The finds continue as I managed to local 8 new UPCs and Walmart SKUs for upcoming Black Series figures for The Rise of Skywalker, Jedi Fallen Order and The Mandalorian. Based on what I’m finding for new product, I think it is now safe to assume that the code “Oslo” is for Kylo Ren. More on that soon….
Update: “FO Cal” is Cal Kestis from the new game Jedi: Fallen Order
Update 2: Thinking linguistically, La Huck may be the female form of the code, and it would be Cara Dune.
Update 3: “LA” is a substitute for “live action” as this refers to characters from The Mandalorian
As a follow up to our exclusive report back in January, I managed to find a UPC and Walmart SKU for the rumor E9 Vintage Collection Medium Vehicle. No word yet on what it is but I believe it is different than the rumored TVC Luke Skywalker X-wing coming later this year.
As a follow up to our exclusive reporting in January, I managed to find several listings for our rumored list upcoming E9 Galaxy of Adventures products including basic figures, vehicle and the Droid 3pk. You can see the list of ten products with UPC and Walmart SKUs in our expanding 2019 Master List.
It seems like a fitting time to bring this up considering the news from earlier. A quick side-by-side comparison of the new Retro Collection Chewbacca vs. the original Kenner mold shows that the Retro model is noticably smaller in stature than the figure it pays homage. The differences also extend to sculpting of the fur and his iconic Kenner bowcaster.
Walmart’s exclusive TVC Skiff Guard Lando Calrissian figure is listed as “in stock” as of this post. Good luck to all who place an order and thanks to Bryan Layne for the heads up!
Hasbro has updated their info for the new Retro Collection assortment of figures. They now state (via press release) that Target will have these this month but online/fan channel retailers will offer them in the Fall.
Update 2: These figures are now available for purchase in-store (at those stores that have them anyway) as they have been removed from “register-locked” status.
The Walmart exclusive Jabba’s Palace Adventure Set has fluctuated as “In Stock” and “Out of Stock” this evening online.., I personally placed an order, and my email states that I will receive it on May 18.
If you are able to place an order, let us know! And hopefully orders won’t be cancelled like some of the TVC Skiff Guard Lando Calrissian orders were.
In what may be the most rock bottom price report yet, Twitter follower @NoOneisChris reports finding the Vintage Collection TIE Fighter for a mere $10 at Walmart in Ohio (Eastlake).
With the reemergence of The Vintage Collection, Hasbro has been knocking quite a few Imperial army builder figures out of the park. Retail availability is another story of course due to the Wave 1 logjam, but there’s no denying that many of the recent Imperial trooper figures are extremely impressive.
That being said, what are your army-building goals moving forward? How many of the TVC Rogue One Stormtrooper figures do you want for your collection? Will Hasbro come even close to meeting demand for that figure? Do you want to see figures like the Patrol Trooper and Mud Trooper scaled down in 3.75″ scale?
