Rumor Report: Star Wars Hydro Pods?
Hasbro is planning to offer (what I assume is) another kid targeted, inexpensive line called “Hydro Pods“. There is not a lot to go on at this point but features Aqua Armor figure assortments, vehicles/accessories like the X-wing and TIE Fighter, mystery figures and more. In a way, this sounds like the previous “Fighter Pods/Micro Force” line. Star Wars isn’t the only brand playing in the Hydro Pod pool, Marvel and Transformers will also have similar items in their sections.
Will this be another one of those stop-gap lines like the aforementioned Fighter Pods or Battle Bobblers? I guess we’ll officially hear about whatever Hydro Pods are soon as products are already arriving in the U.S.

There currently is no general DPCI for the Vintage Collection in their system and no allotted pegs for them in their most recent aisle update. It is unknown if this is a temporary hiatus or “resting” of the line at Target.
