A video captured by @_figgie_smalls at FanExpo Canada looks to have caught an unannounced Black Series set on display. The pack, code named “Giant”, includes a STAP w/Mercenary Guard Droid variant as well a(nother) Mandalorian with swappable head from his battle on Nal Hutta. This is likely an Amazon exclusive and retails for $84.99 U.S.. More details to come later…
For those chasing, here are some handy scan cards that you can use to search for the exclusive First Edition Black Series at Target and Walmart (hitting Walmart now). Simply scan the unique barcode on the bottom right of each image at a kiosk or handheld device. (When scanned products will come up with their code names).
Although we have a few weeks to go before the official release date (March 22), sidekick displays for the First Edition Black Series* figures for The Mandalorian and Grogu have started to pop up at Target. In case you missed the news (or already forgotten about these) the first wave of First Editions include:
01 The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe) – $33.99
02 Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver – $27.99
03 Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver – $27.99
04 Colonel Ward – $27.99
05 Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper – $27.99
At the time these were found, they were not street dated but that may have changed. In the U.S. market, these exclusive First Editions will only be available in physical Target and Walmart stores.
*Note: there is nothing unique about these released other than the packaging when compared to their mainline, non-exclusive, counterparts.
Thanks to WestCoastSoles on X for the image.
The release date for the Target exclusive TBS Remnant Stormtrooper from TM&G has moved up one week from March 29 to March 22.
Based upon some additional digging, I think I’ve been able to ascertain that there will not only be two Black Series waves dedicated to The Mandalorian and Grogu but BOTH waves will feature First Edition (white box) packaging. Although the mainline figures included in wave 2 are unknown, I believe that Zeb Orrelios (Deluxe), Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper and Embo will be part of it and have First Edition counterparts exclusive to Target and Walmart in the U.S. The other two figures in the wave are still anyone’s guess.
Until then, we will continue researching and speculating. This is the way.
Based on information shared to us via Return of the Nerd Star Wars, it looks like there is very strong rumor identifying one of the upcoming Vintage Collection items in our master list as the AT-RT with The Mandalorian & Grogu from the film. This set has a release date of March 22 – which falls in line with other TM&G items – and has a price of $69.99.
As always, all rumors, dates and prices are unofficial, approximate and subject to cancellation and/or change by the manufacturer.
Update: this should be a Fan Channel
Update 2: This was revealed to be the Remnant AT-RT from The Mandalorian and Grogu and includes a Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver
