I hope you're asking this question after buying ... because they'll be gone before you have your answer

there's plenty at the moment and i basically have my finger over the add-to-cart button. so they're legit?

I cannot answer that question, honestly. There was talk here about people having access to "unofficial channels" to get their wares. OTOH, some retailers have been putting stuff out before the official release date in the past so it is possible that these have been scooped up somewhere at a Target or TRU or WM somewhere. Though in that case I would have expected to see the entire set listed, not just the minifig.

It sounds like they were leaked somehow(maybe from a factory).  I don't think they would risk their reputation on knockoffs.  Maybe there is some minor imperfection.  I would prefer to wait for sealed polybag during promotion.

 

Thank you, everyone. i grabbed a couple along with some other minifigs. i'll see how they look and will post if something isn't right. i'm really after the sealed poly's and am hoping they won't be difficult to get should they just be released with the video game of TFA.

Like silver centurion?

My local GSs haven't heard for sure, but it's the speculation around here.
