Ad: Get New Hasbro at Amazon! This week: Hasbro Kenner-Style Star Wars: The Black Series Greedo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and a Jawa. Did you miss these in deco that looked modern or accurate? That's fine! Go for 1978 chic with this trio, each figure is a mere $19.99 plus shipping.
I'm very fond of the Death Trooper (Credit Collection, The Black Series 6-Inch) - the black armored trooper from Rogue One is back, splattered with orange and purple as you saw in the end credit sequence. For fans of designer toys, this Amazon-exclusive is pretty gorgeous - but you might be perfectly happy with the figure you bought a few years ago all in black. Read on!
Amazon posted its Star Wars The Black Series Speeder Bike Scout Trooper and The Child Toys 6-Inch-Scale The Mandalorian Collectible Figure and Vehicle Set (Amazon Exclusive) today for $49.99, and this is an ad link where we might get a few pennies if you click it and order. (So please do.)
The set appears to be the 2014 Speeder Bike set with a new stand, new deco on everything, and a new satchel with a baby in it. I
Not to be outdone are two packs for Amazon. These are great for your average consumer, but the long-term collector already has most of these. These are what you'll be buying for Christmas presents to the kids you're going to force Star Wars upon this holiday season. Best Buy got the villains, and Amazon got the heroes. As far as I can tell, none of these figures are particularly new other than R2-D2 looks like a different combo platter of parts for you completists.
The figures are largely collected from The Force Awakens, Saga Legends, The Last Jedi.
You can click here to order them from Amazon.com, and yes we do get a few pennies through that affiliate link so please do click it.
In a stream yesterday, Hasbro revealed several new items including 3 Amazon exclusives which were supposed to be up for sale yesterday. The pre-orders didn't seem to go live - but today, all three are up for sale on Hasbro Pulse. (I just ordered them, myself.)
These include a 40th Anniversary carded Han Solo in Carbonite Chamber (just the block, $14.99, deco may be different than the 2013 release), a 2-pack of 4-LOM and Zuckuss (Kenner-style deco, swapped names, 40th anniversary Kenner packaging), and a Carbonized Darth Vader (ugly blue, $24.99.)

Hasbro's PR team kindly sent along a press release with many new and some neewish exclusives! More are coming this fall, but for now, here's a look at what you can expect on (or around) Friday, September 30. None of the 3 3/4-inch figure exclusives are listed here, but 6-inch, prop replicas, Nerf guns, and more await you after the jump.
They're back! Prices went through the roof for the Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Stormtrooper 4-Pack [Amazon Exclusive] over the holidays, but now it's back for $79.99. It's a pretty good set, especially with the exclusive Clones and now we know the Officer is indeed in The Force Awakens. Click here to order yours.
Also back up for pre-order (due ot ship within a month) is the Star Wars The Force Awakens 3.75-Inch Figure Troop Builder 7-Pack [Amazon Exclusive]. This hasn't shipped yet, but it has the Riot Trooper that dueled Finn as well as a few other unique accessories - plus the hard-to-find Captain Phasma. It has 7 figures for $47.99, and you can click here to order it.
Update: the 6-inch set is sold out again, but the 3 3/4-inch one is was still available.
Behold, the Clone Trooper Commander! This 6-inch figure is part of Amazon's (at least temporarily) sold-out boxed set tracing the evolution of the troopers over 6 of the 7 movies. This one is, like the others, exclusive to the set - you won't find this deco elsewhere in this size. Get one if you can, and read on!
Check out the 6-inch Clone Trooper (Phase II), complete with the revised bucket we've all been dying for - and some other changes. A few deco points were altered from the previous releases, so this one is actually distinctive beyond just the helmet. (But not by much.) Should you snag this item next time Amazon restocks it for a decent price? Read on!
UPDATE #2: Amazon pulled new orders down again. Check back for more.
It's here! Or it'll be here tomorrow, Amazon tells me. If you pre-ordered the Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Stormtrooper 4-Pack [Amazon Exclusive] back in September you might have it as early as tomorrow (Sunday). It appears Amazon is not currently taking more orders for this set, but you can click here to check availability in case it comes back. It was originally $79.99 when pre-orders went up September 4.
Amazon listed two (so far) new exclusive sets on 9/3. They are:
Star Wars The Force Awakens 3.75-Inch Figure Troop Builder 6-Pack - actually has 7 figures. Captain Phasma is joined by uniquely armored Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers. The fact that it is not actually a six pack once again robs me of Black Flag jokes.
Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Stormtrooper 4-Pack - This is the rumored "evolution" set. Each figure is unique - Stormtrooper has dirty deco, Episode 7 Stormtrooper has a unique pauldron, the Episode III Clone Trooper debuts in this set, and the AOTC yellow Clone Captain is new.
