Wow, I was really excited for the Jawa, but the picture is a huge disappointment for me. No soft goods? This thing looks like an oversized POTF2 figure. I'm glad we're finally getting a Jawa, but this is another swing and a miss on the design. Maybe I can make my own custom brown cloak to fit over it. :-\ We have cloth goods for the Tusken, Vader, Luke, Leia, & Ben...but not the Jawa. Unreal.
The Tusken looks a little lame in package as well. Glad to see in the loose photos that his robe goes well beyond just the arms. The mouth piece looks a little goofy to me, but everything else seems pretty solid for this guy and the Death Squad Commander (though I would have preferred his original vintage colors).

Check out rickhor409 on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/rickhor409/m.html?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSXS%3AMESOI&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2654). They offer up some pretty good softgoods for 6" Black Series figures. I've gotten a Jedi cloak for my ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi and another cloak for my ROTJ Luke from them, and they were pretty good. I see they're currently offering up one for Yoda, and a softgoods cloak for Krennic, too. So I expect they might offer up something for this Jawa at some point.

Thanks for the tip. I have a custom cloth cape for prequel Kenobi - can't remember if it was from this guy or not though. Might even be able to scale down that Luke hooded cape if there aren't better options.

Based on all of the Star Wars cloaks and capes I've seen them do, I think it's pretty likely that they'll do the cloak for this Jawa. But then what about the bandoliers? The bandoliers will probably be the tricky part.

For housekeeping purposes, I'm spinning the Wave 2 figures off into their own thread.

I somehow missed the 3PO being rereleased. Glad I spent all that time looking for the Walgreens one. :-\
-
Yeah, remember back to all of us wondering why they would make the OT C-3PO the exclusive and the TFA version the main line version? I guess this is why. :P
-
I hit WM this AM and a couple of guys showed up expecting to find Wave 2, said that the store showed them in stock. One of them ran. Yes, RAN to the SW isle. What an ass. I swear the hot wheels guy who shows up every day and makes sure he's at the SW section before me, before looking for his Hot Wheels, was going to start throwing punches. Asshatery at it's finest. I only gleamed bits of the runners conversation with the store clerks which resulted in essentially "we can't find said stock."
-
I've seen the running and the cart poaching and case pilfering in my day. I thought those days were long behind us. Most of Target's 40th stock went out the backdoor per Brickpicker. Nothing made it to the shelves.
-
How can this wave be in stores already? Maybe I'm more annoyed than I should be because I still haven't seen an R2, but wow. The back of the packaging says June release. And why does it have to be Walmart? Ugh.
-
West Coasters on Reddit have had lots of success finding Wave 2 at Walgreens. It appears this wave is only hitting California and Washington at the moment.

I love that they kept the original Death Squad Commander nameplate.

Lots of pre-orders for Wave 2 going up around the net. If you're going to be buying by the case, please think of your old pal JediDefender and order using our referral link -

Sorry Jeff, I wanted to do it but Dorkside was $5 cheaper.
I feel like the Tusken would have been a better choice since you can't really army build the DSC, but I guess since he is in the Lando wave too that makes the DSC a compelling option as well.
-
Is it still true that we're going to get the new 6" figures (Jawa, Tusken, DSC) from this wave in normal red boxes later?

Yes

To minimize disruption of toy talk, I've spun off the JediDefender sponsorship discussions into their own thread.
Feel free to continue that discussion here (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=24524.0), if you are so inclined.
-
EE is shipping these now
-
Got my shipping notice today too. Wow, that came fast!
-
Does anybody have any insight in to when figures like the Jawa, Tusken Raider, and DSC will be repackaged in a normal box? I want these figures pretty badly, but am willing to wait. My only fear is that Obi-Wan took a year from when he was made available at SDCC to when he was put in a general release. I don't want to wait a year for these figures to be re-released.
-
Tusken Raider should be in Black Series 6" Wave 11 (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=24454.0) (rumored to be going up for pre-order soon).
Jawa and DSCommander will be a while longer, next spring according to some rumor/guestimates.
-
At least three different local Walmarts got this wave in today. I found full cases at two of them and the third was only missing the Raider. Good to see these starting to show up in force (no pun intended) but still curious wth Target's plans with this line are anymore.
I grabbed a handful of Jawas and Sandpeople to complete my army building, so I think I'm officially done with this wave now. :)
-
Does anyone know the Target DCPI numbers for these? Do they have unique numbers for each, or a shared one? I can't find them on the web site at all.
Also, with the rumored screw up on the 6" inventory for Target, does anyone know if that affects the 40th Anniversary figures too, or just the normal assortments?
-
What is the Target inventory screw up? I'm assuming there is something specific wrong versus their general DPCI confusion...
-
JTA had an article about it (http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=20318&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter)
-
The vintage 6" line has its own DPCI, so luckily it is not impacted by the 3953/8009 snafu. Which really isn't even a thing anymore, at least around here.
-
The guy that wrote that is a little off. The DPCI confusion would cause higher counts and limit automatic reordering. However, my understanding of the gray sticker is that the red shirts place these when they come across empty pegs and counts that are off. When you see the gray sticker, that should be an indication that Target is manually reordering more of these and just waiting on delivery (however long that takes). Can anyone else confirm? Maybe I'm not remembering that correctly as I haven't worked there in over a decade...
-
I do find it odd that a lot of the Targets I go to have both end cap space and pegs in the main aisle for 40th Anniversary 6" figures. Both are empty (or filled with other random SW items).
Usually Target is pretty good at planning inventory and especially not having end cap space sitting mostly empty.
I'm not sure what happened to distribution or production on these items, but it doesn't appear that Target got as much as they were expecting.
-
Confusion seems to be the name of the game There is the matter of the markdown that happened on the red & black packaged 6" TBS figures. I benefited from that when I picked up a bargain priced Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader for $10. It would certainly seem that the markdown has to factor into this situation with the new DPCI numbers for new offerings in the red & black packaging. I'm still left wondering how this whole situation may be impacting Target's distribution of the 40AC carded 6" figures.

As far as I am aware your description is correct, as I have had numerous Target employees explain the gray dot to me in the same manner as you stated.
-
Thanks CH. So assuming that's right, Target's distribution issue should be more of a hiccup than a never-ending black hole of 6" wasteland. For those willing and able, it's probably worth a call to your local Store Manager or Toy Lead to let them know the in-store counts are off. They can manually override until the problem is sorted out. My issue that I don't have a "home" Target that I usually shop at, nor am I really looking for any current 6" figs outside of the ERG wave.
I had a similar issue like this at Walmart with their Black Series 3.75" figs. Ended up having to call a few times, but the Manager eventually forced them through the system. Of course, all they got was 70ish older wave figures to gum up the pegs, but at least they weren't empty.

Wave 2 has been removed from HTS which typically means it's gone forever.

I was watching stock on this pretty closely and it appears it was only briefly (a couple of hours) in stock twice over the past six weeks. This seems to be the new way of HTS.com. They get really limited stock and it comes and goes very quickly, with no restock.
-
Target.com has the 2nd wave in stock online. The search function is a little wonky, but if you search by DCPI you can find what you're looking for. I just placed an order for a Jawa, which now completes my 40th Anniversary figure search.

Jawa is OOS. :'(

It's crazy how quickly most of these figures are selling through. I've managed to get most of what I want, but I thought that these were going to be a bit more plentiful at both online and brick & mortar retail.

EE has asked us to get the word out that they have relisted the Black Series 6" 40th Anniversary Wave 2 (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HSC1688BR&id=JE-405087801) case with estimated January 2018 delivery. Just $164.99 with free shipping.
If you need them, grab them while you can as you may not get another chance!
