GameStop has updated their site with a landing page for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Scout Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Jedi: Fallen Order. It is not available for order just yet but should be very soon. I also found the preorder SKU (218025) if you are looking to preorder in-store. Expected arrival date of October 28.
It looks like there is another 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure headed to GameStop soon. YouTuber UsualMike found a Scout Trooper from Jedi: Fallen Order at his store in Australia, unfortunately he wasn’t able to purchase it but snapped a quick image for proof.
Since this report, I was contacted by a GS employee and was told that this figure will go up for sale on October 9 and will be the last Gaming Great figure this year.
Thanks to an image from Instagram follower @starwarspoodoo we have our first look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Range Trooper (Holiday Edition) figure. There have been a few rumored TBS figures for the holidays but I don’t think many are prepared for this. Based on the social media responses I’ve received after posting this, they are overwhelmingly positive. I believe this is the Target Exclusive version priced at $24.99 and includes the Santa-esque Range Trooper, a Rudolph the red nosed reindeer inspired D-O and some icy weaponry.
It’s unknown if we will see this officially revealed tomorrow.
You may have missed our social media notifications via Instagram, Twitter and Patreon early this morning (especially those on the West Coast) you may have also missed the online release of the Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It was available for a couple of hours but it started disappearing from carts and then the page was removed from Walgreens.com altogether. Luckily there have been a a lot of retail sightings as well so hopefully this won’t prove to be as difficult as their last Black Series release.
Popped into my local Walgreens with UPC in-hand to find out the status of the upcoming 6” Black Series Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant – I was given an in-store ETA of 9/18 – and the WIC: 831041.
Tonight I have found evidence of yet another “convention exclusive” figure much like the Cad Bane, Heroes of Endor and ARC Trooper sets. Shipping manifest data reveals a pending arrival of SW BL CONVENTION EXCL 4 SAWYER – with “Sawyer” being a coded figure for The Mandalorian series. Speculation is that this character code is attributed to “The Armorer”.
Hasbro has just announced via Instagram they they will be having their Hasbro Pulse Con on September 25 & 26 where they will be having new official reveals and exclusives from Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, G.I.Joe and more.
I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.
Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.
Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….
UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.
