6" Zuckuss - ~~TRU exclusive~~

In July 2018, Hasbro announced this would be a Disney Store exclusive in the USA, TRU exclusive in Canada.

Post by: GrandMoffNick on February 19, 2018, 03:32 PM: Definitely like when exclusives are Troopers. Not amazing OT character sculpts. Save these for mass release

Post by: Diddly on February 19, 2018, 10:18 PM: I wonder if this is exclusive due to "tooling costs" or whatever else they said about Gree

TRU exclusives are always hit or miss for me. Sometimes I see dozens of them, but other stuff like the 4 inch Rancor box, Astromech 3 pack, Marvel Legends Spidey/Mary Jane and ML Phoenix/Cyclops I have never seen in person

Post by: Darth_Anton on February 24, 2018, 12:13 PM: I've been good with TRU exclusives. Still easier to find than WM Exclusives by a long, long, long, long shot.
Title: Re: Toys R Us Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Nicklab on March 9, 2018, 07:05 AM: In light of the news of TRU's possible demise, just what is going to become of this exclusive?

And even more notable? We saw a lot of images posted by Yakface yesterday, including some of the exclusive. But not Zuckuss...

Post by: P-Siddy on March 9, 2018, 08:52 AM: I’m worried about this as well. Anyone shooting a message Hasbro’s way about a possible Plan B?
Title: Re: Toys R Us Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Darth_Anton on March 17, 2018, 08:23 PM: My guess is that someone else will pick it up. It's just a question of who.

I'm hearing "specialty shop" exclusive.

Like Hot Topics or Barnes and Nobles (though they are having their own issues).

Hasbro Toy Shop would be good.

Is that code for EE or GameStop?
Title: Re: Toys R Us Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Nicklab on March 21, 2018, 07:06 AM: I don't care for the markup at GameStop. But considering that this exclusive was originally slated for a chain that's going out of business? It's not ideal, but I really want to see this figure come out and round out the TESB bounty hunters.

Post by: Jeff on July 19, 2018, 11:06 PM: According to a tweet from SWAN (https://twitter.com/swactionnews/status/1020082210198695936), Hasbro has indicated that 6" Zuckuss' new home is The Disney Store. More details soon, I hope.

Post by: P-Siddy on July 19, 2018, 11:08 PM: Yeah, a date would be awesome... been waiting for this one!

NOOOOOOOO!

Stupid company won't put their stupid store in my stupid city so now I cant buy this stupid exclusive, grr grr grr. >:(

Post by: Nicklab on July 20, 2018, 10:10 AM: I've got a couple of Disney stores that are relatively easy for me to get to. But I get the frustration... I feel the same way about most WalMart exclusives and how poorly those tend to get handled. I know that Commander Wolffe wound up being listed on the Disney online store, so there would likely be that option for Zuckuss, too.

Post by: JediJman on July 20, 2018, 11:22 AM: I'm fine with this, so long as its not one of those "Come get a ticket to purchase this at 10am on Monday, then be back at 2pm for the limited supply" deals like they did with the die cast figures.

News out of SDCC makes it sounds like Disney Store is targeting a November 1st release date. (Gotta generate that holiday shopping traffic!)
Title: Re: Disney Store Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Nicklab on October 28, 2018, 09:37 PM: It looks like the November 1 info might be on point. I stopped at a Disney Store location today and spoke with the manager. He looked up the info on Zuckuss and the other exclusives. It seems like the official date might be Saturday, November 3rd (a flyer for the new Elite Series figures has that date), but he said to check back on November 1st.

Post by: JediJman on November 1, 2018, 04:09 PM: Looks like the 1st it is!
Title: Re: Disney Store Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: P-Siddy on November 1, 2018, 04:26 PM: Apparently not all Disney Stores are carrying these. The nearest one to me (about 5 miles away) told a local collector that they don’t have them and won’t be getting them.
Title: Re: Disney Store Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Phrubruh on November 16, 2018, 10:13 AM: I picked this one up off Shop Disney. I realized I had a ton of Disney gift cards from when I had a Disney visa card. I used the gift cards so it was free.
Title: Re: Disney Store Black Series 6" Zuckuss
Post by: Jeff on January 10, 2019, 11:44 PM: Didn't find him at the Disney Store? Up for pre-order at EE for $24.99 (https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/HSE2818?id=JE-405087801).
