Following the success of last years’ Force Friday (which saw the first release of merchandise from Star Wars: The Force Awakens), a second Force Friday is planned for this year as the first opportunity for fans to buy merchandise from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. However, while Force Friday is scheduled for September 30th, a new rumour suggests that some merchandise could be available beforehand.
A report from Jedi Temple Archives says the following:
“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)”
Their report also indicates that eight 6-inch figures for Rogue One are currently planned in total, with most of them expected to be available on September 30th.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled for release on December 16th, 2016.
Thoughts on this rumour? Are you excited for Force Friday 2016?
