Rumor Report: Deluxe (D4) 6″ TBS Dagobah Luke with Yoda Now in Target’s System
Armed with a dozen codes, I swung by my local Target and scanned a few using the convenient price scanners in the aisle. I got a hit on the bar code for the rumored Deluxe (D4) 6″ Black Series Dagobah Luke with Yoda set.

No official word (or otherwise) on the release date for this set but the price in the U.S. is listed at $44.99. The DPCI has been added to our expanding Master UPC/DPCI/SKU List for quick reference.
