New Elite Series Darth Vader Figure
In celebration of the 35th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi, Disney Stores and ShopDisney.com will be offering a new version of the Darth Vader Elite Series Die Cast Figure, this time featuring a removable helmet. Look for this and more exclusive merchandise to be released on Star Wars Day, May 4th.
6″ Figures for 3 cents
Walmart has finally given up the glut of 6″ TBS figures from The Force Awakens and Rogue One – unable to sell some of these even at $5.00 each, some stores have lowered the price to mere pennies per figure in an effort to dump inventory (three cents each, to be exact). Be on the lookout in your area, and you might find Brickseek helpful in your searches.

Solo: Slow Stocking
As many of our fellow collectors have experienced, retailers seem to be on their own schedule (feels like a store-by-store basis) on getting new product onto the pegs for Hasbro’s latest lineup of Star Wars merchandise.
So if you haven’t seen many signs of new stock yet, it might just mean the stores you are hitting just haven’t made it a priority yet. I’ve seen this slow trickle in my neck of the woods, then yesterday found a Target that had finally set aside some time and shelf space to get new items out.
So, don’t give up too early – and share your finds too (or lack thereof) after the jump!
Target Exclusive 6″ Chewbacca (Vandor-1) Details
We have acquired the details (UPC/DPCI and release date) for the Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Chewbacca (Vandor-1) from Hasbro. According to Brickseek and our contact at Target, collectors can expect it in early May for $19.99. We’ve updated our Master List for these details as well.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assist on this information.
Product Pages for Wave 2 Solo 2 Packs

Rumor Report: More Vintage Collection Figures
There is one 3.75″ Black Series figure that has been highly requested for re-release since it was so difficult to find when Walmart held its exclusivity. Collectors can breathe a sigh of relief that the Rogue One Scarif Stormtrooper will be getting the “TVC” treatment. Another character joining the collection is rumored to be Leia in Boushh Disguise. It is unknown if it’s an all-new version or repacked (from 2015) but is probably the latter as the line is balancing repacks with all-new sculpts. Expect these along side Yak Face and Klaatu in 2019*.
*I sure hope these don’t get cancelled.
