Here are advanced page links* for the upcoming Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series 07 Galen Erso and 08 Antoc Merrick Rogue One figures set to go up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm ET. If history is any indicator, I wouldn’t count on them launching right on time.
It was a pretty good day for Hasbro as they dropped a lot of official announcements for the Black Series and Vintage Collection with preorders for most starting tomorrow at 1pm ET.
Looks like there is a possibility of an 11th Black Series figure to join the reveals for tomorrow’s Hasbro Pulse event. As we mentioned before, there is another Gaming Greats Black Series figure that slots in between the Flametrooper 03 and the Nightbrother Warrior 05 figures. It should go up for preorders this week – probably on Thursday.
Collectors are in for a big couple days starting tomorrow at 11ET as Hasbro kicks off their I AM YOUR FATHER’S DAYLivestream on YouTube. As we’ve been teasing for a few weeks there are a lot of reveals expected for both The Black Series and The Vintage Collection. Like some previous events, reveals will happen tomorrow with preorders launching the following day (Thursday). Without spilling all the beans, we are pretty certain of the Black Series offerings (Archive and Rogue One reissues), TVC collectors should be pleasantly surprised (although many seem perpetually indignant) with the number of reveals.
GameStop’s warehouse in Texas has started to receive shipments of the exclusive 6” Black Series Flametrooper (Gaming Greats). Orders should begin processing in the next few weeks.
As a follow up to our report last week of 19 new Black Series codes being found, I was able to locate a corresponding listing in Target’s system. Based on the price, it is a good assumption that the figure code named “Lunge” is another Target Exclusive. No word as to which character it may be or its availability but we will update when we learn more.
I have also received info/skus for 3 Convention Exclusives releases. It is assumed they are for this year and a mix of Black Series and TVC as they aren’t coded with either designation and are simply labeled Convention Exclusive 1, 2 and 3.
