Once again I join the crew over at the Galaxy of Toys podcast to discuss the recent Fan First Friday reveals and more. Head on over to galaxyoftoys.podbean.com to download, listen and subscribe.
I received word over the weekend that Ahsoka’s Lightsabers from The Clone Wars season 7 are coming to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. No price is given yet, but should be hitting stores soon.
Confirmed: I caught a Instagram story from HerUniverse/Ashley Eckstein from by way of the DisneyParkBlog account and she revealed that the Legacy Lightsaber set will be available this Fall and will feature blades that change color from green to blue.
Hasbro has just announced via Instagram they they will be having their Hasbro Pulse Con on September 25 & 26 where they will be having new official reveals and exclusives from Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, G.I.Joe and more.
Here are the direct page links for the Target Exclusive Galaxy’s Edge Droid Depot assortment of Build-A Droid Figures:
Purple/White Astromech (Bartender)
Red/White Astromech (swappable dome)
Black/Orange Astromech (booster rockets)
Red/Black BB Units
Black/Purple BB Units
Blue/Red BB Units
I posted this comparison earlier via social media and I think it’s worthy of discussion here as well. If you take into consideration all of our rumored /unconfirmed Vintage Collection (TVC) and Black Series (TBS) action figure related items coming between now through 2021, the lines look as follows:
TVC: 31 rumored/unconfirmed
TBS: 42 rumored/unconfirmed
We don’t know how many of both lines are repacks/repaints, and if you remove the 4 additional TBS Credit Collection we just reported today, the balance overall is just barely in the Black Series favor. Interesting.
No, this is not an agency that repeatedly calls you for insurmountable debt you’ve accumulated, a couple days ago we reported the discovery of a new 6″ Black Series figure “Mando Berry” in Target’s system and it looks like there’s more info to share regarding this figure and the new “Credit Collection” to which it belongs.

Instagram follower clone_cooper_customs has posted a nice series of images showing off the upcoming Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Commander Pyre (Galaxy’s Edge). We unofficially reported it last month but watch for it officially in-stores in October for $24.99. DPCI: 087-16-2229
Checked out my local Target this morning and found the new Galaxy’s Edge Nerf blasters on shelf today. The Bounty Hunter Blaster ($19.99) is a repaint/recast of the Qi’ra blaster from Solo: A Star Wars Story and the First Order Blaster ($14.99) is a repack of the previously issued blaster from The Force Awakens. Both should be available starting on Sunday.
I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.
Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.
Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….
UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.
The little stylized figurines for The Child from The Mandalorian as part of “The Bounty Collection” assortment are expanding with 6 new products as shown above.
