Collectors have been anxiously awaiting some sort of update on the official release/preorder of the Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Battalion Clone Trooper announced last week. So here’s a “non-update” update: as of today, Walgreens still doesn’t have this in their system – neither online nor in-store.
If we use the last Walgreens exclusive as a guide, the 6″ Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant never went up for preorder either. It was leaked on August 18, 2020, officially announced on August 21, and then went online for purchase (not preorder) a month later on September 18. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened for the new 212th Clone Trooper.
The next wave of 6″ Black Series has started to hit retail. Reddit user JediMindTricks75 reports finding them at Walmart in Kenosha, WI today.
Our friends at TheFwoosh alert us to 3 new store exclusive Black Series going up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm EDT. Figures include:

It is unknown who these figures are at the moment but they do ship individually in cases of 8, don’t correspond with any existing SKUs I currently have and they have arrived in the U.S..
