Our spy was also privy to discussions about Hasbro really wanting to bring back figure display stands/bases back into the 3.75″ product line up. These too are being shopped as exclusives but no official retail partner has signed on yet. More to come…
We’ve received an intelligence report from a trusted source that there are plans for an exclusive 6″ Black Series Trash Compactor scene in the works. Our rebel spy was able to see a newly sculpted head for the existing 6″ Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise. It is unknown at this time if it would include multiple figures (Han, Chewie, Leia, and Luke) or if it would be something like the recent Kmart Exclusive Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) as the concept is still looking for an official retail partner. More to come….
Walmart.com will be offering their exclusive 6″ Black Series Battlefront Imperial Shock Trooper for order soon. Watch for the link via social media in a few days.
UPDATE: New details revealed
With the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ release nearing, Walmart is starting the celebration a little early by hosting ‘Epic Weekend’ events on Nov. 13-15 at more than 3000 stores across the country.

@yak_face Just got a text for Kmart saying that my Kylo Ren TBS exclusive just shipped.

We’re receiving several reports (like the one above) that shipping notifications are been sent out for the Kmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) figure.
Be sure to keep an eye on their website as well as it has gone up again (intermittently) today for preorder.
Yakreader Brett I. sends us an image via Facebook of his Target in Lakeville, MN which has several of the 6″ Black Series Poe Dameron & Riot Control First Order Stormtrooper “Escape from Destiny” sets on shelf.
Thanks for the report Brett.
Also part of the Toys”R”Us Great Big Book of Awesome 2015 is their “20% off all 3.75″ Star Wars Action Figures and Vehicles” sale. They do state that this promotion excludes 3.75″ Black Series products, which if your store is like mine, covers the older stock orange and blue TBS figures as well as the exclusive Black Series Battle on Endor and Jabba’s Rancor Pit multipacks.
After hitting several Walmart and Target stores on my travels this weekend, I managed to see a few new products hitting shelves or at least arriving in stores.

Hurry, it won’t last long. Free shipping too!
