Instagram follower lurkmodesquad reports finding a set of the new Retro Collection figures thanks to our report from earlier today. He say he grabbed these from the Coral Springs, FL location and left the rest for other collectors.
Gold star for you my friend.
It looks like Walmart is starting to set their endcaps with new displays featuring the TBS Boba Fett Helmet, TBS 40th Anniversary figures and the Retro Collection TESB Wave. They are not register locked. Thanks to RM from southern Ohio for the images.
The first repaint wave (26) of TVC figures for 2020 is currently enroute to Canada according to shipping data and should be available at retail soon. Cases consist of 2 of each of the above figures.

As we continue to adjust to the complex life changes and ripple effects of COVID-19, we are hoping that those who are able can make a donation to Rancho Obi-Wan on behalf of friend Ringo Davil (D. Martin Myatt). Rancho Obi-Wan is an independent, non-profit organization, established by Steve Sansweet, that offers tours and preserves many of the rare and obscure collectibles/memorabilia from our favorite franchise. Rancho Obi-Wan relies on contributions and donations for operability. The Star Wars fan base is large and generous and has already reached the goal originally set. Let’s continue this momentum in an effort to ensure that ROW is around for years to come.
