Hasbro revealed the first tier in their Haslab Black Series Rancor campaign and it made many squeal – and not in the good way. Hasbro choose to lead off their first tier with a repack of the Target Exclusive 6″ Gamorrean Guard but on a POTF cardback with coin. This figure is unlocked at 11,000 units sold.
As if last weekend’s reveals, yesterday’s reveals and today’s preorders weren’t enough, Hasbro gave Pulse Premium Members an inside look at Hasbro HQ and debuted our first looks at 4 new Black Series figures: the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper, Omega, Echo and Bib Fortuna. No preorders were made available (nor date given) for these, despite other brands getting new items, and there was nothing for the Vintage Collection shown off.
Hasbro has officially launched the crowd-funded Haslab Black Series Rancor campaign with 4 bonus tiers to be revealed as the stretch goals are reached. Price is set at $349.99 and ends at midnight on December 6, 2021. Head over for the details.
We’ve read and received dozens of reports of collectors finding the newest wave of Vintage Collection figures at Target and Walmart. Hat tip to Hasbro in getting more TVC figures to shelves.
Walmart’s newest wave of exclusive TVC figures are now shipping via online orders. However, it seems it may be difficult to find cardbacks in pristine condition once again thanks to Walmart’s handling of their product.
Plus, be very careful with the Tusken Raider’s right hand… seems many copies of the figure suffer from the joint being fused, which means these may easily snap.
Hasbro/Hasbro Pulse has taken to social media to re-confirm the pending Haslab Black Series Rancor campaign. Expect it to launch around Hasbro Pulse Con. The HasbroPulse has a added a preview page to their site.
Thanks to a video from ToysTV, here you can see the packaging reveal for the upcoming TVC Emperor’s Throne Room set available this fall exclusive from Hasbro Pulse. You can see a preview above via our Twitter post and the full video here.
It appears that the next potential exclusive for SDCC/Hasbro Pulse is Vintage Collection related and features the long-awaited Emperor Palpatine with Throne. If this is true, it may explain the why the rumored figure has been held back from being revealed with its other case mates for it to debut in this set.

Long rumored to be joining Lando Calrissian “Antarctica”, IG-11 “Huron” and Teebo “Ontario”, Amazon AU has updated the listing for “Erie” as well confirming The Emperor coming to the Vintage Collection. The pages and listings are no longer visible publicly but remain visible to those who added them to a list for future purchase when available.
Those who preordered the exclusive TVC Paploo and AT-ST Driver figures from Walmart can start checking their statuses as orders have begun processing and shipping notifications are hitting inboxes.
Update: Leia (Endor) is shipping also.
