I grabbed the lone figure at Target today, Archive Thrawn. I was surprised they allowed me to buy it.

That wave was released a while ago.  From what I’ve been reading it looks like the next wave of Black Series Archive figures are register locked until April 1st.

Yep, this particular Target is one of the "unfriendly to collectors" Targets, and refused to sell me the Archive wave a few weeks back when I tried to buy them. All of the archive figures are street dated April 1, for whatever reason. Guess it depends on the Target, or a lot of luck.

Was just able to preorder one of each figure on Hasbro Pulse.

I need all of these. Hopefully they don't sell out too quick. Do we know what sites will have these for preorder?

I had the rerelease of Commander Gree on preorder for... who knows how long at this point, from BBTS. The preorder was processed last week, and the Gree figure arrived yesterday.

Now I just need to snag the handful of figures I missed originally, then I can be done with the red/black Black Series line.

I was lucky enough to get a preorder in on Pulse, which was shocking since I was in the legit middle of nowhere on coffee shop WiFi. Right place right time I guess.

I did exactly this a few months ago. I had debated getting rid of either Hasbro figures or LEGO for a good 2-3 years, and ultimately decided to sell the LEGO since it was taking up so much more space. It didn't help that the last 5 or so years of LEGO releases have been pretty boring; the same rehashed ships and speeders, all built mostly the same way with nothing really new or innovative in the designs.

I started selling off all of my boxed stuff a few months ago, and made a pretty penny; enough to fund an experimental treatment for an illness diagnosed cat I adopted (something called FIP which is basically a cat version of Covid). However, while moving last year, I had to open about half of my collection to save space and fit everything into two storage bins. I left the pieces in their sealed bags, but I'm now having to go through and sort everything out, find instructions and sticker sheets, match it all together... it's a mess!

I've sold everything via Craigslist. I was lucky enough to find a guy who operates an online LEGO store, and he buys stuff in bulk. There's likely something similar in your area; just have to have a bit of patience. Know that people are always looking for bargains, so I had to sell a lot of stuff for far less than it was worth, but still far more than what I paid.

I am keeping a few select sets, like the 1960s Batcave and my UCS Slave I. My dream is to eventually sell everything I want to off, and then get the $800 UCS Millennium Falcon and display that with the Slave I.
