Now that we’ve got the base B1 Battle Droid for the 6″ Black Series, I thought I’d whip up a concept for a potential exclusive (or series of exclusives). As you know, there are a plethora of decos available for the B1 so I whipped up what I think would be a great 4pk some online retailer could offer* which could include OOM-9, Security, Battle Damage Droid and Geonosis Arena variants.
*This is not a hint or veiled tease of an unannounced product.
A new chapter in The Enloe Trials has just been posted in the forums. Check it out and I would love to read some feedback after the jump!
As reported last week, the latest 6″ wave of TBS figures is hitting Target stores. In a rare stroke of good luck, I stumbled upon them in the St. Louis area as well this morning. Share your store reports here or in the forums after the jump!
Personal Note: The Mimban Han Solo is really one of the best looking figures I’ve seen Hasbro make in any scale – fingers crossed that it’s not too long before we see a TVC counterpart of such quality that is readily available to the market…
You can now start building your droid army as Amazon currently has the 6″ Black Series Battle Droid in stock for $19.99.
Update: Out of stock for the retail price
Yakface Forum member Chuckles has been on a roll lately with several custom figures to help populate Hasbro’s Sail Barge. Check out his excellent work after the jump!
.@Hasbro Not a good start to #HasbroPulse Very poor packaging, damaged items, and on top of it the wrong items shipped. Should have been 3 Yak, 2 Boushh, 1 Scarif, 1 Klaatu. Got 4 Scarif, 3 Klaatu. pic.twitter.com/q6iVkgghJz

Looks like Hasbro Pulse’s first orders are arriving to collectors with mixed results. Twitter follower ScoobyDew79 received his order with damaged contents and wrong items shipped. Hopefully others have a better experience, leave a comment with yours.
