Keep an eye on GameStop as there may be a new 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure popping up in the next few days (if not today). Back when the Cal Kestis was announced, we noticed that on the packaging it appeared to tease some version of the previous Imperial Jumptrooper. This new/repaint figure should be 01 in the line of Gaming Greats figures for 2021, with Cal Kestis being number 02.
We will make a separate post when the preorders open.
Tonight I received 3 new code names from a source for upcoming figures for the Vintage Collection designated as “Rectangle”, “Square” and “Triangle”. As you may recall from early in February, we we able to determine that the 3 new Walmart exclusive figure for Paploo, Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver also had shape-themed names (“Oval”, “Octagon”, “Circle”). Could these new three also be Walmart exclusives AND be part of the “Finish the 96” campaign? Time will tell, but they are currently not in Walmart’s system. We’ll update as we learn more info.
Yesterday as part of the Fan Celebration event, Hasbro revealed the official images for the upcoming TVC figures for IG-11 from The Mandalorian and Lando Calrissian from The Empire Strikes Back and both look fantastic! Look for these figures later this year with two figures from Return of the Jedi.
I came across info for 3 new Mission Fleet set via the Walmart app the other day and it looks like there are two new sets for The Mandalorian and one for The Bad Batch. Info has been added to our Master List for reference. These a;so join the Mission Fleet Razor Crest that I reported on a couple weeks ago.
It looks like we’re getting another Star Wars Build Up Pack of sorts judging by these new “STAPLER” code name listings on Target, Amazon and Walmart. Judging by the pricepoint (about $15), this may be a Mission Fleet item. No official word yet, but it does have a August 1 release date. We will update when we learn more.
Hasbro announced today as part of their Investors Event that Hasbro Pulse will be expanding to the U.K. and other markets (TBA).
