TVC Galaxy’s Edge Falcon and TVC “Emerald” Figure On The Way to Warehouses
A scan of shipping data this morning shows that the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon (Smuggler’s Run) is on the way to Hasbro’s U.S. warehouses for distribution. Also, the mystery TVC “Emerald” figure is also in the same shipment and is packed 8 per case leading me to believe that the other rumored “gem” TVC items (Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire) are packed similarly and are not a traditional wave of TVC figures. They are still listed as $17.99 each.
