Star Wars The Black Series Rebel Trooper and Stormtrooper 2-pack

The Acolyte The Black Series Darth Teeth Helmet was the big Star Wars release from Hasbro this week, but they also snuck in The Black Series Rebel Trooper and Stormtrooper 2-pack, which makes troop building for the Rebels and the Empire super convenient. Inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope, the Rebel trooper figure comes with a helmet, data disk, and blaster accessory. The Stormtrooper includes a blaster.
Pre-orders for the Star Wars The Black Series Rebel Trooper and Stormtrooper are available here at Entertainment Earth (free U.S. shipping on orders $79+) and here on Amazon priced at $44.99, which isn’t too bad for a multipack. It will arrive on your doorstep on September 1st. This is a unique versus set for Hasbro’s Black Series, so grab one – or ten – while you can.
Speaking of unique Star Wars products, LEGO is bringing some of the Star Wars mashup designs featured in the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy four-part animated series into the real world. How about a Dark Side version of the Millennium Falcon or a mashup between a Tie Fighter and an X-Wing? Darth Jar Jar perhaps? With these two new LEGO sets, you can make these crazy concepts a reality. Details about each of the sets can be found below, and keep in mind that the Tribute to Jules Verne’s Books LEGO set will come free with purchases of $150 or more through June 30th.
