Thank you for this!

I was able to pre-order this in store at EB Games in Ontario this morning using that SKU.

It required $5 down despite most of their stuff under $80 not requiring anything down anymore. It did come up at $44.99 and is listed as the Gamorrean Guard in their system. The estimated date in the system was June 2018.

They were unable to find any mention of the Chewbacca figure under that name or Hercules.

Talked to the good EB here in Calgary (in person) and they cannot preorder it at all. Even with the number. I am so confused...

I tried pre-ordering it too and they told me it doesn't exist in their "pre-sell" system. Although the SKU did return back the figure details and price.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Ugh that sucks, sorry you haven't had luck. Here is a picture so you know I'm not making it up.



This seems to have been an issue with Wolfe too. In that case one store here could take pre-orders while the other could not. So it's really a mess.

44.99. That is beyond insane.

It's $29.99 in the USA which works out to $39 Canadian. So $44.99 isn't that far off? $5 more than exchange is par for the course. Plus if you have a Platinum or Onyx card then the 10-15% off brings it even closer to exchange parity.

My EB Games did mention this too when I was there yesterday. Makes sense now.

Glad some people are having some luck!

My store said the date was June 1st so there is definitely some discrepancies between stores.
