As a follow up to our Rumor Report back in January regarding the return of Count Dooku to the Black Series line, infomation that I have found indicates that was inaccurate and the figure is actually the pipelined Darth Sidious. Sidious will be packed alongside the single packed Super Battle Droid and both figures are fan channel exclusives (like Padme, Anakin, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Phase I Clone Trooper) as they are part of the Prequel “mini-beat”.
Two new LEGO Star Wars sets were officially annouonced today at LEGOCon 2022: 75337 AT-TE Walker (1082 pcs.) $139.99 and set 75323 The Justifier (1022 pcs.) $169.99. Both have an August 1 release date.
Sponsor DorksideToys is kicking off a new sale on in-stock merchanding including this Black Series Bundle for $39.99 that includes Commander Cody, Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves. Be sure to check their sale page for new deals today and tomorrow.
We’ve received requests on developing a guide for the current mural packaging for The Black Series that shows the sequence of each line according to source material. Click on through for the list and we will add this banner to our front page for easy reference and update as needed.

Good news! The Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Clone Trooper now shows up in their system. Bad news it says “discontinued (item is not orderable)”. So it is still up in the air when/if these are coming as it says none are in transit and none are on order.
We had hinted at these in various IG posts and comments as well as on our master list but Jedi Aayla Secura, Ki-Adi Mundi and ARC Trooper Jesse will be joining the Black Series next year with Ewok Celebration Leia, Figrin D’an and New Republic Security Droid. (Not sure at this time of the Jedi will be from AOTC or ROTS)
Thanks to JediInsider for the wave details.
Collectors have been anxiously awaiting some sort of update on the official release/preorder of the Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Battalion Clone Trooper announced last week. So here’s a “non-update” update: as of today, Walgreens still doesn’t have this in their system – neither online nor in-store.
If we use the last Walgreens exclusive as a guide, the 6″ Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant never went up for preorder either. It was leaked on August 18, 2020, officially announced on August 21, and then went online for purchase (not preorder) a month later on September 18. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened for the new 212th Clone Trooper.
Our friends at TheFwoosh alert us to 3 new store exclusive Black Series going up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm EDT. Figures include:
Crosshair (Imperial) from The Bad Batch – Walmart
Captain Rex from The Bad Batch – Walmart
212th Battalion Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars – Walgreens
Sponsor DorksideToys is now taking preorders for Case, set and individual figures from the new Black Series Archive Wave 1 for 2021. This assortment includes Han Solo (Hoth – Brown Coat), Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Grand Admiral Thrawn and Clone Commander Cody.
