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
Vote for the next character(s) to be made for the 6” Black Series for the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back at the fan sites listed above. Details/procedures for voting can be found at their respective sites.
Target stores from coast to coast have been stock Black Series wave 20. If you haven’t hit your stores in a while, it’s a good time to check.
The image above was sent to us by amc0swish from North Olmsted, OH. Other reports we’ve read and received include locations in CA, GA, OR, SC, TN, IL, AZ, WI.
K & C Collectibles has received New: Star Wars Insiders, Topps Cards, Bandai Shadow Trooper, Hallmark Ornaments, Two Gentle Giant Boba Fett statues and TIE Fighter vehicle. Click the NEW PRODUCTS link under the Categories Section for a complete list of recently added items.
Amazon currently has the new Black Series Hyperreal Darth Vader listed at $49.99. And before the haters start to chime in that this is already a failure, you’ll note that this isn’t a sale – it’s the regular listing price with no discounts/savings. You can also see why our exclusive report on this figure was originally listed at this price, then revised to reflect Hasbro’s MSRP of $79.99. We’re not sure what’s going on here but if you’re at all interested in this, I suggest ordering it now to lock in the preorder price guarantee.
UPDATE: Price changed to $79.99
Target is now taking preorders for their exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) figure. This listing officially confirms our DPCI reveal from a few weeks ago as well.
Update: Preorders sold out
Hasbro will soon be offering a Annual Black Series Subscription Service as part of their Hasbro Pulse Premium membership. More details soon.
Brickseek has updated with an image for the Black Series Hyperreal Darth Vader that we exclusively revealed last week. As you can see, it confirms the 8″ scale. Watch for more details this weekend at Toy Fair (if not sooner).
