Poking around the Walmart app this morning yielded results for the leaked* assortment breakdown of next year’s Black Series Archive wave. Word is they are $22.99 each – will there be a higher price point for the Black Series next year and will other lines/scales be affected as well?
*Note: Entertainment Earth has removed the listing from their site.
Last night I managed to locate a listing for another unannounced 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure via the Walmart app. It is listed simply as SW BL Deluxe Figure 1 without pricing. But with some additional checking via source TargetGod, I was able to confirm the price of $29.99 making it not exclusive to either store.
There is a second deluxe figure as well and will update with more info when located.
Some late night and early morning digging has uncovered new 6″ Black Series listings via the Walmart app. 7 new “state” codename figures join those from our previous report in July. The new ones are: “Iowa”, “Ohio”, “Kansas”, “South Carolina”, “Tennessee”, “Alabama” and “Georgia”. No further details are known of the figure at this time.
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.
It appears that the 3.75″ Retro Collection will continue on next year as I found listings for 7 codenamed figures via the Walmart app. tonight. As with everything else that’s coded, there is no way this tell what source they are from. Logic dictates that they would be from Return of the Jedi since that would be the next film in succession. Are they though???
A scan of shipping data this morning shows that the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon (Smuggler’s Run) is on the way to Hasbro’s U.S. warehouses for distribution. Also, the mystery TVC “Emerald” figure is also in the same shipment and is packed 8 per case leading me to believe that the other rumored “gem” TVC items (Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire) are packed similarly and are not a traditional wave of TVC figures. They are still listed as $17.99 each.
According to a new shipping manifest update, it looks like cases of the 6″ Black Series Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper are currently en route to the U.S. months before their projected release date of Oct./Nov. Will orders fill early or is Hasbro trying to beat the end of year/holiday shipping rush to make sure product is stateside for their release?
Confirming our report from last month, iO9 has posted the official reveal of 4 new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures from season 7 hitting preorder tomorrow at Walmart: Ahsoka Tano, 322nd Clone Trooper, Mandalorian Loyalist and Mandalorian Super Commando. Priced currently at $24.88 these are exclusive to Walmart*. Available Oct/Nov.
Update:*Walmart has the exclusive preorder for these, but they should be available via other retailers later in the year.
Update 2: There are conflicting reports regarding the exclusivity of these 4 figures. To be safe, treat them as if they are Walmart Exclusives until an official confirmation. Better safe than sorry.
