It looks like the newest wave of Black Series figures (yet to be officially announced by Hasbro) is starting to hit Target. Wave 31 was found at Target in Portland, OR via Kevin T. over on the Star Wars Modern Figure Collectors Facebook group.
Maybe Hasbro will get around to letting preorders open for this wave.

It appears that ShopDisney made a critical error regarding the new Boba Fett Gallery Diorama piece that went up for order yesterday. Today, collectors received the above notification that the product shown would not be the product they’d be receiving. Sure enough, packages started arriving with a repackaged Diamond Select Boba Fett. Apparently there was some mix up and images and description for new Boba Fett (from The Book of Boba Fett) was published to the site. Expect it to be relisted properly at a later date with a higher price point, too.
Thanks to Dennis and Sean for their images.
Keep your eyes on the clearance aisle at your local Walmart, as you never know what surprises you might find, such as the TBS Bad Batch exclusive figures that have been returned from online orders.
Hopefully those enormous stickers peel off cleanly for any carded collectors who stumble upon them like this.
In-hand shots of the upcoming Target exclusive “TVC” Star Wars Droids Boba Fett confirm that these figures (Fett, C-3PO and R2-D2) are not numbered in sequence with the Vintage Collection line and do not carry the TVC logo either.
Thanks to Alan Ngai Lun Li from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Group on Facebook for sharing the images,
