JediInsider is reporting a rumor of a Deluxe Black Series Dark Trooper from The Mandalorian is coming (finally) sometime in 2022. Deluxe of course means a higher price point than the standard Black Series figure so that should put this figure in the $31-$35 dollar range.
No word as of yet for a Dark Trooper for the Vintage Collection.
Hasbro/Hasbro Pulse has taken to social media to re-confirm the pending Haslab Black Series Rancor campaign. Expect it to launch around Hasbro Pulse Con. The HasbroPulse has a added a preview page to their site.

Another round of price increases are hitting online retailers as the cost of materials and skyrocketing shipping/transportation costs from China affect the market. For example the Black Series line recently increased about $1.50 per standard (non-exclusive) figure, and now another increase of $2.00 is planned pushing MSRPs to near $25. Exclusives will approach $30 and Deluxe figures around $40. Obviously, these increases won’t be limited to Black Series, Star Wars or even Hasbro.
