Jayson has the rumor/scoop (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2020/09/29/rumor-report-update-tbs-mandalorian-build-up-pack-contents/).
$35 price point
*possibly* a Target Exclusive
The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor)
The Child
+ whole bunch of accesories
-
Love it. Different enough figure if removable helmet is true and the accessories are great. The Target exclusive kinda sucks if true
-
if removable helmet is true...
I had to laugh when I read a comment on Yakface I believe saying "This is not the way!"
-
Link to Target.com (https://www.target.com/p/star-wars-the-black-series-din-djarin-the-mandalorian-and-the-child/-/A-80173140) - pre-order goes live later today!
$35.

Is this the same thing as the Mandalorian "build up pack" that Jayson/Yakface has been talking about?

Yes - the 6" is at Target, the 3.75" is at Walmart.

As someone who has both the Black Series Mando, SH Figuarts Mando, and Black Series Beskar Mando, SH Figuarts Beskar Mando, and MAFEX Beskar Mando on preorder, this is kind of a tough sell for me. I guess the main draw for me would be the removable helmet and the Beskar credits, but is that worth paying $35 for?
Oh who am I kidding, I'll definitely get this one, but I might hold out for some $5 off deal or something. Not going to be too shaken up if I miss out.
-
This and the Walmart one all pre-sold out in seconds...
I'm confident I'll be able to track down the Target one when it hits retail, but have no confidence in finding the Walmart one.
-
As soon as I saw “Target” I knew only scalper bots would be getting these. Sold out in 5 seconds as expected. They really are the worst.
By contrast, I was easily able to place a preorder at Amazon without having a stroke checking out.
-
While I often fail on getting pre-orders in for Target, I've never had a problem tracking down the product later either in the store or on-line. Maybe living near Target's HQ makes it easier for me. If people ever need to track these down after they're released in store, just post here as we've got quite a few people in the Minneapolis area that can help find what you're looking for.
I'm annoyed I didn't get a pre-order, but with a reasonable amount of work I should be able to track this down in the store.
-
I also think Target is very cognizant of driving in store traffic. Look at CC Cara Dune. Pre order was gone instantly and now she's all over in stores. I'm not saying I love the idea but I think that's their philosophy.

Agreed. I din't think the Target one will be difficult to find at all. And frankly I think the face sculpt looks really odd. Walmart always seems harder for me, so glad to have that one locked up. It actually went up for pre-order a few days ago, but didn't have a picture or description.
-
A guy on Reddit claims all Targets will get "at least" 12 of these on December 1, but take that with a grain of salt. I'm not too worried about finding one. The hardest big box/deluxe Target exclusive to find was the Gamorrean Guard, and even that showed up en masse after like 6 weeks

I did a store inventory check when Cara was released in my area and every store had 6 or 12 that morning. Would not be at all surprised to see multiple cases per store with Season 2 coming out and Christmas just around the corner.
-
This is back in stock on Target.com. I placed an order for delivery next week.
Brickseek shows these are in stock at all my local Targets as well.
Good luck to all who didn't get pre-orders.

I stayed up til 1:30am waiting for this to go live at Target.com so I could order one for In Store Pickup. I did the same thing the other night with the Remnant Stormtrooper and it worked great, so I was not anticipating any problems.
Both the stores near me were unavailable for pickup for some reason but I was able to find one across town which I ordered immediately. So I went to bed happy, but when I woke up I had a cancellation notice in my Inbox saying the item was no longer available. ::)
Checked Popfindr and found 2 stores still showing stock. The first one had none out and when I tried to have someone look it up they couldn’t find them either. The second store had none out either but showed 3 in stock so I asked a red shirt for help and they couldn’t find one either, so I had them page the guy working in electronics which took forever because he was on break and finally he let them know he had one left stashed behind the desk, which I was able to purchase. >:(
The whole thing took like a half an hour though, it was brutal. By the end I didn’t even feel happy to have it, all I could think about was what a pain in the ass this hobby has become. I really need to re-assess things at this point if this is going to be “the way” going forward...
-
Got mine easy with store pick up option.
To each their own on how they feel about the hobby. And I'm not saying things haven't changed over the 25 years since SW toys hit stores again, but I feel there's this made up era of collecting where people just went to retail store A or B and found all the toys they wanted whenever they had the time. I've always had to hunt everything.
-
I get where you're coming from on that front. The landscape of collecting has definitely changed dramatically over the modern era of collecting.
There are definitely positives - online stores, retail apps, inventory checkers, etc. And merchandise pickup has made things more convenient.
Negatives? Lower demand in the post Prequel / Clone Wars era has led to lower quantities of product. There are also fewer brick & mortar retailer options (Numerous chains folded). And the remaining retailers manage their inventory much more shrewdly. Plus, there's now a collecting echo chamber on social media that has only served to focus some of the discontent.

I also was up until 1:30am and I was able to order two for delivery using my Target RedCard.
I also went to my local store that (was not offered as an option for pick-up) but did have them in stock and had them out when I got to the store at 8am.
If anyone was shut out on this, I still have the two orders that are supposed to be shipped to me next week, I would be happy to pass them for cost + shipping should anyone want them. Let me know...

I’ll take one.

You got it! I'll DM you when the order arrives so we can work things out. If you find one in the interim, no big deal, I can just take it back to the store if no one else wants it.

Finally got my deluxe pack today after ordering it in the wee hours of the 1st. Usually Target isn't this weird about shipping. They must be taking a page out of EE's book on how to do shipping. :P
The shipping actually wasn't that bad once it got rolling, but it took them 10+ days to get it out of their warehouse and in to the UPS/USPS system.

If you're still missing this figure, it is available once again at Target.com this morning - https://www.target.com/p/star-wars-the-black-series-din-djarin-the-mandalorian-and-the-child/-/A-80173140

That was random! Got my order in though. We'll see if it actually arrives next week.
