Star Wars Day 2016: Guide for Boba Fett Fans
Star Wars Day (May 4) has an unusually high amount of Boba Fett collectible releases this year, even though he’s not in any of the recent films. We’ve put together a to-the-point guide to help you on your quest for any or all five bounties.
Please feel free to bookmark this page as we’ll be updating it frequently, especially at 12:01am PST on May 4th with direct links to Disney’s mobile and desktop sites (which sadly use differently URLs).
UPDATE: In the first hour of inventory coming online, we’ve had 1) an item sell out and 2) the website’s database/processing functionality crash. Thee you have it, Boba Fett fans.
Elite Series Boba Fett Prototype Armor
While this 6.5″ Boba Fett figure was released early in Milan, Italy and then throughout Europe, May 4th is the official store and online release for the U.S. and Canada. At 12:01am Pacific Standard Time, he should be online at DisneyStore.com. In the past, the Fett figures have sold out within 6 hours and never re-stocked, so the same could happen again.
In case you’re curious, the barcode number for this figure should be 461010232407. The online number may be 6101047620318.
