I also found two listings on Amazon for Hasbro products with code names “Vermont” and “Eastwood”. No telling yet what these are other than they cost $30 each and are slated for release on October 1. Also no word on exclusivity.
Direct links are not provided in case it triggers their removal (like TVC Fives and Hondo).
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.
Details on these two releases are pretty vague but I’ve received word of two new Black Series Deluxe Figures added to Target’s system. Both figures retail for $29.99 each. There are no attributable code names for either as they are only listed as “Star Wars Deluxe Figure”. More details to come as they become available. No word as to their availability or exclusivity as well.
Nine new coded listings from both the Black Series (5) and Vintage Collection (4) have turned up via the Walmart app. They are as follows:
Black Series (States): “Virginia”, “Wisconsin”, “Florida”, “Illinois”, “Indiana”
Vintage Collection (Mountains): “Rocky”, “Alps”, “Andes”, “Himalayas”
No word as to their identity of course. The TVC figures are NOT Walmart exclusives, the exclusivity of theTBS figures is unknown as of this post.
All have been added to our expanding 2020/2021 Master List.
Thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
The June 5th rumor of there being a Gaming Greats release of Jango Fett (Bounty Hunter) for the Black Series line has been confirmed thanks to new images released by Hasbro and passed on to us via Instagram follower figurebrian.
Update: available for preorder now at GameStop.
Another bit of TVC news today and a follow up to our Tuesday Rumor Report, I can publish EIGHT more new TVC figure listings which I found via the Walmart app: “Superior”, “Europe”, “Australia”, “America”, “Labrador”, “Quebec”, “Nova Scotia” and “New Brunswick”. No indication as to what characters they might represent or exclusivity. More info to come as it can be divulged. Products have been added to our expanding 2020/2021 Master List of products.
This morning we found evidence via overseas shipping info for an upcoming Convention Exclusive Black Series Cad Bane from The Clone Wars. The item is listed as “E96345L00 12 PCS SW BL CONVENTION EXCL CA D BANE STAR WARS”. This item should be available through Hasbro Pulse at a later date. Watch for an official announcement soon.
Today we can fill in a couple mystery placeholders in our Master List of rumored figures as new listinsg for 4 new 6″ Black Series figure have been uncovered thanks to the Walmart app: Ahsoka (S7), Ahsoka Loyalist Trooper, Nite Owl Mandalorian and the Mauldolor Trooper. Thanks again to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
Word is that Hasbro will be officially announcing/launching several new preorders tomorrow for the Black Series line and, if my count is accurate, it could be more than a dozen products. Hasbro Pulse did mention a few weeks ago via a comment on Instagram that the wave with The Mandalorian in Beskar Armor would be available for order on May 28. One could assume that the entire wave will be available (and then some).
The question is, will there be any major surprises? I can think of one and it’s long overdue.
As a follow up to a tease I posted on Instagram back in March, I have now found an accessible link via the Walmart app to a listing for a new Vintage Collection playset to be revealed and released this year. It is not exclusive to Walmart (thank God) and isn’t a reissue of the POTF2 version. It is suspected to be the long-rumored Carbon Freezing Chamber playset from The Empire Strikes Back. Still no word as to how many (if any) figures it will include.
Update: It may include a single Stormtrooper and have electronics.
