Pipeline Reveals (pre-order coming at a later date)
Bad Batch 6" Omega


editors note: no screen captures for these yet because I honestly just can't get that excited about the 6" stuff anymore and prioritized the TVC stuff

Shockingly small amount of 6 inch stuff revealed, IMO, but I guess it's cool? Hard to get excited about Bad Batch stuff before I've even seen the show.

Walmart exclusives... gah

[Nicklab]

These reveals were definitely a little different from what we're accustomed to seeing.

The JFO Flametrooper seems reminiscent of a McQuarrie Snowtrooper.  The Nightbrother is a little surprising.  And if this wasn't a Gaming Greats release I would be wondering why we haven't gotten Savage Opress or a Clone Wars Maul in the Black Series first.  Still, in the packaging for the Nightbrother someone spotted a rather shaggy looking shoulder of another character, presumably from Jedi Fallen Order.  There are at least a couple of Wookiees in JFO, and perhaps this is a hint that one of them is on the way.

I'm also not surprised that there are more Bad Batch reveals.  The new Imperial Clone Shocktrooper looks good.  They were saying during the livestream that it's been built on the new Clone Trooper body.

I can’t wait to try preordering the two Walmart exclusives tomorrow! 

At least I know I will be able to find the GameStop figures.

[Dave]

Anybody finding any of these 6" figures available?  Its 18 minutes past launch time and nothing on Walmart or GameStop.

[Diddly]

Only things I've seen available for preorder are the TVC Offworld Jawa and ARC Trooper. Nothing for 6 inch Black Series.

I've seen the Clone Trooper up on Walmart.  Rampart is probably still waiting to be put up.

Clone Trooper page takes me to a "THIS ITEM IS SOLD OUT" page

I managed to get orders in for the TVC figures from Walmart as well as from Amazon.  I got an order in for the Black Series Shocktrooper, but Vice Admiral Rampart remains out of stock.  And I haven’t seen any of the GameStop exclusives listed yet. 

[Nicklab]

The GameStop exclusives are up now.  But the price for each one is now $26.99

[Dave]

The GameStop exclusives are up now.  But the price for each one is now $26.99

Plus $6 shipping...  So basically $33 a figure.  Ouch.  I may have to rethink getting these GameStop exclusives.

[GrandMoffNick]

I may balk at some of these at that price but not these two. They're too different.

[Dave]

I like the Nightbrother because he seems like an all new figure. 

The Flametrooper just feels like a Snowtrooper with a different gun.

[Dave]

Did anybody manage to get Admiral Rampart?

I haven't seen him go up for order.  I was able to order him a few days ago using Jayson's secret link, but Walmart just cancelled that order.

I'm going to preorder in-store. Cuts down on a few of those costs at least. Might be Gamestop's way of driving more traffic to the stores.

Not yet. I was able to get a Shocktrooper Commander though.
