Star Wars game, branching out a bit with my collections. Bought some Figuarts and am now looking to get the key characters in the black series. Lucked out and found a few of the 40th anniversary figs the other day at my TRU (Leia, Luke, Ben) ... I think I missed the timetable on when these came out. I just found these from Wave 1 of the 40th anniversary the other day ... are more Wave 1 and 2 figures going to hit stores going forward, or is a certain online auction site my best bet? I see they're going for quite a bit and I didn't know if it's an early buyer thing or if that's all I should expect to see at retail.

You'd be surprised what they might go for. But specify in all-caps "BOXES ONLY! NO FIGURE!"

Gotcha. Looks like I have poor timing on this one, lol. Any reason as to why I would suddenly find three fresh figures at my TRU the other day?

But I don't believe they're shipping anymore. Except there's supposed to be some R2 and Han cases released to a toy website that can't be mentioned here.

Yeah it was just weird to me because I've been at that TRU every day this week (I live super close, lol) and suddenly three were just on the shelves the other day. It's a shame these are so hard to find, they look fantastic and I really want a set loose and a set to keep MOC.

I still see Leia and some of the figures from series 2 every now and then while I'm out looking.

Is the Tusken Raider from the 40th black series any different than the one in the box?

The 5POA Episode 7 figures were mostly awful. The 5POA R1 figures were pretty great The 5POA Episode 8 figures look even better! We're getting there lol
