You can check out this image via our Instagram page protected by a couple of leading images. Thanks to dtinaglia for posting the image.

These will also be available through ToysRUs in Canada.
Recent shipping data shows that the recently announced TVC Gaming Greats figures for the Scout Trooper (“Magnolia/Rollerball”), Shadow Stormtrooper (‘Mayflower/Marker”) and Heavy Battle Droid (“Marigold/Fountain”) have already entered the U.S. from Canada – well ahead of their August/September release date. It is unknown if they’ll be held back until then or ship to customers early.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
The GameStop exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Rocket Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Battlefront II has arrived at GameStop’s distribution center in Texas. Expected ship date is May 1 for those who preordered.
Following up on some previous reports here and here, I received info that the 4 rumored Target Exclusive Black Series figures “SUN”, “SNOW”, “RAIN” and “WIND” are on the way to Target distribution centers and have an expected arrival date in stores on or about May 19. (Street date TBD). It’s a good bet that these will be revealed as part of the May the 4th festivities planned – unless they leak prior to then. It is unknown which figures they all are except for one which I was told is some version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assist.
