Walmart stores are trying to clear out product from The Last Jedi now to make way for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Basically everything is getting marked down (though your mileage may vary).
Personal Note: The 5poa figures would move better if they were somewhat customizer friendly (without split torsos)! Take note, Hasbro!
Like previous merchandise launches (The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi), multiple waves of 6″ Black Series may make it into the hands of collectors via retail (brick and mortar and online) for the launch of Solo: A Star Wars Story products in April. Wave 16 has already started showing up in advance of the street date and Wave 17 may be hot on its heels.
It looks like the long wait for the Walmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Throne Room) may be about to end. Revised store planograms now show a shelf placement for this elusive set. It would makes sense that a bulk of these were held back for the home video release of The Last Jedi. We’ll will surely let you know if these start turning up. Until then, you can track the nationwide supply via Brickseek with SKU 287877571.
