Not sure where to put this. But regarding Walmart exclusives

[Dawfydd]

I recall looking into the service when they started and ruling it out as an option due to the price but it looks like the price has either changed or i'm just desperate enough to pay that price lol
But i still don't know what kind of weight the figures are coming towards the 500g extra cost issue.

But I'm still going to keep trying to get the exclusives in local stores, So far no reason I've been given is a reason we couldn't get them in stores here.

and the last two stormtroopers that were left an hour ago are now gone lol so they still haven't made enough to supply demand.

*update*

Good afternoon,



Thank you for your patience, we have a response from Hasbro where we
were advised New Zealand and Australia were not allowed these
particular Star Wars figures. However Hasbro is arranging a discussion
with us around possibly making them available to the Warehouse New
Zealand, which is quite good news for collectors such as your self.
But at this stage it is still in negotiations with Hasbro so I would
keep an eye on the shelves in the future.



Should you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to
contact us on 0800 422274 quoting reference number in the subject line
during the hours of 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am - 4pm Saturday
and Sunday.



Kind regards,



Ken

This might be good news.
We'll see, Does K-mart stock hasbro? its been a while since i went into a store.
I'll be contacting Hasbro again and there has been no reply from farmers/toyworld

That's pretty good news, even if not confirmed yet. Nice work.

Great job! Fingers crossed, eh?

[Dawfydd]

Indeed, i think it will be something i need to keep following up with, to be honest if one store gets these it'd be a victory but more than one is better for prices and stock numbers.
I'll have to resend my queries to toy-world and farmers when i write up one for k-mart.

This may be of interest. While browsing through the Big W website (Australia), I was quite surprised to see they have these Walmart exclusives. Maybe one of these days, they'll get the 3.75 Black Series in this part of the world

They don't ship to NZ as far as I can tell but worth checking out if visiting there (or lucky enough to get family/friends bring stuff over)

I had a couple of promises to get back to me with news and they'd work on it, but i imagine its been all but forgotten, i doubt anything besides a petition with 5k signs would move hasbro atm.
We can hope mightyape can be sneaky to get them off another retailer but atm i think youshop is the only viable option if you catch the items in stock.
I wish i had a decent income i'd bring these into the country and just re-sell at price just so i could spite hasbro. lol

According to store reports I spotted on Yakface's Twitter, Big W in Australia is now stocking the WM exclusive 3.75" Black Series line. The the to be released in the US Scarif Trooper and Cassian Andor figures were present, along with seemingly most figures from past waves as well. As always, compared to the US, the pricing sucks, but their presence would seem to shine a ray of sunlight on the hope of these being sold in NZ as well. Perhaps there's still hope?

I'd be interested to know if they had the previous waves, but yeah i'd heard details of aussie getting these hopefully it expands the number of figures out there so everyone can get theirs, but i'm not holding my breathe for new zealand as none of the companies were commited.
Who knows though, my bets were on hasbro not releasing more 4inch until after the film so that is a happy surprise.
