Instagram follower maur00liveira send a report that his local GameStop in Manhattan, NY (34th & 6 Ave) has about 20 6″ Black Series Captain Rex figures. Good luck if you’re on the hunt.
The new 6″ Black Series 4-LOM has a very cool feature. According to @plastichunter22 on Instagram, the head is cast is a translucent green plastic and if you shine a light behind it, the eyes glow green!
Thanks to KyloCollector for the heads-up.
Apparently Toys”R”Us is going out with a bang as more “Solo” merchandise has started hitting shelves, this time in the form of 6″ Black Series wave 16. This video shot by Roger A. on Instagram shows several pegs worth of the new Han Solo and Lando Calrissian at a store in El Paso, Texas.
Even Disney Parks has gotten in on the breaking the street date game as shown in a recent comment here. The above 6″ figures from Wave 16 were found at the Star Wars Galactic Outpost in Disney World.
Based on several posts via Facebook, Instagram and eBay, it appears that our intel was correct in that collectors can expect to be able to acquire both waves 16 and 17 of the 6″ Black Series assortment for the Solo: A Star Wars Story launch in April. Reports also confirm the case breakdown that we reported as well.
Like previous merchandise launches (The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi), multiple waves of 6″ Black Series may make it into the hands of collectors via retail (brick and mortar and online) for the launch of Solo: A Star Wars Story products in April. Wave 16 has already started showing up in advance of the street date and Wave 17 may be hot on its heels.
As they get closer to the launch of Solo: A Star Wars Story products in a couple week, Target will be placing the 6″ Black Series assortment on sale for $9.99 each and it will run until the end of the month.
Thanks to TargetGod for the heads-up.
It looks like the long wait for the Walmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Throne Room) may be about to end. Revised store planograms now show a shelf placement for this elusive set. It would makes sense that a bulk of these were held back for the home video release of The Last Jedi. We’ll will surely let you know if these start turning up. Until then, you can track the nationwide supply via Brickseek with SKU 287877571.
