It looks like the exclusive 6″ Black Series First Order Elite Snowtrooper (previously available in the non-Hasbro mystery box) is now hitting Target stores in PA. Price is $24.99 and the DPCI is (087-16-1260). This report also confirms our previous article from September regarding its separate availability.
Ignore the price in the image as those pages are for 6″ TBS C-3PO w/Babu Frik.
Keep and eye out at your local Walmart as several stores from across the U.S. have started receiving and setting prefilled aisle shippers that include both of these figures.
Update: I hit up my local Walmart (Blaine, MN) at about midnight and found the new pallet with 6” Ghost Yodas, Jedi Lukes, TVC Yavin Lukes and the 3 new gold prequel Skywalker Saga sets. Over in the regular aisle they had several 5” GOA Jedi Lukes and a dozen TVC Lando (Skiff Guard).
JediBusiness has posted official word that the mystery 6″ Black Series figure bundled with the game Jedi: Fallen Order is in fact the Purge Trooper, as long speculated. The figure will also be available for purchase separately starting November 15.
Update: Added a scan from the upcoming Holiday Gift Guide showing the figure for $22.99
You may have caught this rumor/tease of ours back in June. Hidden with the article you can make out the italicized letter “FOX” and now it appears that you can preorder this figure at your local GameStop thank to an image from @kylocollector courtesy of kixin_around.
UPDATE: GameStop has apparently stopped taking in-store preorders for this figure. No word as to when they may resume. Thanks to those who left comments regarding this new development.
Back in April, we reported on a potential exclusive code named “Dublin N Prov” being listed in the EB Games system. Recent reveals confirm that “Dublin” is the code name for C-3PO in The Rise of Skywalker, which lead to the assumption that “Prov” or “Providence” would be R2-D2. This is not the case. Shipping info that I was able to find today, reveals that this is a two-pack of some sort with the aformentioned C-3PO and a new character named Babu Frik.
I know nothing about this new character but there must be some relationship to the protocol droid that plays out in the film. Will this be angry eyes 3PO or the “Rambo” version with additional accessories as seen on some artwork? No word yet on where this will be offered in the U.S.
We’ve received and read several reports of collectors receiving their shipments of convention exclusives from Hasbro Pulse with varying degrees of damage. Boba Fett with crushed blisters, Jedi Legacy packs with folded over/creased upper tabs due to being packed into small of a box, and Sith Trooper boxes crushed or torn. Hopefully these reports are in the minority, especially with the lengths collectors had to go through to even be able to order them (aside from the Luke Set).
