Twitter follower Petty L. pointed out to me that the Target excluisve Retro Collection Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder) Prototype Edition figure has received a price increase from $10.99 to $14.99. Maybe it was priced wrong from the start or it’s part of the recent price increases hitting the SW brand. Preorders at the original price should still be honored.
Earlier this week I received the Amazon exclusive Black Series Mandalorian/Ahsoka Tano/Grogu Set and I snapped a few images to get my first impressions of this pack.

With today’s preorders, a new TVC case assortment was added containing the new Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) as well as a repack/carry forward of the upcoming Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) figure. Based on the code name and SKU for Cassian, I believe we can also slot Hunter (The Bad Batch) in this case as well.
As always, case assortments are subject to change.
New preorders are set for launch today at 1pm ET. Black Series Vel Sartha and Vintage Collection Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) are general releases and available through most retailers, including our sponsors/affiliates.
