Title: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Jeff on June 17, 2021, 10:30 AM
Bracca Captain Rex and Crosshair.  Walmart Exclusive.  Not sure on pre-order time/date.

Press pics are out there now, too swamped at work to get them posted here, sorry :(

One of the main characters from the series, and a highly popular character that most people weren't able to get the original version of, and both are exclusive... to Walmart?

???

I groaned when I saw that these were Walmart exclusives.  But I know that these are going to be where I focus my efforts tomorrow when the preorders go live.

Yakface is saying these go live at 1PM ET on Friday the 18th.

Walmart - Crosshair (Imperial) (http://www.walmart.com/ip/SW-FIGURE/329743958)

Walmart - Rex (Bad Batch) (http://www.walmart.com/ip/SW-FIGURE/316132966)

I found a way to deal with some of these Walmart preorders when the most recent Walmart exclusive TVC figures went up.  The best way is if you use the Walmart app.

Open each of these links.  That should launch the app.  Add these figures to a list in the app.  Refresh the list and it should show you in stock status, and I found it to be a much easier way to get them into the shopping cart and checked out.

The thing that appears to be problematic with most of these preorders is when so many people flood an individual product page, the traffic slows it down.  But having the shortcut in your list seems to worth a bit more smoothly.

Why is Rex $30 and Crosshairs is $25?

Because people will pay it?  :P

The listings are changing.  Stand by.

EDIT - Links are live.  Got both.

Did these disappear in under a minute?  I can't find them anymore.

Crosshair is but is $39??

They jerked Rex out of my cart while I was checking out not once, but twice. So frustrating. I got everything else today without any problems but him. Probably the one figure I wanted most too, really wish they would get their act together on these preorders.

I had it in cart and then out at least 10 times. Now to play guess when Walgreens goes active

Post by: Dave on June 18, 2021, 10:28 PM
Same.  Got Crosshairs, but mashing the reload key with Rex in the cart only got me about 73 denials.

Hopefully more pop up in the next few days.

Post by: Nicklab on June 19, 2021, 10:54 AM
I really think using the list in the Walmart app is what made it work for me.  I just kept refreshing that, and saw the names and product images changing.  It was the best indicator of when they would show up in stock instead of camping out on the individual product pages in a browser.

I was also a little shocked to see Jayson share that exact same method on the Yakface IG page after this all happened.

Post by: Diddly on June 19, 2021, 12:20 PM
Missed out on both since I was working outdoors. I know the others have popped up online on occasion so I'm not TOO worried yet.

Just got an email from Walmart pushing out the delivery date of Crosshairs.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on August 26, 2021, 09:41 AM
The email I got from Walmart seemed to indicate that Imperial Crosshair and BB Rex were both delayed. 

Beyond that?  I was encouraged to see that the Shocktroopers are on the West coast.  No indication if Vice Admiral Rampart is en route, though.  And the next Walmart exclusive TVC wave?  Who knows?
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on September 3, 2021, 05:14 PM
I checked my Walmart orders to see if there had been any updates on Vice Admiral Rampart or the Imperial Clone Shocktrooper.  The status still shows them arriving today, but there’s been no order processing at all. I imagine the emails with revised delivery dates will make their way out soon. 
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: GrandMoffNick on September 3, 2021, 06:06 PM
I got an email about Rampart this week going to 10/27 I think.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on October 26, 2021, 07:02 PM
I was looking through my tracking apps and something appears to be on the way from Walmart.  The only thing I can think of that might be due soon is Vice Admiral Rampart and the Shock Trooper.  But the Walmart app isn’t showing any change in the status of any of my orders.

I got shipping notices today for Admiral Rampart and the Imperial Clone Shock Trooper.

I got shipping notices today for Admiral Rampart and the Imperial Clone Shock Trooper.

Me too! I also got a shipping notice for a third “mystery” figure that I have no clue about. Maybe the TCW Grievous or Mace Windu? I missed out on Rex and the ARC Trooper so I know it isn’t either of those. I guess we’ll see!
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on October 28, 2021, 04:23 PM
The first of my two Imperial Clone Shock Troopers arrived today.  It looks really good, but I’m not sure if the t visor on the helmet is accurately sized.

I’m still waiting on shipping notifications on Rampart, Rex and Imperial Crosshair.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Dave on October 28, 2021, 08:21 PM
And just got a shipping notice for crosshair. 

I never managed to get Rex preordered so I’m hoping those make it to retail or back to the web soon.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: McMetal on October 30, 2021, 01:15 PM
I got Crosshair and Rampart, and they are both fantastic, but my Shock Trooper seems to be MIA right now. Got a shipping notice but the delivery date was supposed to be 2 days ago and the tracking # just says Pending Status now.  :-\

I echo the sentiment of hoping these show up in stores. I’m not sure Rex is ever going to come back in stock online. Hoping they do a dedicated display like they did with the Clone Wars figs.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on October 30, 2021, 01:24 PM
I got both of my Shock Troopers, Crosshair, and Captain Rex.  But I’m still waiting for Rampart.

Post by: Dave on November 1, 2021, 01:28 PM
Has anyone spotted these at stores? 

I managed to pre-order most, but I'm still trying to track down a Captain Rex.  I don't live all that close to a Wal-Mart so I don't want to start making stops until these have been sighted.

I can only ever find figures period at small town Walmarts... and those are typically just Greef or Kuill.

My Rampart and Shocktrooper arrived the other day, but I missed Rex and Crosshair. I have the "regular" versions of each, so not sure how much time I want to spend tracking down these exclusive versions...

Word on the street is Walmart will have an exclusive shipper of all four figures hitting the floor for Black Friday this year.  :)

That would be nice.  It doesn't appear there are nearly enough of virtually all exclusives these days. 
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: Nicklab on November 8, 2021, 01:34 PM
My order for Vice Admiral Rampart has been DELAYED since I don't know when.  I originally placed that order back in May.  While I got the two Shock Troopers that were listed and ordered that same day, there were no signs of the status of the order changing. 

For laughs I went looking on the Walmart app for Rampart - sure enough the Rampart figure was in stock.  I placed an order, and the status of the new order said that it would be delivered tomorrow (leading to me canceling the original order).  It's just unreal how bad Walmart is at managing these orders.

Where is Rex or the Shock Trooper??

Walmart really is wack.

Walmart really is wack.

I’ve heard about more people placing new orders when their older orders just lingered in some online retail netherworld.  That’s why I tried ordering another Rampart.

Rex has been in and out of stock this afternoon. Finally successfully ordered one.

Thanks for the tip Nick.  I managed to score one too after mashing the reload button hundreds of times!

I’m late to the party apparently but I was lucky enough to score a Rex too! Super relieved about that. Hopefully I get a second crack at the ARC Trooper too.

Forgot to post this last week but I saw a bunch of figures at Rose’s of all places, but it was literally like 10 Dryden Vos, Holdo, and Zorii Bliss. $7.99 each if I recall correctly.
Title: Re: Walmart Black Series 6" Bad Batch Exclusives
Post by: McMetal on November 14, 2021, 07:59 PM
Damn, this is a first!

My order with Rex showed up today and instead of one, they sent me FIVE!  :o

Guess that makes up for my missing Shocktrooper, but I’ve never had a mistake like that work in my favor before.

You, uh, going to sell any of those extras, McMetal? ;)

No doubt, I def don’t need five!

I wouldn’t mind trading one for a Shocktrooper or something either.

Apparently Walmart is shipping these all to me in individual bubble mailers, got 3 yesterday and 1 the day before. Just waiting on Ricka now.  :D

Luckily they all arrived in good shape but one nice big box sure would have been preferable.

Post by: McMetal on October 1, 2023, 04:29 PM
Was surprised to find all of these at my local Walmart today, along with Jesse and Fives. I was especially psyched to see Fives because he sold out before I could preorder him and has never come back into stock since then. (Have the page bookmarked and been checking daily) so he was an instant buy for me. Was nice to see they had multiples of each too.

No sign of any new TVC though, so still hoping Havoc shows up in store someplace.
