A lot of our readers have reached out to us with concerns about the early sale of The Black Series 6-Inch Luke Skywalker (Skywalker Strikes) - European Convention Exclusive on HasbroPulse.com. As many of you know, this figure was not suppose to be offered until 11/4 at Hasbro Pulse (for the USA), but they made an error and put it up for sale on 9/30 and took it down after a few minutes. As we previously mentioned Hasbro Pulse told us it went up for sale in error. But we also reached out to our Hasbro Contacts today asking why this figure went up for sale early and did it sell out?

Here is Hasbro's Response:

As we first reported back in September, our Walgreens contact stated that their Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Clone Commander Obi-Wan figure was suppose to start to arrive at local stores around 10/26. Today readers have started to send in reports of finding them. If you are still in need of these be sure to check your local stores the next few days.

Also for those that were able to order these figures from Walgreens.com on 10/22 (as we first reported here), orders are starting to arrive at doorsteps. Currently these are sold out online and the product page has been removed.

This figure includes 2 Blaster Rifles, which can be attached to his right hip. The sculpt looks great and has plenty of articulation.

As we previously assumed back on October 8th, Hasbro has confirmed with us today that Game Stop's Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Purge Stormtrooper figure will indeed be the bundled figure with their Jedi: Fallen Order Game Bundle and this figure will also be available for sale on its own as well. Per Hasbro, this figure will be available on November 15th to those that preordered the game bundle and also for sale on its own.

Also one of our Game Stop contacts believes (not 100%, but pretty confident) they have found the item# for The Black Series 6-Inch Purge Stormtrooper figure.

Stopped by my local Houston Target tonight and they were just putting out 3 cases of The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch TROS Wave 2 figures. The new figures in this wave are Jawa, Sith Trooper, Shadow Trooper, and Princess Leia Organa (Yavin).

Also for those into card variants, Hasbro has changed the Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) card from VC164 (first release) to VC150. We have received reports that both card versions are showing up at Target. The ones I found tonight were all VC164.

Be sure to check your local stores for this new wave as we have been receiving reports from our readers finding it from various Target Store locations from Coast to Coast the past few days.

Last night I was surfing Walmart.com for Star Wars Products and noticed in their search results that they listed the Galaxy Of Adventures 5-Inch Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) figure as available for next day delivery to my Houston Texas area, but it did not allow me to add it to my cart, reason being is the "next day delivery " slider / button was not turned on. Also I spot checked other zip codes and its not available to order in all areas, but here is the workaround.

  1. Follow this search result.
  2. Enter zip code 77001 to "Delivering to" option.
  3. Change "next day delivery" button / slider to on.
  4. Add to cart
  5. login and ship to your address.

Thats it. I ordered these yesterday evening and they are suppose to arrive today.

Walgreens.com has their Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Clone Commander Obi-Wan in stock as of this post, but there is a trick to order it. For some reason you have to be signed in and you can't add it to your cart from the product page, but you can add it to your cart from the product search page, just follow this link and add it to your cart from the search results. Price is $19.99 each, I just placed a order at 9:17am CDT for 3 of them.

Also per our Walgreens contact and as we first reported back in September these are still suppose to arrive at local Walgreens stores around October 26th (subject to change), even though the product page stats "not sold in stores." But to be safe you may want to place a online order.

Update: Looks like they fixed the product page and it can now be added to your cart from there. Still in stock as of 9:46am CDT.

Update 2: Sold out at about 10:20am CDT, but check the product page once in a while as they may pop back in stock.

Last week my local Texas Walmarts implemented a new Star Wars Planogram in the Toy department, but didn't have any product to fill the empty pegs and shelve space. Stopped by today and everything was fully stocked. Was kind of surprised to see they actually restocked the Black Series 6-Inch First Edition figures, since they sold out back on Triple Force Friday.

Was trying to get a picture of the fully stocked planogram, but a known scalper was coming down the aisle, so had to grab what I needed and put it in my cart, thats why I took the second photo from home.

We would like to thank Hasbro and Litzky for these products. We will start to photograph these new products and get them added to our HD Photo Gallery soon.

Just a heads up, per my AMC APP, you can preorder tickets to see The Rise of Skywalker starting at 7pm CDT. I assume all other theaters chains will begin their preorders as well.

A lot of our readers have been asking if there were any changes between the first run and newly re-released Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Imperial Shock Trooper being sold at Game Stop (Formerly Walmart Exclusive) and the Clone Commander Gree (Formerly Toys R Us Exclusive) that Entertainment Earth has just begun to ship.

So I dug up my first releases of both figures and compared them to the newly re-released figures I just received this week and there is no changes to the figures or the packaging at all.

If you missed out on these figures its a good time to get them. As we first reported the Imperial Shock Trooper is being sold at Game Stop Stores and the Clone Commander Gree figure is in stock and ready to ship at Entertainment Earth, here is the direct link.

Was just surfing Walmart.com and noticed that their Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) Product Page has finally gone live this early AM. As of this post it is not in stock and they are not taking preorders. But hopefully that will change soon.

Remember you heard it here first!

As we mentioned yesterday The first card version of The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch VC155: Knight Of Ren had warning stickers on the front and back of the cards and we assumed that Hasbro would correct this in the future. Well today I found the printed Warning Cards at Target. You can view all the variations on the figures page.

We know most people don't care about these card changes, but we post them for those that do.

As we reported back on 10/8, Game Stop stores were to receive Walmarts previous Exclusive The Black Series 6-Inch Imperial Shock Trooper to sell this week. I stopped by my local Houston store today and they just received them this afternoon. Price is $24.99 and the item number is 203833. Game Stop's Warehouse / Distribution Center is located in Texas so my local Stores tend to receive stuff first. It maybe a day or so before they reach your local stores depending on your location.

I am not sure if there was any changes between the original and re-release figure yet. I have to go through a bunch of boxes to dig up the first release to compare. If there was any changes, I will make a post.

Happy Hunting!!

The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch VC155: Knight of Ren figure has been added to our HD Photo Gallery. Great new looking figure, with lots of articulation. It will be interesting to see this character in The Rise of Skywalker. He kind of reminds me of a Grimm Reaper. This figure includes a Axe Head and Pole.

For those into card variants, the first release of this figure has warning stickers on the front and back of the card. More than likely Hasbro will updated the card with printed warnings in the future.
