New Star Wars Black Series Figures Released in Canada
 
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks to multiple reports we now know that the latest Star Wars Black series of figures has been released in Canada. This wave includes Grand Admiral Thrawn, Hera, Jedi Rey, Kylo Ren, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.

The initial sightings are coming from Walmarts in Ontario

My prediction - We'll see tons of Rey & Kylo Ren around the holidays warming the pegs & shelves. Just a hunch. ;)

^That's a valid prediction!

Because of that, I won't be going out of my way on Force Friday to try and get any of this stuff. I imagine we'll be seeing plenty of it on the shelves soon enough.

There was also an OT Stormtrooper in red box in this wave which I didn't pick up. I think Vader is double packed as I saw a few of those.

In addition to those 6 featured above and the Stormtrooper mentioned by MULTIPLEX there should also be a Finn in Officer's Disguise available. So a total of 8 figures making up the first 2 Waves are the ones I have seen on YouTube that are being released for Force Friday.

Isn't that Vader a decided improvement over previous releases?

Over the Black Series Blue Striped Box version, yes it is.

TRU.ca has some of the new Black Series listed on their site but when you go to order them it takes you to their front page.
They also have an exclusive 2 pack of Ackbar vs First Order Officer for $69.99.

I saw that as well but I hadn't heard anything about Admiral Ackbar or first order officer figures in the six inch scale.

I guess that means we also will see Admiral Ackbar in the movie.

As a side note I saw a bunch of Hot Wheels ships from Last Jedi at Walmart today. I picked up the tie silencer ski speeder and resistance bomber. On the back there is a picture of the AT MC6 however it wasn't there.

What are you talking about?

I picked up Thrawn and Vader today, but left everyone else. Though will probably go back to get Hera later.

The tru here had one case (picked the 7 figures) one walmart had a case and the other had nothing. I ordered the two vehicules on walmart.ca and the guy at ebgames had no clue about potential gamestop exclusives.

I live in St Catharines got up at 830 went to walmart and then another walmart nothing but vaders and no small figs at all......Went to Tru no black series except rey and vader and the small figures were crammed into a hot wheels style bargin bin. All 2 lukes were crushed and no rey........

Adsked emplyee if they had more Black series they said they got 2 cases only.........So assuming theres more then 2 people lined up they couldnt supply a third set for the 3rd person in line......thats garbage im sorry but garbage!

I spoke to the manager at my local TRU about this and its a mistake because as I showed her in the picture the packaging is trilingual, so there is no reason this can't ship to Quebec. She sent an email to the head office asking them to correct this mistake and she wil get back to me on tuesday after labor day with an update. I will keep you guys posted.

Good news
I was thinking about calling them and try to secure one while it is on sale.

I saw both landspeesers at Target and had to pass. These 6" vehicular are bit too big for my collection.

Noticed the site is having problems. Ordered the TIE Silencer($56 on sale) and the 7 packs, says I ordered them but doesn't put through the transaction. Hope it doesn't mean they sold out.

Anyone else notice Hera has not appeared on amazon.ca yet? Its only extra strange to me because ALL figures including Thrawn have been in full stock since launch! Hera has not appeared which then leads me to believe all the other figures may have received solid cases and that means Hera is only in the assorted cases??? Meaning only Walmart............I really hope this isnt the case, shes the only one im missing and the one I wanted the most as I have the SDCC Thrawn....

I got my Hera at TRU Friday morning and they had about 3 cases of all of Wave#1 so maybe Amazon just has a different case assortment or sold out really fast ?

Re: New Star Wars Black Series Figures Released in Canada
 
Nah I refuse to believe that hera sold out before thrawn in less then 2 minutes, as I was on there within like a minute of amazon stuff going up.....

This problem has been fixed and it can now be shipped to Quebec.

It is still listed on the website i wonder if the backorder email i got is because it is actually a preorder.
