Our spy was also privy to discussions about Hasbro really wanting to bring back figure display stands/bases back into the 3.75″ product line up. These too are being shopped as exclusives but no official retail partner has signed on yet. More to come…
We’ve received an intelligence report from a trusted source that there are plans for an exclusive 6″ Black Series Trash Compactor scene in the works. Our rebel spy was able to see a newly sculpted head for the existing 6″ Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise. It is unknown at this time if it would include multiple figures (Han, Chewie, Leia, and Luke) or if it would be something like the recent Kmart Exclusive Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) as the concept is still looking for an official retail partner. More to come….
Walmart.com will be offering their exclusive 6″ Black Series Battlefront Imperial Shock Trooper for order soon. Watch for the link via social media in a few days.
UPDATE: New details revealed
With the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ release nearing, Walmart is starting the celebration a little early by hosting ‘Epic Weekend’ events on Nov. 13-15 at more than 3000 stores across the country.
Click on through for the details including info for the 6″ Black Series Battlefront Imperial Shock Trooper.
But for collecting it may be easier to list the items that don’t have Star Wars tie-ins instead of those that do. Soup, bottled water, apples, coffee creamer, El Paso Tacos! On this week’s show the hosts sift through the plethora of items and tell you which are the cool ones to hunt for.
K & C Collectibles has added New Force Awakens 3.75″ Action Figures, 2-Pack 6 inch, Hot Wheels, Kotobukiya Snowtrooper ArtFX 2-pack, Hallmark Christmas Ornaments, Comic Collector Packs and Funko Pop. Click the NEW PRODUCT link for a complete list of recently added items.

We’re receiving several reports (like the one above) that shipping notifications are been sent out for the Kmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) figure.
Be sure to keep an eye on their website as well as it has gone up again (intermittently) today for preorder.
Our friends at The Astromech Collection share this image via Facebook of the upcoming Entertainment Earth exclusive Black Series Imperial Forces 4-pack found at a store in Hong Kong.
Walgreens has started setting Star Wars focus end caps at at many of their stores. Chris L. sends in the above image from his store in Woodridge, IL. I ran into a similar display at a Spencer, IA location as well.
