Hasbro has officially announced their upcoming Black Series May the 4th figures which we confirmed a couple weeks ago. They consist of the Stormtrooper (Walmart), Scout Trooper (Fan Channel) and B1 Battle Droid (Target). Click on through to the silliness/disappointment…

Target has started delivering their exclusive Black Series figure preorders ahead of tomorrow’s official release date so check your mailboxes and doorsteps.
Although we have a few weeks to go before the official release date (March 22), sidekick displays for the First Edition Black Series* figures for The Mandalorian and Grogu have started to pop up at Target. In case you missed the news (or already forgotten about these) the first wave of First Editions include:
01 The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe) – $33.99
02 Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver – $27.99
03 Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver – $27.99
04 Colonel Ward – $27.99
05 Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper – $27.99
At the time these were found, they were not street dated but that may have changed. In the U.S. market, these exclusive First Editions will only be available in physical Target and Walmart stores.
*Note: there is nothing unique about these released other than the packaging when compared to their mainline, non-exclusive, counterparts.
Thanks to WestCoastSoles on X for the image.
For some inexplicable dumbass reasoning, Target has now prevented the sales of this now old wave of Vintage Collection figures and has applied a street date for them for March 22. This also happens to be the street date for the new Mandalorian and Grogu products which are starting to his shelves as well. It’s amazing how dysfunctional basic retail sales (especially Target) are when they don’t distinguish old UPCs from new ones and tie to them to one specific DPCI, blocking them all from sales. Idiots.
The release date for the Target exclusive TBS Remnant Stormtrooper from TM&G has moved up one week from March 29 to March 22.

It was only a matter of time but Target has moved their Vintage Collection prices in line with MSRP and are now ringing out at $19.99 (previously $16.99). Congrats to those who were able to score this wave before the increase.
Reports are coming in regarding new Vintage Collection figures hitting Target stores in the central U.S. including Kansas, Texas and Minnesota. Most Targets are resetting aisles this week so your best chance at finding them is now. As a bonus, Target is still charging g $16.99 for TVC. Good luck on your searches. (087-26-2374)
Update: I picked these up today.
Target has set a new TVC assortment tag and DPCI (087-26-2374) which (at least in my area) maintains the $16.99 pricepoint. This DPCI should be associated with the figures in the wave with The Stranger, Padme, Shaak Ti, Maul (Shadow Lord), and Darth Vader (Emperor’s Wrath).
