Vintage collection that is more my speed. I heard rumors a while back about a chrome series but no specifics. I hope it means a the same as the vintage collection they did a few years ago.

So 3 3/4" Black Series goes to WalMart as an exclusive...cool.
Happy hunting, happy scalping.
Since Wal Mart doesn't exist in civilized European countries we won't see them anywhere. Prices for direct imports will be astronomical.

"Vintage" styled figure (5POA or what?) exclusive to TRU.

Hasbro, what you do is beyond stupid.

Sounds like scaled down waves of those exclusives as well.

Seems silly we can't have one of these floating around on a shelf today that we could pick up.

Looks like us Europeans will need US-based dealers (like in dope dealers) in order to get those SA 3 3/4" exclusive lines from Wal Mart and probably TRU.
Prices in Europe will be easily beyond the 18 Dollar-mark for a Black Series figure. I estimate
19 EUR if they are not carried by a major retailer over here.

What's with the Amazon exclusive 6" stormtrooper 4-pack, why is the Imperial trooper covered in black cow prints. Other than that its kind of a good deal $79.99 for four figures the TFA trooper has that pauldron I haven't seen anywhere else.

Currently an exclusive to the British chain Argos, but rumored to be coming to Target in the US.

I'm heading out to my local Target today.  it says online they have in stock first order 6" troopers.  I'm hoping that's not a lie.

How many X-wings does Poe need/have? Is it me or does the cockpit look a bit bigger?
