Poking around at Target’s price checking stations, I managed to uncover two new potential Black Series exclusives that follow the “exercise” code names started by “Lunge” which we reported a couple months ago.
“Squat” is currently priced similarly to the recent Target exclusive Clone Wars figures at $26.49, while “Jog” is $10 more and suggests it being a deluxe item.
The UPCs I have for these don’t match anything I’ve previously uncovered (yet) so these are definitely new items. This info has been added to our 2021 Master List for future reference.
It was a pretty good day for Hasbro as they dropped a lot of official announcements for the Black Series and Vintage Collection with preorders for most starting tomorrow at 1pm ET.
As a follow up to our report last week of 19 new Black Series codes being found, I was able to locate a corresponding listing in Target’s system. Based on the price, it is a good assumption that the figure code named “Lunge” is another Target Exclusive. No word as to which character it may be or its availability but we will update when we learn more.
Today was a huge day for many collectors in search of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures at Target. We received and read dozens of reports of them being found up and down the coasts and through the midwest. Don’t pay scalper prices. Don’t believe stores that say they are discontinued or are not getting them. Network with your fellow collectors in order to help each other to complete your set.
Also, we’d like to thank those who sent kind words via social media and emails on how our reporting and information (particularly the DPCIs and availablility) helped you on your hunt for these figures.
One of the first acquisitions of the new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures has happened via Instagram follower EnchantedJedi. He was able to score Clone Pilot Hawk from a Target in Roswell, New Mexico. If you have collector friends in the area, now’s the time.
As we theorized back in April, I was able to confirm that the 4 Target Exclusive Black Series figures from The Clone Wars (Obi-Wan, Anakin, ARC Trooper Echo and Clone Pilot Hawk) are indeed a part of the Father’s Day promo and will be located in a special section in stores set to launch* on May 23. Other Star Wars items include clothing and POP!s.
*YMMY whether your store sets before or after that planned date.
Online retailer Zavvi has preorders available for the Target Exclusive Clone Wars figures. I plead ignorance on their reliabliity or shipping practices but if you’re desperate for an alternative they may be for you.
