Bringing Balance: TBS vs TVC Rumor Reports

I posted this comparison earlier via social media and I think it’s worthy of discussion here as well. If you take into consideration all of our rumored /unconfirmed Vintage Collection (TVC) and Black Series (TBS) action figure related items coming between now through 2021, the lines look as follows:

TVC: 31 rumored/unconfirmed
TBS: 42 rumored/unconfirmed

We don’t know how many of both lines are repacks/repaints, and if you remove the 4 additional TBS Credit Collection we just reported today, the balance overall is just barely in the Black Series favor. Interesting.

Rumor Report: 6″ Black Series “The Mandalorian Credit Collection”

No, this is not an agency that repeatedly calls you for insurmountable debt you’ve accumulated, a couple days ago we reported the discovery of a new 6″ Black Series figure “Mando Berry” in Target’s system and it looks like there’s more info to share regarding this figure and the new “Credit Collection” to which it belongs.

Target Exclusive Galaxy’s Edge Nerf Blasters FOund

Checked out my local Target this morning and found the new Galaxy’s Edge Nerf blasters on shelf today. The Bounty Hunter Blaster ($19.99) is a repaint/recast of the Qi’ra blaster from Solo: A Star Wars Story and the First Order Blaster ($14.99) is a repack of the previously issued blaster from The Force Awakens. Both should be available starting on Sunday.

Rumor Report Update: Two More 6″ Exclusives for Target?

I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.

Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.

Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….

UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.
