StarWars.com and Hasbro stated yesterday that the Walmart Exclusive Black Series Purge Trooper (Phase II Armor) and 1-JAC will be available for preorder today at 1pm ET. We all know how loosey-goosey Walmart.com can be with their punctuality when it comes to preorder launches. We will make our best effort to monitor the links we have and update our Linktree as soon as they are live.
Update: After 24 hours, still no movement from Walmart on these two.
Update 2: StarWars.com has updated and now states that the two figures will go up for preorder on Thursday, July 21 at 10am ET/7am PT
For Obi-Wan Wednesdays this week, it looks like we might finally get that Darth Vader (The Dark Times) from Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Vintage Collection (which has already started hitting New Zealand). Also, there may be preorders for 3 Black Series figures – 2 mainline and 1 deluxe.
Look for the official announcement(s) on Wednesday with preorders launching at 1pm ET on Thursday.
After the huge list of 19 TVC codes we posted over the weekend, we’ve added a gigantic list of 36 Black Series product to our Master List that should cover a majority of 2023, if not beyond. Of the 36 listings we added, three of them are Deluxe releases, 2 are ForceFX Elite Lightsabers and one is a new helmet. It is unknown how many (if any) of the remaining 30 are exclusives but one could surmise that over a dozen of them are for the 40th Anniversary Return of the Jedi
