Originally rumored back in June, Instagram follower @anerdydad has shared the first look at the 6″ Black Series Electrostaff Purge Trooper that is exclusive to Gamestop (US) and EBGames (Canada).
I also found two listings on Amazon for Hasbro products with code names “Vermont” and “Eastwood”. No telling yet what these are other than they cost $30 each and are slated for release on October 1. Also no word on exclusivity.
Direct links are not provided in case it triggers their removal (like TVC Fives and Hondo).
It appears that the 3.75″ Retro Collection will continue on next year as I found listings for 7 codenamed figures via the Walmart app. tonight. As with everything else that’s coded, there is no way this tell what source they are from. Logic dictates that they would be from Return of the Jedi since that would be the next film in succession. Are they though???
Yakface Instagram follower Jacob P. sent this pic from his store in Arkansas showing 2 more lightsabers from Galaxy’s Edge. Like the Lightsaber Workshop set we reported a couple weeks ago, these too look to be Bladebuilders compatible but also include 2 Kyber Crystals with each to customize your saber. Choose from Sith Warrior or Jedi Knight. Price is $12.99 each – DPCI is 087-16-1742
This morning while securing may new wave of Black Series figures at Target I found a case of new Galaxy’s Edge Roleplay Masks on a cart going back to the stock room. Coincidenatally, my brother-in-law found them on the pegs and are repacks of the First Order Stormtrooper and Mandalorian masks. Price is $9.99 and the street date is Aug. 30.
Yakface reader vikingrobot reports that he has received his BB-BOO20 figure from My Disney Shop, so if you placed an order you may be receiving yours soon. Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Additional scanning through shipping info also shows that the TVC Carbon-Freezing Chamber has arrived in warehouses in California. It is unknown if it will be released earlier than the originally proposed October 2020 date.
Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
Note: This is not the mystery Clone Trooper from the next wave of Black Series.
Poking around a bit with the Walmart app has turned up results for a new TVC Playset. Could this be something revealed in 4 days?
Yakface reader Ray M. reports finding the upcoming Target Exclusive DJ R-3X at his local store in north Houston. DPCI: 087-16-2284. Official release date is Aug. 30.
