For those chasing, here are some handy scan cards that you can use to search for the exclusive First Edition Black Series at Target and Walmart (hitting Walmart now). Simply scan the unique barcode on the bottom right of each image at a kiosk or handheld device. (When scanned products will come up with their code names).
@5017set is back with more 2027 rumors – this time for the Vintage Collection. It’s not too big a leap that we’d see some reissues of main characters like Vader and Stormtroopers for the 50th anniversary of the franchise, but we may also see a release of “the man” himself to fill a special spot in our collections. (And there’s also Space Gosling from Starfighter).
