Walmart continues to be the store of choice (at the moment) for finding new 6″ Black Series figures. @Sandman804 tags us in this tweet with a store report from Virginia.
Thanks to a tip from the local @jedidefender crew, I was able to snap up the new Kylo Ren (Unmasked) POP! figure from Walmart today for myself and a couple of friends.

Twitter follower @Z0rn send word that he found the Ezra’s Speeder Bike at Walmart this morning.
Walmarts are resetting their aisles this week and next (as evidenced by the new planograms posted in stores) so look for new product on your shelves soon.
Who says they aren't shipping new stuff! #goodhunting @yak_face @swactionnews pic.twitter.com/eUnatENMGm

Scott from Tulsa shares this AWESOME 6″ Black Series store find with us via Twitter. As a bonus, they rang up at $9.00 each. Great score, Scott!

This figure was leaked a couple days ago during Funko’s live Periscope video but now official “glam” shots of the Walmart Exclusive POP! Kylo Ren (Unmasked) has made its way online.
Thanks to @acrossthestars on Twitter for the heads-up.
We’ve been receiving multiple reports of the newest Hasbro 3.75″ figures from The Force Awakens hitting Walmart stores from coast to coast. Above is the latest report via a tweet from @Halo44 in Pico Rivera, CA.
Instagram follower “joblessmoth” sends word that he scored a set of the newest 6″ Black Series figures from his Walmart in North Carolina. This latest wave includes Jango Fett (Geonosis), First Order Flametrooper, Finn (FN-2187) and Han Solo.
After an extended drought, some St. Louis are Wal-Mart stores have started receiving new TBS 3.75″ figures. Good luck on those toy runs and be sure to keep us posted on your finds.
While it was a nice surprise finding Wal-Marts latest wave of 3.75″ Black Series today, the excitement quickly turned to aggravation once opening Finn… I picked up two of this figure, and both had fused right elbow joints.
The first one snapped immediately – the second one I was able to save only through my experience with customizing. Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a widespread issue… but please share your experiences after the jump!
It appears that with the new year, Wal-Mart has increased the price of basic TFA figures by about a dollar each. This puts them closer in line with the likes of competing retailers; and after having a hard time keeping Star Wars figures in stock around the holidays, this price hike comes as little surprise. So be prepared to pay a little more for the “budget line” moving forward.
