FINALLY picked up the Clone Wars Obi-Wan Walgreens figure last night! Also had some points to spend and got it for a great price in the end. Really happy with how it looks.
Debating on getting the Episode 2 Obi-Wan that they announced when it drops and popping the scan on to give it that animated Clone Wars (2003) look.

Now forgive my lack of knowledge but these ARE just regular Black Series figs with specialty packaging right?

Dagobah Luke, Snowspeeder Luke and Hoth Rebel Trooper are brand new and never released before. Bespin Luke has an updated head. Not sure of the rest, because they haven’t been revealed yet.

FINALLY picked up Carbonized Mandalorian at Target on my lunch break today after passing on it when it first came out. I'm glad to get it and not have to pay outrageous prices on Ebay for it.

New to the Star Wars collecting - will these all be released at the typical retailers - Amazon, Target, Walmart?

Yes, Yakface stated these are the regular line figures, not any exclusives. Especially since they found the product codes on WalMarts app.

Both Wal-Mart stores in my area have nothing in their Star Wars section. Not even pegs. Just empty space. When I asked an employee, she said anything they have left is in the clearance section.

My Walmart is clearancing out all of the Galaxy Adventure stuff. They had a few of the gold 3 and 3/4 figures and about a dozen of the 12" figures on clearance as well. I guess we're all holding our breath until ToyFair to see if Hasbro renews the license? Dark times for Star Wars at retail.

Darth Vadar was in his N.H. packaging for esb. Maybe they will create new packaging.

I bought 3.75" Mando and Cara from Walmart this morning. I haven't had the chance to open them, but they do look nice.

Anyone pull the trigger on the Zorii Bliss now that she has the eyes under the visor? I almost did but saw she is 2 per case. So I think I'm going to wait it out and see if she ends up cheap on Amazon. The character really didn't leave much of an impression on me but I like me some Keri Russell.

I'm looking to get the power of the force figures as new in box they're a decent price and looking for figures for my kids to play. Since I'm gonna open them (as dont want already played with and beat up figures hence getting new in box) these seem like the best option
I believe they're from the 90s? I had some Kenner figures as a kid but not collected Star Wars figures for years (bar the playskool ones when my kids were younger)
Are the power of the force figures generally decent quality, ok articulation for play (fit nicely in the vehicles / ships etc)
Thanks

Picked up the 3.75” Mandalorian and Cara Dune from Walmart today. They were two each in a case, and they had two cases.

Honestly, most of the basic figures should only be $3-$5. Try flea markets, garage sales or comic book shops. A lot of people (myself included) bought these & stored them away thinking they would be worth hundreds in the future. Turns out that wasn't the case.

Yak face is reporting carbonized is continuing with Boba Fett coming next. Also a 6” scale snow speeder with Dak. They’ve pretty much always been right with the rumors I’ve seen before...I’d buy the hell outta both...

I don't have any interest in those carbonized figures unless they do Beskar Mando and it looks screen accurate. Boba's armor was matte. So I'm out on that one. Essentially, if the paint job makes it look more movie/tv accurate I'll get it, but if it's just a color variant that has nothing to do with anything, then not for me.
Dak and Snowspeeder on the other hand... that's incredible. I absolutely can not wait for that one. I've been hoping for more of that kind of thing from them. Han and the Tauntaun and the Speeder Bike set are still probably my favorite things they've done in the Black Series. I really want a 6" scale Slave I. I don't care if it has to be HasLab or what.

all of the ESB 40th stuff is on Pulse, went a little crazy and got Snowspeeder Luke, Bespin Luke, Lando, Bespin Han, 2 Hoth Troopers (may get 1 more), Imperial Probe Droid, and the piece I'll probably regret most... the full scale Snow Speeder with Dak. I could already see the clearance price on the Speeder as I pressed COMPLETE ORDER. I'm sure I'll regret it.
THANK GOD Pulse charges when it arrives, gives me some time to save.
