Tonight I have found evidence of yet another “convention exclusive” figure much like the Cad Bane, Heroes of Endor and ARC Trooper sets. Shipping manifest data reveals a pending arrival of SW BL CONVENTION EXCL 4 SAWYER – with “Sawyer” being a coded figure for The Mandalorian series. Speculation is that this character code is attributed to “The Armorer”.
A couple weeks ago we posted word of the possibility of 2 new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figures coming to the line later this year, early next. With some searching via the Walmart app, the second set has been located. It is rumored that the first of these is Jar Jar Binks and the second has yet to be uncovered. Neither set is exclusive to Walmart and both are priced at $29,99. More info to come when available.
I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.
Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.
Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….
UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.
Last night I managed to locate a listing for another unannounced 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure via the Walmart app. It is listed simply as SW BL Deluxe Figure 1 without pricing. But with some additional checking via source TargetGod, I was able to confirm the price of $29.99 making it not exclusive to either store.
There is a second deluxe figure as well and will update with more info when located.
There is another apparently another Target Exclusive headed stores for the Galaxy’s Edge merchandising campaign. Look for R5-P8 in stores this October for $24.99. Thank to TargetGod for the intel.
Some late night and early morning digging has uncovered new 6″ Black Series listings via the Walmart app. 7 new “state” codename figures join those from our previous report in July. The new ones are: “Iowa”, “Ohio”, “Kansas”, “South Carolina”, “Tennessee”, “Alabama” and “Georgia”. No further details are known of the figure at this time.
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.
