Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.

Upcoming Black Series Figures Arriving In Canada Warehouses
Shipments for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus Gaming Greats figure have started arriving in warehouses in Canada for release next month as well as cases of the upcoming Black Series “Bobby” (IG-11) figure for the yet-to-be-announced Credit Collection.

Walgreens 6″ TBS Clone Trooper Lieutenant Sold Out/Removed Online
You may have missed our social media notifications via Instagram, Twitter and Patreon early this morning (especially those on the West Coast) you may have also missed the online release of the Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It was available for a couple of hours but it started disappearing from carts and then the page was removed from Walgreens.com altogether. Luckily there have been a a lot of retail sightings as well so hopefully this won’t prove to be as difficult as their last Black Series release.

Rumor Report Update: 6″ TBS Mandalorian Build Up Pack Info From Target
Back in June, there was word that a deluxe “build up” pack was headed to the Black Series line for The Mandalorian. Later that month, additional info came to light which was thought to clarify that listing as being for the Vintage Collection. I received a new UPC over the weekend to research and found this morning that it is listed at Target as “STAR WARS MANDO BUILD UP PACK” and confirms the original report of it being for The Black Series. The price on this set is $34.99 and the DPCI is shown above in the image. So, it appears that we are in fact getting TWO Mandalorian build up packs – one for TBS and one for TVC.
Obviously, no official word on availability, but since it’s not showing in various other systems in the U.S., it may be a Target Exclusive.
