The results are in for the most recent Yak’s Top Ten, which is none other than The Original Trilogy.
There was a different top placement in The Vintage Collection vs. The Black Series. In fact, barely any crossover was present between the two scales at all.

Another Yak’s Top Ten has just kicked off in the forums. We’ll be posting those details soon.
I’ve heard some interesting rumors over the past couple of days regarding upcoming products for The Vintage Collection and it sounds like we may not have to wait too much longer for a reveal/announcement for Hasbro’s version of The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.
As with any rumor we share, until there is an announcement they are unofficial, approximate and subject to cancellation and/or delay by the manufacturer.
UPDATE: Based on a series of very compelling/convincing screenshots received over the past couple of weeks – if true – it appears that the TVC Razor Crest may have a price point of $349.99.
Additional research has confirmed that the next wave of 6″ Black Series (wave 27) is currently en route or has arrived at U.S. ports. The rumored breakdown of this wave can be viewed on our 2020 Master List page.
Tonight I have found evidence of yet another “convention exclusive” figure much like the Cad Bane, Heroes of Endor and ARC Trooper sets. Shipping manifest data reveals a pending arrival of SW BL CONVENTION EXCL 4 SAWYER – with “Sawyer” being a coded figure for The Mandalorian series. Speculation is that this character code is attributed to “The Armorer”.
A couple weeks ago we posted word of the possibility of 2 new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figures coming to the line later this year, early next. With some searching via the Walmart app, the second set has been located. It is rumored that the first of these is Jar Jar Binks and the second has yet to be uncovered. Neither set is exclusive to Walmart and both are priced at $29,99. More info to come when available.
A new case listing from DiecastCompany.nl shows a breakdown of new Star Wars Character Cars for The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch. We got our first look at the concept for “The Child” character car this year at SDCC@Home but this assortment also confirms a character car for Cara Dune (from The Mandalorian) plus Wrecker from The Bad Batch. Will the Huckleberry car be a reissue of the previous version(s) or a shiny Beskar version with new tooling?

Sponsor Entertainment Earth has opened preorders for some older, hard-to-find TBS figures and recent Vintage Collection figures. Figures include Clone Commander Wolffe (TBS), Commander Gree (TBS), General Grievous (TBS), Gamorrean Guard (TBS), Cara Dune (TVC), and The Mandalorian (TVC). Head on over and avoid those high aftermarket prices.
An interesting observation was made regarding the packaging design for the new Black Series 4.0 assortment. Hasbro may be hinting at future accent color usage in the line as the top right tab on the packaging doesn’t match the overall color accent of the box.
BOX ACCENT COLOR / TAB ACCENT COLOR Kamino Clone (Yellow) / Red (used for AOTC) Teebo (Green) / Dark Brown (used for The Mandalorian) Ackbar (Green) / Tan ? Mandalorian (Dark Brown) / Light Pink ? Stormtrooper (Dark Brown) / Eggshell Blue ? Darth Vader (Blue) / Purple? (different from Rebels color)
