Additional scanning through shipping info also shows that the TVC Carbon-Freezing Chamber has arrived in warehouses in California. It is unknown if it will be released earlier than the originally proposed October 2020 date.
Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
Note: This is not the mystery Clone Trooper from the next wave of Black Series.
Poking around a bit with the Walmart app has turned up results for a new TVC Playset. Could this be something revealed in 4 days?

A new R5-P8 (Hondo’s droid from The Clone Wars and Galaxy’s Edge) Elite Series figure has been found at Metrocentre Gateshead in the UK – Thanks to Aaron K. for the info.

We try our hand and making a Star Wars-inspired book nook diorama, scaled for standard 3.75″ Hasbro figures! Norm brings this project to the cave to go over the details with Adam in our first socially distanced show and tell, and then walks us through the design and build process for integrating LED lighting, mirrored hallway illusions, and acrylic joinery. We’re hooked on making book nooks!

Sponsor DorksideToys has updated their store with new images for the next repaint/reissue wave of Vintage Collection figures. There are some noticeable differences in how some of the figures are packaged in their bubbles as compared to their original runs and Obi-Wan’s reference photos looks to have been altered too. Head on over for a closer look at the carded and loose images.
A scan of shipping data this morning shows that the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon (Smuggler’s Run) is on the way to Hasbro’s U.S. warehouses for distribution. Also, the mystery TVC “Emerald” figure is also in the same shipment and is packed 8 per case leading me to believe that the other rumored “gem” TVC items (Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire) are packed similarly and are not a traditional wave of TVC figures. They are still listed as $17.99 each.
As we exclusively reported back in June, Hondo will be part of the 6″ Black Series line (087-16-6969) coming to Target later this month for the special store section for merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge. Today, a listing on Mercari has provided photographic evidence of the individually boxed figure. Thanks to William R. for the heads up and Wendi J. for the images.
