Walmart Collector Con kicks off today at 10am ET* with the preorder launch for the exclusive Black Series Clone Commander Jesse** from The Clone Wars.
*We all know how preorders can go with Walmart so it may launch before or after its scheduled time.
**We do not receive any commission/affiliate sales on any products sold through Walmart.com
Update: Walmart’s website continues to have issues with Jesse (and other exclusives). Various website tests show that the checkout/cart fails depending on your shipping location. Get it together Walmart.
Hasbro pulled from their existing parts bin in order to create two new figures for the 3.75” Vintage Collection Tusken Warrior and 6” Black Series Tusken Chieftain. TVC Rey (Jakku) serves as a partial base for the Tusken Warrior (arms & torso) and the TBS Tusken Raider upcycles the arms and legs for the Chieftain. This form of “smart reuse” coupled with many new components refresh them for an all new look.
We’ve added a few more Black Series code names recently to our Master List. It is unknown who these characters but “SPRINT” and “MARATHON” are likely Target exclusives. We will update when we learn more about these and the other codes.
I came across a new code name this week at Target and Walmart for a Black Series item designated “Rushmore“. It’s price is higher than the current MSRP for mainline ($24.99) and deluxe ($33.99) figures at $44.99 so I speculate that this could be for the upcoming Luke Skywalker and Grogu Build Up Pack that was pipelined at the Hasbro Fanstream in February. Of it could be something else entirely. We will update once more is known.
Hasbro announced this gem of an Amazon exclusive today: The Black Series Carbonized NED-B and Purge Trooper set ($75). Available for preorder today at 1pm ET.
This is the only time I’ll mention it today because it is awful.
The above pic was taken in Arnold, MO. But chances are your Target has these too.
Target is running a hefty sale through March 4 on most Black Series figures. If you’ve been waiting for markdowns on the items included in the sale, now might be the time to grab them before they get gobbled up by clearance buyers later.
