Doing some early morning reconnaissance today, I found information for 4 figures for Black Series Wave 35 from the Andor series: Cassian Andor, Bix Caleen, Luthen Rael and Senator Mon Mothma. Look for an official announcement on these later today at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Target is finally processing and shipping preorders for the long-awaited Black Series Boba Fett (Droids) figure. If you recall, this figure went up for preorder on Sept. 24, 2021 and it is now just hitting stores in the U.S.
You may recall last year we had a look at what was set to be a continuation of the 2020 Holiday Edition Black Series figures, but distribution/production being what it was in 2021, only a handful of unofficiallly announced figures made their way to collectors.

We received several reports on collectors finding the Deluxe Black Series Dark Trooper at both Target and Walmart stores across the U.S.
Walmart.com has updated their site with new graphic for their Collector Con on October 6 and you can just barely make out the silhoutte of the halloween-themed Black Series “Were-Wookiee” that debuted at SDCC this past July.
Also launching that day are preorders for the Black Series Imperial Officer (Dark Times) and Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) figures.
Instagram follower aztoyhuntersguild reports finding a handful of the long delayed exclusive Black Series Boba Fett (Droids) figure at Target in Goodyear, AZ. Look for this figure in your area around Oct. 2 and use codes DPCI: 087-16-3003 and/or TCIN: 83690285 to aid in acquiring your bounty.
A quick reminder that tomorrow at 9am ET, Target will be launching preorders for the exclusive Black Series Shoretrooper and Black Series Imperial Officer (Ferrix) from Andor.

Amazon is now taking preorders for the exclusive Black Series Mandalorian/Ahsoka Tano/Grogu Set revealed today. This set feature tweaked versions of existing figures to incorporate new deco (Mando) and new accessories (beskar spear, cloak for Ahsoka) and an updated Grogu — all within new Plastic-Free Packaging (PFP). The price $66.99 with an expected release date of Spring 2023, though it may be much sooner as I already see record of it arriving in the U.S.
We received reports that the long-awaited Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis) set has started to surface in stores. These should start becoming more prevalent over the next week or so as the clearance items are replaced with “new” products.
