A video captured by @_figgie_smalls at FanExpo Canada looks to have caught an unannounced Black Series set on display. The pack, code named “Giant”, includes a STAP w/Mercenary Guard Droid variant as well a(nother) Mandalorian with removable helmet from his battle on Nal Hutta. This is likely an Amazon exclusive and retails for $84.99 U.S.. More details to come later…

Hasbro Pulse is prepping shipments of their (overpriced) exclusive TBS Embo & Keibu set. Originally scheduled for shipment on Oct 1, it’s now shipping on Aug 31.
Preorders are now open for Premium Members for the Black Series Clones of the Republic set featuring Ahsoka Tano & ARC Trooper Jesse. Preorders open for the general public at 2pm ET (quantity permitting).
In case you haven’t had your fill of TVC X-wings, it looks like more shipments of the TVC Antoc Merrick X-wing with Merrick (from 2021) are arriving in the U.S.. No word how these will be offered as this was previously a Target exclusive, so I imagine it will get new life as a fan channel release.
