It appears there is another “Convention Exclusive” preparing to make landfall soon. JTPrime has posted in the ToyArk forums, the discovery of an item named “E76520000 SW CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE HEROS ENDOR 3 Pcs”. (3 pcs is probably the case pack, not the number of figures in the set.) No word yet whether it is Black Series or TVC, but we should find out soon enough.
A quick report for today as we can fill in one of those blank Black Series Exclusive listings on our Master List. Info has been found for an upcoming 6″ Captain Cardinal figure. No word on availability but it should be soon as it is shipping to the US now. Stay tuned for info on two other 6″ Black Series exclusive figures for Galaxy’s Edge. A little hint: they are repacks.
Today we can fill in a couple mystery placeholders in our Master List of rumored figures as new listinsg for 4 new 6″ Black Series figure have been uncovered thanks to the Walmart app: Ahsoka (S7), Ahsoka Loyalist Trooper, Nite Owl Mandalorian and the Mauldolor Trooper. Thanks again to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
Entertainment Earth is offering a 25% off sale this week through June 21 to commemorate Father’s Day on select Hasbro Star Wars items. Use offer code STARWARSDAD at checkout.
Another curious product has been uncovered via the Walmart app. A listing shows a 6″ Black Series Holiday Trooper of some sort and it also has a designation of “5”. Does this mean more than one??? Time will tell I guess, no word as to what type of trooper it may be or even if “Holiday” is another code name.
Some additional digging has potentially revealed a significant detail on the rumored Mandalorian Build-Up Pack we shared last week. According to Walmart’s system, this is a VINTAGE COLLECTION set, not a Black Series item — unless there are 2 separate items with the same name, that Australian distributor was wrong, or Walmart’s system is wrong. More info to come as we learn more.
Another bit of TVC news today. Three more new TVC figure listings have turned up in the Walmart system, this time, coded with gem names: “Sapphire”, “Emerald” and “Diamond”. No indication as to whom they might represent. The pricing is a bit weird for these but it may just be preliminary for the early listing. Again , no indication on availability or exclusivity.
Once again, thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
UPDATE: I have also added “VIN RUBY” to the list.
Thanks to some intel from WalmartGhost, it looks like there will be an the Incinerator TrooperTVC figure from The Mandalorian coming in the near future. No word on availability or exclusivity as of yet.
