While a number of sites and retailers have speculated over the wave contents of the next Black Series Wave, US retailer Dorkside Toys have pretty much confirmed what we expected in that Wave 10 / Rogue One Wave 3 will include just two new figures - and then a full repack of figures that were part of the first two waves.
While the arrival of Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus are welcome, the other repacks are at risk of shelf warming.
It is possible that now the film has debuted in cinema's that the popularity of figures like Krennic, Jyn Erso and Cassian may now climb - it seems unlikely that these will clear at the same rate as the two new characters - potentially creating the type of on shelf disparity we saw with the 4th Wave at the start of 2016 - where Hux and Asty were soon sold out and Snowtroopers and Tie Fighter Pilots filled the shelves.
The only re-release that I don't expect to sit around is the Deathtrooper as he will army build nicely.
I suspect Wave 10 isn't going to hit retail in a great deal of depth, so don't miss out and place your pre-orders as they go live over the next couple of weeks - with the stock itself due as soon as January 2017.
Now this wave is pretty much confirmed, our Phase 3 2017 page has started to take shape and can be found in our Black Series archive
