Star Wars Black Series discussion

Which is why it's just best to be patient and wait for the best version.

I doubt the wait will be long. They are knocking out new Mando toys like a dealer putting out crack.

For the life of me can't understand how Walmart can make sure they are loaded with Venomized Captain America at multiple stores yet their own store exclusives (CW Black series figures) are extremely elusive and scarce. Wtf.

Just received my Heavy Infantry Mandalorian from Best Buy. Came shipped in a bubble mailer but the card is perfect. I guess BB heard all the complaints but I would have preferred a box.

The irony being that Venomized Cap is a Walmart exclusive.
That and my stores have all restocked Ashoka and Loyalist like crazy. It would be nice to see Mauldalorian and 332nd Trooper again though.

Damn you're lucky. My Walmart's in my area haven't restocked Ahsoka. I really wish they would, but I have zero faith they will. Been to so many WM's this week and nothing. I only ever saw 332nd Troops in the wild. Ahsoka and the others I don't think even hit pegs before getting cleaned out. Wait, Venom Cap is exclusive? Wow you're right, that makes it sting even more. Looks like he'll be a peg warmer. I don't understand why Walmart overstocks peg warmers and not the in demand Star Wars exclusives. Blows my mind.

They don't, Venomized Cap is not in demand like Ahsoka and the troops. Scalpers aren't going to make money off flipping Cap so there is no rush to get him and clear him out.

Walmart probably has as much stock of Cap as they do of Ahsoka and the troops, but people aren't freaking out about getting Cap like they are about Ahsoka and the troops.

Even if that is the case, Walmart is still absolutely stupid. They could overstock The 3 army builder exclusives and Ahsoka and STILL sell them all without much of a problem. There's that much demand for these figures. If a product is that hot, it's stupid to not meet the demand.

Sorry I do not have a picture of it, but I did pick up the Black Series 6 inch Incinerator Trooper at Toys R Us today.

It was the only one I saw on the shelves, but it is out now!

I literally said the exact same thing. It makes zero sense. My walmart got 12 ahsokas in stock. I was there right at 7am. I grabbed 2 and within a matter of seconds they were all gone.. any business with sense would say "holly crap we sold out within less then 5 minutes of opening.. Lets order 30" lol.. and thats the ahoska.. the troopers and mandos are all army builders.. i myself bought three troopers.. that was half of my walmarts stock.. its insane if they don't restock... you'd think an exclusive would be something you stock more of because people can't buy it anywhere else.. if every retailer would stock 6 per store and they would all sell out.. you should be stocking 24 when its exclusive.. the point is to bring people to you.. i honestly don't understand it and don't get me started on the wave that has the beskar mando in it.. 1 per location.. one mando figure per.. location.. wow.. Really? currently the most popular star wars thing going on and all we get is one per location.. ok thanks walmart.. lol
