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 DAY Livestream 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.
6″ Black Series Captain Rex is back and you can preorder yours now at sponsor Entertainment Earth. Expected release in November 2021.
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.
The Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures are now available at Target.com
Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Clone Pilot Hawk
ARC Trooper Echo
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.
Today, we have a series of new code names added for our Master List of products. We’ll start things off with 19 new Black Series* and Black Series Archive listings in what I suspect are for 2022 release.
Black Series
Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Key West, Lunge, Miami, North Dakota, Rochester, Tampa, and Tarrytown
Black Series Archive
Cambridge, Gloucester, Lowell, Peabody, Quincy, Waltham, Woburn,
and Worchester
*It is unknown if any of these items are retailer exclusives.
Keep an eye on your preorders for the Ahsoka Tano Black Series Force FX Elite Lightsaber. They have started to arrive in Hasbro’s California distribution center and should be en route to retailers soon. Originally this was estimated as a July 2021 release.
You can still order it now from our sponsors Entertainment Earth and DorksideToys.
Today was a huge day for many collectors in search of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures at Target. We received and read dozens of reports of them being found up and down the coasts and through the midwest. Don’t pay scalper prices. Don’t believe stores that say they are discontinued or are not getting them. Network with your fellow collectors in order to help each other to complete your set.
Also, we’d like to thank those who sent kind words via social media and emails on how our reporting and information (particularly the DPCIs and availablility) helped you on your hunt for these figures.
