Some additional digging has potentially revealed a significant detail on the rumored Mandalorian Build-Up Pack we shared last week. According to Walmart’s system, this is a VINTAGE COLLECTION set, not a Black Series item — unless there are 2 separate items with the same name, that Australian distributor was wrong, or Walmart’s system is wrong. More info to come as we learn more.
Another bit of TVC news today. Three more new TVC figure listings have turned up in the Walmart system, this time, coded with gem names: “Sapphire”, “Emerald” and “Diamond”. No indication as to whom they might represent. The pricing is a bit weird for these but it may just be preliminary for the early listing. Again , no indication on availability or exclusivity.
Once again, thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
UPDATE: I have also added “VIN RUBY” to the list.
Thanks to some intel from WalmartGhost, it looks like there will be an the Incinerator TrooperTVC figure from The Mandalorian coming in the near future. No word on availability or exclusivity as of yet.
As a follow up to a tease I posted on Instagram back in March, I have now found an accessible link via the Walmart app to a listing for a new Vintage Collection playset to be revealed and released this year. It is not exclusive to Walmart (thank God) and isn’t a reissue of the POTF2 version. It is suspected to be the long-rumored Carbon Freezing Chamber playset from The Empire Strikes Back. Still no word as to how many (if any) figures it will include.
Update: It may include a single Stormtrooper and have electronics.
The long rumored third wave of figures in the 6″ Black Series TESB 40th Anniversary assortment have now popped up in the Walmart app. As you may recall, this wave consists of the Snowtrooper, Luke Skywalker (Dagobah), Chewbacca, Boba Fett and Darth Vader. The listing of these figures suggest that preorders will open in the near future. (These are not Walmart exclusives and pages are not yet active).
Instagram follower camaroguy85 sends word that he has received a preorder notification that his order for the Retro Collection figures has been bumped from May 4 to May 20. Check your inboxes for similar notifications.
Update: People are also receiving updates with a May 29 delivery date.
Instagram follower lurkmodesquad reports finding a set of the new Retro Collection figures thanks to our report from earlier today. He say he grabbed these from the Coral Springs, FL location and left the rest for other collectors.
Gold star for you my friend.
It looks like Walmart is starting to set their endcaps with new displays featuring the TBS Boba Fett Helmet, TBS 40th Anniversary figures and the Retro Collection TESB Wave. They are not register locked. Thanks to RM from southern Ohio for the images.
We’ve received and read multiple reports of collectors getting cancellation notifications for some or all of their orders for the upcoming second wave of Walmart Exclusive Retro Collection figures due to being unable to meet the demand of the items.
Thanks to Javier for sending the report.
Back in February, we exclusively reported 2 new waves of Vintage Collection figure coming later this year* and there has been an adjustment to the name of one of the figures in the first wave. Originally, it was listed as “CL VIN Clone Trooper” on Amazon and
“Airborne/Paratrooper” in other systems. I checked the info again today using the Walmart app and it is now listed as Clone Commander Wolffe. It is unknown if this is a new version or a repack* of the snow gear figure released in the 3.75″ Black Series line.
*Release date may change due to production and shipping delays
Update: He’s not a repack.
