TBS Rumor Report: Black Series Rushmore Code Name Found

I came across a new code name this week at Target and Walmart for a Black Series item designated “Rushmore“. It’s price is higher than the current MSRP for mainline ($24.99) and deluxe ($33.99) figures at $44.99 so I speculate that this could be for the upcoming Luke Skywalker and Grogu Build Up Pack that was pipelined at the Hasbro Fanstream in February. Of it could be something else entirely. We will update once more is known.
