It appears there is another snafu with the Vintage Collection numbering system (similar to what happened with Princess Leia Yavin Ceremony VC150/VC164 and Cara Dune VC164) as both the Walmart Exclusive Incinerator Trooper and Din Djarin* Build Up Pack figures share the VC177 designation. Hasbro’s “official” checklist shows the Incinerator Trooper as VC177 so will we see a running change to the Mandalorian or the trooper?

Following up on a rumor from July 11, it appears that the 6″ Black Series figure code named “Indiana” has reached the Hasbro warehouse in California. Interestingly, this figure is being shipped in the same container as the Target exclusive Din Djarin pack, Amazon exclusive Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike, and the Walmart exclusive Mandalorian Super Commando. One could infer that “Indiana” is also an exclusive. No word yet as to the identity of this mysterious figure but we will update when more is discovered.
I received interesting word today that a new 6″ Black Series item has been listed in EBGames system as “Clone Trooper Deluxe”. Could we be getting an ARC Trooper finally or is this a standard clone with a bunch of weapons/accessories? We’ll just have to wait and see.
According to recent shipping data, it looks like the recently revealed TVC Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) with The Child and the TVC Incinerator Trooper have reached the Hasbro distribution center in California. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll be in collectors’ hands prior to their December release dates.
Walmart has (accidentally) opened preorders for the long rumored TVC Mandalorian Build Up pack from Hasbro. Like the Black Series version, this includes The Mandalorian with The Child and Pram for the Vintage Collection. Price is $24.99 and will release mid December 2020.
Watch for a half dozen or more Mandalorian figure preorders to launch next week for #MandoMondays
Update: Direct link on Walmart.com has been removed and forwarded to their Mando Mondays landing page. Watch for this item to be available next week.

Despite the Mandalorian Super Commando hitting retail now in the U.S., Walmart is updating some preorders pushing them back to late November. Thanks to FreddyJazz for the alert.
We’ve read and received reports that the Walmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Mandalorian Super Commando from The Clone Wars has started hitting stores. The image above was from a store in North Lauderdale, FL and this tweet we posted was from San Antonio, TX.
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.
