Long rumored to be joining Lando Calrissian “Antarctica”, IG-11 “Huron” and Teebo “Ontario”, Amazon AU has updated the listing for “Erie” as well confirming The Emperor coming to the Vintage Collection. The pages and listings are no longer visible publicly but remain visible to those who added them to a list for future purchase when available.
According to a few Amazon AU listings, it looks like we can expect the release of a few of the announced “pipeline” Black Series figures on or around November 1, 2021. Figures include Boba Fett (Tython), Migs Mayfeld (Morak) and the Stormtrooper (Jedha Patrol).

Those who preordered the exclusive TVC Paploo and AT-ST Driver figures from Walmart can start checking their statuses as orders have begun processing and shipping notifications are hitting inboxes.
Update: Leia (Endor) is shipping also.
Collectors have been anxiously awaiting some sort of update on the official release/preorder of the Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Battalion Clone Trooper announced last week. So here’s a “non-update” update: as of today, Walgreens still doesn’t have this in their system – neither online nor in-store.
If we use the last Walgreens exclusive as a guide, the 6″ Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant never went up for preorder either. It was leaked on August 18, 2020, officially announced on August 21, and then went online for purchase (not preorder) a month later on September 18. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened for the new 212th Clone Trooper.
The next wave of 6″ Black Series has started to hit retail. Reddit user JediMindTricks75 reports finding them at Walmart in Kenosha, WI today.
