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.
One of the first acquisitions of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures has happened via Instagram follower EnchantedJedi. He was able to score Clone Pilot Hawk from a Target in Roswell, New Mexico. If you have collector friends in the area, now’s the time.
Here are the links* for the 3 exclusive Vintage Collection figures and 2 exclusive Black Series figures that are scheduled for preorder at Walmart today at 1pm ET.
I’ve been doing some research and conferring with sources over the past few days to get some sort of grasp on what may (and may not) be revealed and available for preorder tomorrow. That being said, take what I say with a grain of salt to tamp down lofty expectations.
Following up again on our continued research of new products coming to the Vintage Collection, I have found that cases of the mystery figure “SW VIN TRIANGLE” have arrived in the U.S. This figure along with “SQUARE” and “RECTANGLE” are speculated to be another batch of Walmart exclusive TVC figures. Hopefully we shall find out next week.
Poking around through the Walmart app, I located a listing for a new Black Series figure – code named “LOUISIANA”. Based on the higher price point it looks to be another exclusive figure of some sort. No word on who it may be or when it will be available.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
