For those chasing, here are some handy scan cards that you can use to search for the exclusive First Edition Black Series at Target and Walmart (hitting Walmart now). Simply scan the unique barcode on the bottom right of each image at a kiosk or handheld device. (When scanned products will come up with their code names).

@5017set is back with more 2027 rumors – this time for the Vintage Collection. It’s not too big a leap that we’d see some reissues of main characters like Vader and Stormtroopers for the 50th anniversary of the franchise, but we may also see a release of “the man” himself to fill a special spot in our collections. (And there’s also Space Gosling from Starfighter).

About a year and a half ago, I posted this editorial with some of my wishes and suggestions for The Black Series. A half dozen have been Released since then, and of those Choices, 3 more are about to join the Pack. Take a peek at the article and try to guess which ones they are or share who you’d want from those suggestions.
Walmart has opened preorders for their exclusive Vintage Collection Anakin Skywalker (VC412) and Commander Cody (VC413) 2pk from Revenge of the Sith.
UPDATE: price has been corrected and is now $39.97
Some interesting Black Series rumors have surfaced according to @5017set on X. According to him we may be getting Spider-Legs Maul, Agen Kolar, Captain Vaughn, Tessek, Commander Cody (Imperial) and R4-P17 (Obi-Wan’s Astromech). There’s also word of at least 4 figures from the next film, Star Wars Starfighter. It will be interesting to see how and when this plays out.
UPDATE: a few more names were dropped including the Galactic Marine, Anakin Skywalker (AOTC), Queen Amidala (TPM) and Savage Opress (Battle Damaged?).
Recent shipping info shows that there is an as-of-yet unannounced Black Series 2pk arriving in the U.S., and if my info is correct, this set contains two characters from the Legends/EU era. With it now arriving, I’d think an announcement is right around the corner — probably SDCC.

Based off of the link I have, and had confirmed in store, the pricing is the same as the Obi-Wan/Airborne set at $39.97. Crisis averted. Pitch forks back to the woodshed.
