Thanks everyone for the updates. It's a lot easier tracking down figures than it was in the pre-SWNZ forums days :)

Can confirm that these latest Black Series waves have hit the Cuba Street Farmers in Wellington. Got me a Rex, Thorn, and Doom to add to my Clone Trooper collection!

And the Star Wars goodness keeps on coming. This time in food form. Friend of mind alerted me to these this morning. Character Cookies with free magnet for $4 at New World.

Cool, we've been waiting for these...they're from from Aussie company Park Avenue, who did a lot of the Easter products we saw a few months back. Thanks for sharing!

Don't feel bad. He's pretty obscure, having only appeared in one episode of the Lost Missions. I think he comes to us as a figure by virtue of his easy and eye-catching repaint status (which, it turns out, is inspired by Dr Doom's classic costume colours).

Yeah, the heads-up to Wave 8's arrival this week was amazing. I doubt I would have even checked the stores this weekend, had Stylie Steve not tipped us off. Sincerest thanks, mate! Forum community win. :)

Its a shame so many more figures from the same episode were ignored for a mere repaint on a body that is far subpar to vc-45. (clone trooper from vintage collection wave, which many people really like.)

I do hope it means there might be more clone wars possibly but i'd prefer they do them in the cartoony style if they do them, i will hope farmers in chch will have some today.

Woo! Have been keeping an eye on supermarkets for a few months now after seeing a friend in Australia mention them (they're from the same company as other licensed cookies sold here) - happy to see them finally show up, thanks for the alert! :)

Yeah I will pick up a few packs later in the week for the kids school lunches :-) I've been keeping an eye out in case we get any Star Wars related breakfast products.

Nope, they were notably absent from the assortments I saw in Auckland.

Saw the same wave of The Black Series at Farmers Dunedin, picked up Thorn and Doom - my first SW purchases since late 2010/early 2011
At $12 each, I think I see a few more purchases over the next day or so.
