Keep an eye on your preorders for the Ahsoka Tano Black Series Force FX Elite Lightsaber. They have started to arrive in Hasbro’s California distribution center and should be en route to retailers soon. Originally this was estimated as a July 2021 release.
You can still order it now from our sponsors Entertainment Earth and DorksideToys.
Today was a huge day for many collectors in search of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures at Target. We received and read dozens of reports of them being found up and down the coasts and through the midwest. Don’t pay scalper prices. Don’t believe stores that say they are discontinued or are not getting them. Network with your fellow collectors in order to help each other to complete your set.
Also, we’d like to thank those who sent kind words via social media and emails on how our reporting and information (particularly the DPCIs and availablility) helped you on your hunt for these figures.
One of the first acquisitions of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures has happened via Instagram follower EnchantedJedi. He was able to score Clone Pilot Hawk from a Target in Roswell, New Mexico. If you have collector friends in the area, now’s the time.
Sponsor DorksideToys is having a BIG SALE on select Black Series, Vintage Collection, Mission Fleet and more! Check out the selection at DorksideToys.com

Other Star Wars items include clothing and POP!s.
*YMMY whether your store sets before or after that planned date.
