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.
The Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures are now available at Target.com
Anakin Skywalker
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Clone Pilot Hawk
ARC Trooper Echo
I have also received info/skus for 3 Convention Exclusives releases. It is assumed they are for this year and a mix of Black Series and TVC as they aren’t coded with either designation and are simply labeled Convention Exclusive 1, 2 and 3.
Today, we have a series of new code names added for our Master List of products. We’ll start things off with 19 new Black Series* and Black Series Archive listings in what I suspect are for 2022 release.
Black Series
Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Key West, Lunge, Miami, North Dakota, Rochester, Tampa, and Tarrytown
Black Series Archive
Cambridge, Gloucester, Lowell, Peabody, Quincy, Waltham, Woburn,
and Worchester
*It is unknown if any of these items are retailer exclusives.
Keep an eye on your preorders for the Ahsoka Tano Black Series Force FX Elite Lightsaber. They have started to arrive in Hasbro’s California distribution center and should be en route to retailers soon. Originally this was estimated as a July 2021 release.
You can still order it now from our sponsors Entertainment Earth and DorksideToys.
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.
Sponsor DorksideToys is having a BIG SALE on select Black Series, Vintage Collection, Mission Fleet and more! Check out the selection at DorksideToys.com
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.
On this episode we talk about The Bad Batch on Disney+(no spoilers), Hasbro’s Fan First May the Fourth livestream event and the #TimeForTonnika petition started by Victoria’s Cantina. Please make sure to click here and sign the petition on change.org to let Hasbro, Disney & Lucasfilm know that we really need Tonnika Sisters made for The Vintage Collection.
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.
