As of now, the TBS Heroes of Endor set is sold out for today while the TBS Wampa and TVC ARC Troopers set are still available. Will you be trying again tomorrow for items you may have missed today (including non-SW merch)?
Just a few more minutes until the launch of the Hasbro Pulse Con 2020 Sneak Peek via YouTube.
Walmart will be taking preorders at 4pm for the TVC Carbonized Collection assortment of figures from The Mandalorian. Each are priced at $17.99 and should be available around December 1.
Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.
