Time to play catch up and post the 6" reveals from today...
Black Series 6" Pre-Orders for 5/5 at 1pm ET:
Gaming Greats 6" Flametrooper (Jedi Fallen Order) - Gamestop exclusive
Gaming Greats 6" Nightbrother Warrior (Jedi Fallen Order) - Gamestop exclusive
Bad Batch 6" Imperial Clone Shocktrooper - Walmart exclusive
Bad Batch 6" Vice-Admiral Rampart - Walmart exclusive
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 :-X
-
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
-
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! :D
At least I know I will be able to find the GameStop figures.
-
Anybody finding any of these 6" figures available? Its 18 minutes past launch time and nothing on Walmart or GameStop.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I may balk at some of these at that price but not these two. They're too different.
-
I like the Nightbrother because he seems like an all new figure.
The Flametrooper just feels like a Snowtrooper with a different gun.
-
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.

Admiral Rampart just came in stock.

Was just able to secure a Rampart preorder. Kind of annoying I had to preorder both separately, but oh well. Hopefully none of the orders get canceled.
-
Yeah the price was rough all over for these new exclusives, but I prefer complaining about that to complaining about how they sold out in 5 seconds. I was lucky enough to get all four with relatively little hassle, outside of a lot of refreshing on Rampart. :)
-
McMetal nailed it for me. I'll take complaining about over priced successful pre orders over being 32 seconds too late for Fett.
-
Does anyone know if they are doing a separate "theme" sub-line for Jedi Fallen Order - are all all of the video game based figures going to be in a "Gaming Greats" themed Phase 4 packaging theme?
-
That's a good question. Since the transition to the new packaging the only video game figures have been from Jedi - Fallen Order. I suppose if there's a character from another video game title we'll find out for sure.
-
I saw reports on social media that preorders for the Gaming Greats Nightbrother Warrior were being canceled by GameStop. I just checked my account and sure enough my order was canceled, too.

Have any of these shipped out to people? Did they get a smaller number than expected, or none of these?
This order has been a mess for me. Half was fulfilled months ago and then my credit card expired and GameStop wasn't able to change my credit card so I had to cancel the other half of the order that included the Nightbrother and place a new order. So I'm sure I went from the front of the queue to the back of the queue if there are limited quantities, although my order hasn't been cancelled.
This is actually one of the few Gaming Greats figures I'm excited about because of how different it is.
-
I felt the same way about the Nightbrother Warrior - at last, something different! But the more arduous these Black Series exclusives are to get, the more I don't feel like putting in the effort to get them.
If I happen to see it in a GameStop store I will probably buy it. I have some confidence that it will because I've been seeing Zaalbar, the Rocket Trooper and the Flametrooper in stores.
-
Aw man, I just checked and this is no longer showing up in my Order History either. Thanks for letting me know, GameStop. ::)
They had just sent me a notice about this a couple of weeks ago to verify my payment too. Damn, I really wanted this guy.

My order is a mess as well. I ordered six BS figures in this order, including the Nightbrother, Armorer, Jump Trooper, 501st, Carbonized Greef, and Archive Leia. Greef and Leia arrived separately, but I'm still waiting on the other four with no news or timing on any of them. There is no indication my order is cancelled or that they can't fulfill the Nightbrother, but I'm obviously getting concerned with so many people getting cancellations. Anyone else still have one on order that has NOT been cancelled? I'd be curious to know if they started cancellations with single figure orders, as those would be easier to cancel and refund than breaking apart orders for multiple figures like mine.
-
I posted about the Nightbrother being inexplicably canceled on Instagram. Gamestop actually reached out to me about it on IG. Let's see where this goes.
-
Well, I guess because this all wasn’t vexing enough, GameStop sent me yet another email overnight telling me my “preorder is almost ready”. ::)
When I click the link I can see the Nightbrother listed but it still says canceled. ???
-
Mine remains canceled. But GameStop gave me 15,000 rewards points to make me go away.

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

Bad Batch Shock Trooper is back on stock now! I just got 2 for $26.48 each with Free Shipping! ;D

Any idea what is with the $26.48 price? I grabbed this and Rampart to get the free shipping, but $55 for two regular BS figures? Weren't we all just complaining about the price hike to $23 like a week ago?
-
Yeah, I’ve noticed a lot of inconsistent pricing lately, even with figures in the same wave.
This particular one didn’t bother me so much since they botched my initial preorder.
-
What's weirder is that the Rex and Crosshair exclusives were both priced around $32 ???
