Yakface Instagram follower Jacob P. sent this pic from his store in Arkansas showing 2 more lightsabers from Galaxy’s Edge. Like the Lightsaber Workshop set we reported a couple weeks ago, these too look to be Bladebuilders compatible but also include 2 Kyber Crystals with each to customize your saber. Choose from Sith Warrior or Jedi Knight. Price is $12.99 each – DPCI is 087-16-1742
This morning while securing may new wave of Black Series figures at Target I found a case of new Galaxy’s Edge Roleplay Masks on a cart going back to the stock room. Coincidenatally, my brother-in-law found them on the pegs and are repacks of the First Order Stormtrooper and Mandalorian masks. Price is $9.99 and the street date is Aug. 30.
Additional scanning through shipping info also shows that the TVC Carbon-Freezing Chamber has arrived in warehouses in California. It is unknown if it will be released earlier than the originally proposed October 2020 date.
Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
Note: This is not the mystery Clone Trooper from the next wave of Black Series.
Poking around a bit with the Walmart app has turned up results for a new TVC Playset. Could this be something revealed in 4 days?
Yakface reader Ray M. reports finding the upcoming Target Exclusive DJ R-3X at his local store in north Houston. DPCI: 087-16-2284. Official release date is Aug. 30.
Instagram follower Codi S. reports finding the new wave of 6″ Black Series 4.0 figures at Target in Louisville, KY. Let the hunting resume! DPCI: 087-16-8467
Sponsor DorksideToys has updated their store with new images for the next repaint/reissue wave of Vintage Collection figures. There are some noticeable differences in how some of the figures are packaged in their bubbles as compared to their original runs and Obi-Wan’s reference photos looks to have been altered too. Head on over for a closer look at the carded and loose images.
A scan of shipping data this morning shows that the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon (Smuggler’s Run) is on the way to Hasbro’s U.S. warehouses for distribution. Also, the mystery TVC “Emerald” figure is also in the same shipment and is packed 8 per case leading me to believe that the other rumored “gem” TVC items (Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire) are packed similarly and are not a traditional wave of TVC figures. They are still listed as $17.99 each.
As we exclusively reported back in June, Hondo will be part of the 6″ Black Series line (087-16-6969) coming to Target later this month for the special store section for merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge. Today, a listing on Mercari has provided photographic evidence of the individually boxed figure. Thanks to William R. for the heads up and Wendi J. for the images.
