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.

Hasbro Pulse is also starting process preorders for the exclusive TVC Figrin D’an and The Modal Nodes set.
If you need to get your finances in order, now’s the time.
It appears that GameStop has bumped the price of the mainline figures (PFP wave and later) and the ROTJ40 figures to $26.99 each. With prices of exclusives already at $28.99, we’ll be offered basic figure repaints for $30+ before the year is over — if they can move the glut of peg warming Gaming Greats that is.
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
