Save the date as Walmart Collector Con launches March 19 at 10am ET. As far as releases go, we know that we’re getting the TVC Obi-Wan & Airborne Trooper 2pk. Black Series will have the mini Mandalorian and Stormtrooper Helmets.
Although we have a few weeks to go before the official release date (March 22), sidekick displays for the First Edition Black Series* figures for The Mandalorian and Grogu have started to pop up at Target. In case you missed the news (or already forgotten about these) the first wave of First Editions include:
01 The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe) – $33.99
02 Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver – $27.99
03 Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver – $27.99
04 Colonel Ward – $27.99
05 Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper – $27.99
At the time these were found, they were not street dated but that may have changed. In the U.S. market, these exclusive First Editions will only be available in physical Target and Walmart stores.
*Note: there is nothing unique about these released other than the packaging when compared to their mainline, non-exclusive, counterparts.

GameStop now has their exclusive Jazwares RC-1138 (Boss) Deluxe Helmet available in-stock ($79.99).

Voting begins on Wednesday, March 4 at 12:01am ET

For some inexplicable dumbass reasoning, Target has now prevented the sales of this now old wave of Vintage Collection figures and has applied a street date for them for March 22. This also happens to be the street date for the new Mandalorian and Grogu products which are starting to his shelves as well. It’s amazing how dysfunctional basic retail sales (especially Target) are when they don’t distinguish old UPCs from new ones and tie to them to one specific DPCI, blocking them all from sales. Idiots.
Droid Factory QT-KT has hit Disney Parks and eBay. Look for this to be officially released online next Friday at DisneyStore.com Thanks to @darthchuckmc for the alert
The release date for the Target exclusive TBS Remnant Stormtrooper from TM&G has moved up one week from March 29 to March 22.
Preorder are now open for Premium Members for the Black Series Clones of the Republic set featuring Plo Koon and Clone Commander Wolffe. Preorders open for the general public at 2pm ET (quantity permitting).
Update: Sold out (1:30 pm ET)
Amazon has lowered the price on the recently announced Vintage Collection Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper from The Mandalorian and Grogu to $16.99 (reg. $19.99).
Based upon some additional digging, I think I’ve been able to ascertain that there will not only be two Black Series waves dedicated to The Mandalorian and Grogu but BOTH waves will feature First Edition (white box) packaging. Although the mainline figures included in wave 2 are unknown, I believe that Zeb Orrelios (Deluxe), Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper and Embo will be part of it and have First Edition counterparts exclusive to Target and Walmart in the U.S. The other two figures in the wave are still anyone’s guess.
Until then, we will continue researching and speculating. This is the way.
