Four exclusive Star Wars: The Clone Wars figures dropped exclusively at Walmart on July 17 at 10am EST / 7am PST. They sold out in mere minutes. But there's good news, as we've just had an update and they seem to be back at the time of writing. 

Yes, Walmart is surely 'toying' with us (sorry) as stock seems to have come back in on some of the models, albeit at a slightly higher price at $24.99 instead of $19.99. This could actually explain why they 'sold out' originally. Walmart must have realized they had been listed at the wrong price and promptly pulled them in order to relist them at the proper MSRP.

Now, this was a tricky release, as the pre-orders are a Walmart exclusive but Walmart's site is notoriously difficult to navigate, especially when you're typing something specific into the search bar. I was desperately plugging 'Clone Wars' and 'Ahsoka Tano' into the search and pulling up empty, so I took to Twitter and ultimately found direct links to all four toys – if they do sell out again, you can sign up to get notified when they're back in stock, which worked for us today.

If you're in the UK, you might have better luck with stock availability. The retailer In Demand Toys has just Ahsoka Tano and the Mandalorian Loyalist still in stock at the time of publication – so act fast. If you haven't managed to get your hands on any of them, I feel your pain, I scrambled like Salacious B. Crumb on Jabba the Hutt's back to get Ahsoka, and it wasn't a pretty sight.

The Black Series still has a ton of amazing collectibles available, so if you're interested head to the Amazon (US) and Amazon (UK) pages to check them out.

If you can't tell, I love the Clone Wars, so check out my review of the finale right here: The Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 12 review.
