Rumor Report: 6″ TBS Darth Nilihus Gaming GreatS Figure Coming Soon?
The 6″ Black Series “Gaming Greats” subline of figures may have a few more surprises left. According to @t0ytime on Instagram, EBGames in Canada is currently taking preorders for a Darth Nihilus figure from KOTORII. GameStop is the likely distributor of this figure in the U.S.
Rumor Report: 5 New TVC Figure Listings Found Via Walmart app
Yesterday, I teased the reveal of a bit of forthcoming Vintage Collection (TVC) news and now that I’ve some time, here it is. Five new TVC listings have turned up in Walmart’s system* . Interestingly, a new code naming theme has been introduced with this wave with the names of oceans. “Atlantic”, “Pacific”, “Indian”, and “Arctic”. The fifth name looks familiar as the “Omega” name (from The Mandalorian) has turned up in our prior Black Series rumor report. It’s a pretty safe bet that they are the same character, the question is, who is it?
*Note: these are NOT Walmart exclusives.
Rumor Report: Convention Exclusive Clone Trooper Set
Fellow product sleuther, JTPrime has found evidence of an upcoming exclusive Hasbro Clone Trooper pack currently en route to the U.S. Like previous convention exclusives*, they are initially available at shows like SDCC but also available through Hasbro Pulse. It is unclear what scale this is, but I’d bet on this being a Black Series item.
As for Vintage (TVC) product news, stay tuned.
*Obviously, there are no conventions planned in the short term so these will likely go directly to online sales.

Rumor Report: Lots of Black Series Preorders To Launch Tomorrow
Word is that Hasbro will be officially announcing/launching several new preorders tomorrow for the Black Series line and, if my count is accurate, it could be more than a dozen products. Hasbro Pulse did mention a few weeks ago via a comment on Instagram that the wave with The Mandalorian in Beskar Armor would be available for order on May 28. One could assume that the entire wave will be available (and then some).
The question is, will there be any major surprises? I can think of one and it’s long overdue.
