We have very awesome update to report via JTA reader Manny Mendoza. Until now, the fate of the black Rebel Commando has remained elusive for collectors and Hasbro has not been forthcoming about its fate. Is it exclusive to the 2011 SDCC Revenge Of The Jedi [Death Star II] set? We have the answer. Click through for more!

Good day,
Just sending some more clarification on the contents of TVC wave 9 in the Philippines. In particular, the contents of the case and which are on Revenge OTJ chase cards.
Aside from the posts sent by Bryan German last week, Wicket and the Rebel Commando were not put on the store pegs until yesterday only (quite a surprise). Of interest would be the Rebel Commando which was posted in Entertainment Earth as the regular fair skinned bearded soldier. However, the actual case revealed its the african american one on Revenge card.
Regards,
Trooper Manny
