BREAKING NEWS! Preliminary 2016 Force Friday Plans Revealed!

Posted by Paul | March 17, 2016 at 03:17 PM ET

Well, our Research Droids came through once again! We have BREAKING NEWS on what you can expect for pre and post Force Friday (yes, we did say "pre") for Rogue One later this year. Are you interested? Of course you are! Click through for details!

As with anything, take this as a rumor until Hasbro confirms it themselves (if you must). You know that The Black Series voice changer helmet we posted about earlier today? Well, we've just learned that it is going to be an Original Trilogy Stormtrooper. (We have more to mention about this so hold tight....)

There will be eight (8) The Black Series 6" figures for Rogue One. Most will debut and have "availability" on Force Friday except for one which will be available earlier. (We have more to mention about this so hold tight.....)

All wave 1 stuff will be available on Force Friday, BUT, there is something new happening this year that should elate most collectors.

Call it a special event, or call it a pre-sale, but FOUR items (think of them as "Sneak Preview" items) will be available online for pre-sale a couple of weeks BEFORE Force Friday this year. It's currently unknown if these items will be IN STOCK at the times these go up for pre-order, but it seems like this is a strong possibility. Otherwise, why go through all of this trouble. These items include:

- The Black Series 6" Female Lead figure

- A 3.75" vehicle for the 5POA range

- The Stormtrooper (OT) voice changer helmet (TBS)

- one other item that our Research Droids haven't been able to isolate yet (stay tuned)
