Yakface.com is announcing this...

Word is that Hasbro will be officially announcing/launching several new preorders tomorrow for the Black Series line and, if my count is accurate, it could be more than a dozen products. Hasbro Pulse did mention a few weeks ago via a comment on Instagram that the wave with The Mandalorian in Beskar Armor would be available for order on May 28. One could assume that the entire wave will be available (and then some).

I REALLY hope this includes a Black Series Mandalorian helmet.

I'm guessing these will be a few of the items available for pre-order.

HasbroPulse put the new BS figures up for pre-order early.

The Mandalorian and The Kamino trooper are already sold out.

I ordered Zeb, Ackbar, Stormtrooper and Teebo. Not sure if anything is new about the others.

Ares_X · May 28, 2020

Entertainment Earth has all of the new BS figures, plus still have the Mandalorian and Clone available. I ordered two Mandalorians and one Clone.

My Amazon pre-order for the chrome Mando Pop! now says arriving Tuesday. Not yet shipped.

I checked mine after reading this and it states the same. Weird. It's also no longer listed under "open orders".

Have any of you received your BS Imperial Commanders from GameStop? I checked my order and it states "Awaiting product availability".

Mine says the same thing. Been that way for a couple of weeks.

Ordered Zeb, Kamino Trooper, and Mando Beskar. Would have ordered Ahsoka but I don't know if there is anything different about this fig compared to the previous 6" release.

So much goodness today. Preordered Zeb and Ezra through pulse and Mandalorian through Dorkside. Already have an Ezra, but that update is nice.

What's new about Ezra?

I received an email from D23 stating they're going to start reopening Disney World Resort in phases in July. No news about Disneyland.

AaylaSecurasMan · May 28, 2020

Happy for you guys that collect BS6. I am still waiting for new 3.75” figures to show up for preorder.

Ares_X · May 29, 2020

All of the new Black Series figures are available for pre-order on Amazon (EXCEPT for the Mandalorian). That figures. If anyone sees it on Amazon, please let me know.

The Child got himself a new outfit for the weekend.

If he looks a bit chubby, it's not because I am overfeeding him, but because he's wearing four layers of clothing.

I also just realize you can drag a picture directly into the Post Reply box below and it will add it to your post. No need to store it at some image repository site on the web. This is very convenient. I've been adding my images to Imgur and then copying them here.

I received an email from Hot Topic that their stores are opening today. It looks like all of the AZ stores are on the list.

Superstition HT opened on 5/22; I haven't stopped in yet, but I did stop by my local GS yesterday to preorder the Revan and Malak POPs! Nice to be able to go inside the store again. Going to stop by AZ Mills nest week to pick up an order that arrived just before the shutdown.

New scanned/photo real face tech.

Thanks. I still think I'm good with the first Ezra. I'm not a fan of the character.

You do know you can resize the pictures by clicking on them and grabbing the anchor points, right?

Oh cool! I just learned about dragging pictures into the new post today. I thought that was pretty cool.

Tonight's episode of Gallery has been exactly what I have been waiting for.

Gilbert/Southern Target had six of the BS probe droids tonight. All had damaged boxes.

I received the first of three of the Bounty Collection figures. They are referred to as a 2-pack, but they are actually individually boxed. They're also much larger than I expected.

Got my 3 sets today from Target very cool looking and cute. I like how each set is double boxed like when you order Pops online.

I can't say I'm all that into them. I think I'm going to return them. They just aren't doing much for me.

The only one I'm not too thrilled with is the one where he is wrapped in the blanket. We'll see what some of these versions look like in Pops if they look pretty good I may give these to the grandkids to play with since you can't play with Pops. I still have to give them the big Child I picked up at WM.

You have grandkids? I didn't know that. None for me yet and not sure if there ever will be.

I'm so tired of Walmart exclusives. Brickseek has let me down every single time. Now they are on clearance while my preorders from Feburary are still back ordered. I am tired of having to use walmart has Hasbro's "Great retail partner" the one retro figure they sent me was Taco'd. so yeah. I doubt ill ever find a Boba in decent shape at this point. Only if EE ends up getting a second wave like they did with the first retro wave.
