It appears that the next potential exclusive for SDCC/Hasbro Pulse is Vintage Collection related and features the long-awaited Emperor Palpatine with Throne. If this is true, it may explain the why the rumored figure has been held back from being revealed with its other case mates for it to debut in this set.

Thanks to an Instagram post from professiorbtoyshop, it appears that there is a Black Series Cantina Set of sorts which may be one of the SDCC/Hasbro Pulse Exclusives which we reported on back in May.
This set features an(other) Obi-Wan Kenobi with photoreal likeness as well as two new figures Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan and a portion of the cantina’s bar and dispensery. This potential set is in keeping with how Hasbro has released figures in the past like last year’s Heroes of Endor Set since we know (unofficially) that both “Walrusman” and “Roofoo” are coming in the standard Black Series line later this year.
Instagram follower punkcomictoycollector send word of finding the Retro Collection Boba Fett (Prototype Edition) at their Toys R Us store in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
U.S. collectors will have to wait until Target’s July 25th street date is lifted to acquire theirs.
Another figure code name has been uncovered at Target, this time for the Vintage Collection. Star Wars VIN “Periwinkle” is listed as $13.99 and at this time there is no indictation whether or not it is an exclusive.
Poking around at Target’s price checking stations, I managed to uncover two new potential Black Series exclusives that follow the “exercise” code names started by “Lunge” which we reported a couple months ago.
“Squat” is currently priced similarly to the recent Target exclusive Clone Wars figures at $26.49, while “Jog” is $10 more and suggests it being a deluxe item.
The UPCs I have for these don’t match anything I’ve previously uncovered (yet) so these are definitely new items. This info has been added to our 2021 Master List for future reference.
Thanks to some in-hand packaging shots from a Facebook member, we now have the VC numbers for Wave 7 of the Vintage Collection. They breakdown as follow:
ARC Trooper Echo – VC176
Darth Maul (Mandalore) – VC201
Ahsoka Tano (Mandalore) – VC202
Offworld Jawa (Arvala-7) – VC203
It’s nice to have that 176 gap officially filled after the error of issuing the two Walmart Exclusive TVC figures – Din Djarin and The Child and the Incinerator Stormtrooper the VC177 designation. Now the question is: Who is VC200?
The Disney Store exclusive series of Star Wars Toybox figures continues on with a new set revealed recently – Ahsoka Tank and Captain Rex. These should be available online and in-store in the coming weeks here in the US.

Hasbro has sent word that they will be offering another “batch” of the Amazon Exclusive TVC Bad Batch Sets in early 2022. Why not just open more preorders now instead of parsing them out 6-7 months from now?
Long rumored to be joining Lando Calrissian “Antarctica”, IG-11 “Huron” and Teebo “Ontario”, Amazon AU has updated the listing for “Erie” as well confirming The Emperor coming to the Vintage Collection. The pages and listings are no longer visible publicly but remain visible to those who added them to a list for future purchase when available.
According to a few Amazon AU listings, it looks like we can expect the release of a few of the announced “pipeline” Black Series figures on or around November 1, 2021. Figures include Boba Fett (Tython), Migs Mayfeld (Morak) and the Stormtrooper (Jedha Patrol).
