I love Yakface. Their reports are always welcomed and are usually always accurate. Here is a run down of 6” Black Series we can expect within the next year:
Some codes were discovered for Force Friday this year that will include Rise of Skywalker, Mandalorian and Fallen Order.
Hyperreal Luke Skywalker New ROTJ Luke Skywalker Force Ghost Yoda Yavin Luke Skywalker ESB Wedge Antilles Jar Jar Binks Count Dooku - FINALLY! Commander Bly
Plus other codes that haven’t been matched up with names yet. Honestly, I am a bit happy to hear Star Wars movies are taking a break for a few years. Gives the Black Series time to pump out a lot of characters we’ve all been waiting for!

I'm especially hyped for Wedge & Jar Jar. I'd love to have an alternate Jar Jar head with his tongue sticking out.

I’ll grab Dooku and Yavin Luke. Wedge is on the bubble of stuff I’m trying to stay away from with the 6” line. I’d absolutely love him in the Retro line, though. X-Wing flight suit with no helmet or a removable helmet.

I returned the Stormtrooper Luke I bought on Sunday because I didn't like his nose. This has to be the strangest reason I ever had for returning a figure. I never return toys for buyer's remorse, but I think this one was justifiable. I'm still not sure if they're all like this or did I just get a dud.

Got my Escape from the Death Star game with the Grand Moff Tarken figure from Target.
I didn't want to start collecting again, but these Retros look too good to pass up.

Lips are painted super weird as well. I put the helmet on him so I didn’t have to look at it anymore. Pretty disappointing because I like the idea of the figure quite a bit.

Same here (regarding both buying the game/Tarkin set AND collecting the retros)!! Speaking of which, is anyone else hunting the retros? Having any luck? All of the Targets I've visited in my area were cleaned out by the time I got to them on Sunday morning.

I have heard that Wal-Mart & Kohls will be getting them in the near future.

All of the Targets I've visited in my area were cleaned out by the time I got to them on Sunday morning. I bought the GMT and I'll buy anything else we didn't get in the original line. I'm really hoping for Stormtrooper Han now that they've knocked out GMT. Rebel Troopers, Mon Mothma, Dr Evazan, and Wedge all need to happen. Beru and Owen too in some kind of set. I'm dying for Slave Leia. I know Disney apparently said no more but they absolutely need to find an exclusive way to get her to us now that this line exists. Oh, and Yavin Luke, Garindan, Oola and Ewok Village Leia please. I want them all. I'm buying my son the main figures to play with (stress free). I was able to get him Luke, Leia and two Stormtroopers with an online order. Darth Vader was bouncing in and out of stock but that was after I put the order through. So I'm still looking for Han, Chewie and Vader for him. I'm just sticking with the website. I think they'll eventually be available to ship or be available for store pickup. I can't deal with Target anymore with the street date stuff.

I managed to get the Death Star game, but dude told me there was a line on Sunday morning and the Retros were cleaned out. I'm just going to bide my time and wait until Target either restocks, or other stores get them in. I saw this coming and was proven absolutely correct. I always just expect to not be able to get something when I hear the word "Target" in relation to it, and that's really hugging sad.

Last week on the 12th, when everything went out to Target, I stopped at the closest one to me, which was about 25 minutes away. They had everything new for that release day at the electronics table, but I was told by a Target employee that I could choose ONE thing. Being a Black Series collector, I chose the 6” Luke. Fast forward to yesterday, my wife and I had to drive about an hour to a doctors appointment for our baby (4 weeks until he’s born)! The first and best thing about it was the fact that the doctors said he is growing and is doing fantastic. To make it even more of a good day came next. My wife hadn’t been able to find me anything for my birthday which is today, so we stopped at a target near the doctors and I managed to score all 7 Retros at one store! The set of 6 were hanging in the men’s clothes section for a Father’s Day display. Tarkin and the game with the board games.

Very nice news on the baby and happy birthday.
I was going to post a heads up about the men's department display. I heard about the display, but my store didn't have one when I checked today. They did have Tarkin with the board games, and 6" Luke and 3.75" Han on the electronics counter. I don't know why I was somewhat amused at seeing Luke and Han as stormtroopers right next to each other on the counter...but in different scales.

I didn’t even know about the new Stormtrooper Luke until yesterday. lol Three Targets later I still didn’t see one, but I did pick up a 3.75” Han in Stormtrooper disguise at the last store.

I found a Luke at the Target on Cedar Crest Blvd in Allentown, PA today. They had them in 3 different spots in the store. They must have had at least 10, and 15 of the Han/Stormtrooper figure.

I have read the Stormtrooper helmet has been known to squash the nose on this one!

That looks better. I'm pretty sure mine had squished pig nose before I put the helmet on, though.

My figure had the bad nose right out of the package. I might have to give Luke another try. My store had a restock on Sunday, but I really didn't look them over.
