Armed with my codes from yesterday, I visited my local Target terminal and scanned them and sure enough both “Vermont” and “Eastwood” are in their database. Also of note, these appear to not be either Black Series or Vintage Collection items. The saga continues….
Update 2: An anonymous tip from Instagram has sent word that these are called Celebrate the Saga: Sith and Celebrate the Saga: Jedi respectively. These sound like some sort of figure multipack like in years past.

This morning while securing may new wave of Black Series figures at Target I found a case of new Galaxy’s Edge Roleplay Masks on a cart going back to the stock room.

Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
