As a follow up to last week’s report regarding Target aisle reset plans, we’ve receive word that the planogram has now been updated to include the popular Gamorrean Guard again – that will mean (at least) 3 exclusives of the shelves for October. (Gamorrean, Moloch, at Bespin Escape Leia).
Instagram follower dark side_collector reports finding the 6″ Black Series Moloch at his store in El Paso, TX (along with a Gamorrean Guard to boot).
The 6″ Target Exclusive Moloch from Solo: A Star Wars Story has started to hit Target. Thanks to Don from Glendale, CA for the image. Also found in San Bernardino and San Diego.
A 6″ Black Series General Grievous figure has been rumored for a long time and a few months ago I happened upon a UPC thought to be assigned to this figure. I’ve been checking my usual sources since then hoping for some additional confirmation, and then yesterday while hunting about Brickseek, the UPC finally triggered a corresponding item for $29.99 at Target. The price does fall inline with the likes of the Gamorrean Guard and Moloch, so I’m going with my gut here and thinking that this will also be Target’s exclusive in the US.
That being said, were probably still six months out from its release so release dates may change (see TVC and TBS Mimban Stormtrooper and TVC Rey). Until then, save the above info for your reference and we’ll update when more definitive details are known.
UPDATE: So new info has come to light and the exclusivity of Grievous may be in flux — to the point where it may not be an exclusive at all and just part of a series of Deluxe 6″ Black Series figures.
Always in motion is the future.
Target stores are prepping a new update to the Star Wars aisle for the end of September/beginning of October and a lot of things are getting marked down now but some will be removed from the section altogether (for now). Click on through for the details.

This is not breaking news, but the new 6″ Enfys Nest w/ Swoop Bike has been showing up at various Target stores recently, including the St. Louis area over the past week. It might be worth an extra stop if you’re interested in picking up this set.
Hasbro’s 6″ Black Series Enfys Nest’s Swoop Bike has started to hit Target in the US. This report comes in from my brother-in-law who found a couple on shelf at the Seattle Northgate Target.
Target.com now has a placeholder for their exclusive Force Link 2 3.75” (Imperial Trooper) Figure 6-pk. which we broke news of last week. As you can see it includes an awesome selection of troopers from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Some investigation this morning has turned up information regarding a possible trooper multi-pack coming to Target in Hasbro’s Force Link 2.0 line. From what I’ve seen, this set includes 6 troopers from Solo: A Star Wars Story:
Mimban Stormtrooper
Stormtrooper Officer
Imperial Patrol Trooper
TIE Fighter Pilot
Mudtrooper A (red arm band – Han corporal)
Mudtrooper B (white arm band – medic?)
This set answer the questions regarding the those missing troopers from the Hasbro Force Link app we revealed back in June. Price is set at $44.99. Pertinent info has been added to our UPC/DPCI Master List.
Update: street date: 8/5 (subject to change)
Don’t give up hope on your hunt for the 6″ Black Series Gamorrean Guard. Stores are getting shipments this week and they will continue to get more plus, not all stores have reset their aisles yet. Over the past 4 days, my local store (Champlin, MN) has stocked the shelves twice (July 26 and July 30) since its release meaning some stores are receiving multiple cases and not just one, but as always your mileage my vary. For those that placed orders online, emails are going out stating a delay until August 20, so hopefully that will reassure you that you are covered until then.
