Armed with my codes from yesterday, I visited my local Target terminal and scanned them and sure enough both “Vermont” and “Eastwood” are in their database. Also of note, these appear to not be either Black Series or Vintage Collection items. The saga continues….
Update 2: An anonymous tip from Instagram has sent word that these are called Celebrate the Saga: Sith and Celebrate the Saga: Jedi respectively. These sound like some sort of figure multipack like in years past.
Shipping info today reveals that the upcoming Walmart exclusive 6″ Mandalorian Super Commando “Mauldolorian” and the Target exclusive 6″ Commander Pyre are currently en route to the US.
Correction: I misidentified the Mandalorian as the Loyalist. Text above has been updated.
Originally rumored back in June, Instagram follower @anerdydad has shared the first look at the 6″ Black Series Electrostaff Purge Trooper that is exclusive to Gamestop (US) and EBGames (Canada).
Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
Note: This is not the mystery Clone Trooper from the next wave of Black Series.

As we exclusively reported back in June, Hondo will be part of the 6″ Black Series line (087-16-6969) coming to Target later this month for the special store section for merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge. Today, a listing on Mercari has provided photographic evidence of the individually boxed figure. Thanks to William R. for the heads up and Wendi J. for the images.
With the rumor of the upcoming Black Series Captain Cardinal helmet, it was only a matter of time before it would be repainted as some digging tonight has turned up info for a standard First Order Stormtrooper Helmet. No word if it is the TFA or revised TLJ/TROS design. Price is $99.99.
With the exclusive figures like Hondo, DJ R-3X and the Mountain Trooper from the exclusive Galaxy’s Edge sets making their way to Target later this year, it was only inevitable that Commander Pyre joined them. I received word from TargetGod today that this figure is now in their system as well.
Target.com has officially posted some of the upcoming Galaxy’s Edge items to their website confirming some of our exclusive rumors regarding the partnership. Links include the TVC Smuggler’s Run Millennium Falcon ($399.99) with Honda, Chewbacca and Porgs (plus swappable sensor dishes), 6″ Captain Cardinal ($24.99), 6″ DJ R-3X ($24.99). Also included is a exclusive Funko POP! R5 Unit ($8.99), and a remote controlled Hyperdrive BB-8 Unit. ($99.99)
These items all show a July 21 availability. Look for more to be revealed soon.
Update: StarWars.com has made the official announcement.
