Yakface.com is proud to announce Aussie Syfi Collectables as our latest addition to our list of site sponsors and affililates. They are Australia’s only full-range Star Wars retailer (including exclusives) carrying Black Series, Vintage Collection, Funko, Diamond Select, ShopDisney, Hot Toys, FigureShield and much more!
As we recently reported, Target’s exclusive TBS Mandalorian and Grogu is showing up in stores, and is currently listed as in stock here.
Personal Note: For a variety of reasons, I personally walked away from Hasbro’s TBS line over the summer, and pricing was definitely one of the factors. I decided that moving forward, I’d only purchase items from this line if there was something that I could repurpose for the 3.75″ lineup.
Even though this is an exclusive deluxe set, when I saw this in-store, I had forgotten just how expensive this set would be, which made me hesitate to make the purchase. So, I basically just dropped $40 for a white plastic spider.
For those that are collecting this line, what are your intentions? Fully support this one, or wait to see if you luck out on clearance?
For the first time in recent memory, I’m seeing a Star Wars Hasbro wave consistently selling and then getting restocked… and selling again. Are you experiencing this in your area? And how far down the Retro Collection rabbit hole do you want to see Hasbro go?
Personal Note: I’m still just lukewarm to the Retro line. It’s a novelty to me, and I pick and choose a few figures here and there. My preference is for the standard TVC line (though I would be interested in a mid-tier line that has modern sculpts, with 10-12 pts of articulation, and a lot more variety than what is offered today). However if the Retro line continues to gain momentum, it’s hard to see Hasbro deviating from this approach anytime soon.
Target stores are beginning to clearance out the TVC Nevarro Cantina and DROIDS figures. Good luck and happy hunting!
If you have been on the fence on purchasing the Target exclusive TBS Arvala-7 Mandalorian w/ Grogu deluxe pack, Target has marked them down through May 7th to $25.89. You can also grab this online for the same price by clicking here.
Update: Sold out online
The latest and greatest wave of TVC is starting to pop up at some Target stores in the US, and Entertainment Earth has begun shipping pre-orders. Be on the lookout, and good luck!
If you’ve been able to acquire any of these figures already, share your thoughts!

We just wanted to post an update on the status of the Yakface Forums. Due to some unexpected issues, we are experiencing delays in bringing them back. But, we are working on a resolution, and hope to have some good news soon (along with some new features).
Note: Yakfinities will return once we have things sorted out. Stay tuned for more information as we are able to make it available.
Thank you for your patience everyone.
Since we have transferred the site to a different server, we’re still working behind the scenes to bring back the forums. We apologize for the delay, but plan to have things back up and running sometime in February.
Things will look a little different, but we are hoping everyone who participates in the forums will like the changes that are coming!
Note: Yakfinities Customizing Challenges will resume, and the current theme will be extended due to the forums downtime.
You may have noticed some instability (i.e. downtime) regarding the site and forums lately. We transferred the site to a different server with some backside “improvements” to support future updates and compatibility. We think we have the front page squared away but we are still working to bring the forums back online. We thank you for your patience and hope to have the issues resolved soon.
Thanks – Yakface.com staff
