Some collectors have started to receive email notifications from Target requesting payment source updates for their Black Series Clone 2pk preorders. When you select a new, or even current payment source, you are met with an approval to charge the new, corrected price ($44.99 each) – not the original price ($24.99 each). I was also going to be charged shipping despite being over the $35 threshold. I suggest if you received the email, contact Target customer service directly to try to get your order sorted out. Act quickly as the order will auto-cancel if not addressed by the date in your email.
Let us know if you have success in having Target honor your original preorder price.
While hunting around for more 2024 information today I came across a curious listing that seemed to specify that Count Dooku may be making a return to the Black Series line as a possible fan channel exclusive. Dooku was a stellar figure when it was first released, featuring a near perfect likeness to the late Sir Christopher Lee. If accurate, could we see more prequel figures from the past reissued in the mural packaging? Would you like to see such a thing even happen?
It was only a matter of time but Target finally updated the error price ($24.99) of the exclusive Black Series Lieutenant/332nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper 2pk to the proper pricepoint ($44.99). Existing preorders should retain their lower price.
Without fail, when I post a rumor report regarding one scale or the other, the comments (on social media) turn into an “us versus them” situation in terms of what scale is more heavily favored by Hasbro. Interestingly, I took a look at my rumor list of TVC and TBS code names for 2024 products and you’d probably be (pleasantly?) surprised to hear that I’ve been able to find approximately 30 code names for EACH line. Granted, that’s only what I’ve personally been able to find info for, but as it stands, that’s pretty f’ing balanced.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled slap fight.
For the breakdown of the discovered TVC and TBS code names and how they are weighted, click on through.
The digging continues as athe code name “SIGHT” for an as-of-yet unannounced Black Series Electronic Helmet has been found. No word as to what it may be just yet.
Recent shipping data shows that the Hasbro Pulse/ShopDisney exclusive Black Series Clones of the Republic pack featuring Mace Windu and the 187th Legion Clone Trooper are arriving in the U.S.. Expected fulfillment is set for May 1, 2024, but with how Hasbro has been filling orders months in advance, that date is far from set in stone.
Recent shipping data shows that the Black Series Captain Rex helmet and the Deluxe Paz Vizsla reissue have started to arrive in the U.S.. We will keep an eye on possible order fulfillment with these and update when additional info is known. Projected release dates are March and April/May respectively.
It’s time to create some new wish lists of figures that Hasbro will probably never make!
Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus taking us back to The Prequel TrilogyFilms.
What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from these films of Star Wars lore? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.
Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
