Title: HasbroPulse Exclusive Black Series 6" The Armorer
Post by: Dave on October 22, 2020, 03:34 PM
I got my HasbroPulse The Armorer exclusive today in the mail.  This figure is all kinds of awesome.

It looks like the main differences between the standard release and the exclusive version is a soft goods fur cape (vs. a molded plastic), and four extra accessories for smithing.  The extra accessories are a hot version of the hammer and tongs, a fire blast effect, and a Mandalorian Helmet.  The helmet is cool to have in the tongs, but the other three accessories are just kind of meh.

I would say the soft goods cape alone is probably worth the extra few dollars and looks fantastic.  This is definitely the way.

Is this a Fan Channel exclusive? Does anyone think HTS will ever restock this? Still pissed I missed this on a Friday during work hours and it was only available for a very short time. There was no advance notice about a preorder either.  >:(

I think Hasbro said this would have been the Celebration 2020 exclusive had COVID not cancelled everything.  Hasbro wasn't clear if this was a one and done or if this (or the "EU Convention" Cad Bane or the "SDCC 2020" Endor Heroes set) would be restocked at some point.

Thanks Jeff, will just have to hope for the best I guess.

I got this too.  And it's a really well done figure!  I would have love to see a forge base station, too.  Something like the table that came with the SDCC exclusive Obi-Wan Kenobi.  But that probably would have raised the price on this set quite a bit.

Does anyone have one of these they will sell me? I am literally begging. Pulse put these back up today and I had it in my cart and it disappeared in less than a minute. This is literally the only Black Series figure I have never been able to get and I feel cruelly misled that this was going to be a Fan Channel exclusive like the Skywalker Strikes set.  >:(

I hear you... I was lucky and was able to get one of these when they went up for order originally. The one I missed was the Cad Bane w/TODO - missing out on that one really upsets me, cause I would much rather have the version that comes with the little droid than the regular release version I already have.  >:(

I finally broke down and paid double for this @#$& thing on eBay, hated doing it but I have lost hope of this showing up anywhere else at this point.

Trying to fill the last few gaps in my collection in this current lull...

I did the same thing with Cad Bane and Todo, although it may have been closer to triple...

So I might wind up vacationing in northern NY this summer.  And in the event that the US / Canada border re-opens for tourism, I was thinking of taking a day trip to Montreal, where they still have TOYS R US stores!  It led me to search out some store reports from TRU in Canada, and I came across this:  the exclusive version of the Armorer in decent quantities (https://youtu.be/Ow5sz3SlN7U?t=257).  It makes me wonder what else might be on the shelves of Canadian TRU stores...

Yeah, when I bought mine off eBay it turned out to be the Canadian boxed version, so they must be more in circulation up there.
