While browsing the Star Wars landing page on Target.com I noticed a curious group of figures in one of the banners promoting their Triple Force Friday launch. It features Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training), Yoda and Darth Vader and that Luke figure definitely appears to have a photo reveal face.
Does this image confirm our rumor last week of a Vintage Collection “Darth Vader’s Challenge” set? We should know soon enough.
You may have caught our hints in the previous article regarding this set, but Instagrammer Toyfiend managed to acquire one and crack it open. Click on through for the reveal.

Interestingly, the Wedge Antilles was solicited as being from “E5”, but there have been a lot of source designation mix ups from Hasbro in both the Black Series and Vintage Collection.

Surprise! The exclusive 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Skywalker Strikes) figure is now available for purchase on HasbroPulse.com
Thanks to all who notified us.
Update: Sold Out
Update 2: Hasbro Pulse has just sent an update regarding orders, it reads:
Thank you for your recent order of E5291STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES LUKE SKYWALKER (SKYWALKER STRIKES) Figure.
Please note that your order is confirmed, but this item will not be shipping until November 4, 2019. We apologize for any inconvenience. Should you wish to cancel your order, please contact us and we’ll issue a full refund.
For those looking to keep track of their purchases for Triple Force Friday, we have now made available our downloadable Unofficial Product Checklist. This is version 1.0 so if there are any further/major developments between now and October 3, we will post a revision.
The other day I managed to purchase a few new items at Target (they were not register blocked nor did I resort to any trickery or sweet talking) one of which was the new 5” Galaxy of Adventures Darth Vader. Above is a quick size comparison showing how this new line measures up with others. For $10 and with as much articulation as a TVC or TBS figure, this line is pretty nice.
Another small tidbit is that there currently is no location shown on Target’s planogram for the Vintage Collection Poe’s X-wing Fighter for their aisle reset for Triple Force Friday.
You can cross one item off your Triple Force Friday list as I received some info which lists this figure with a December 1 street date. The DPCI info above as also been added to our Master List.
Searching around today I managed to find what maybe the first look at the solicitation imagery from CinemaSceneMarketing for theater concessions marketing for The Rise of Skywalker. It appear that the newest poster is prevalent across tubs, drink holders, as well a character cups.
Here is something a bit weird. There is an image swirling around on Facebook of a 6″ Black Series “Collector Mystery Box” that has surfaced in stockrooms of Target. The box is all black with the Star Wars Black Series Logo and shrinkwrapped with an “Only at Target” sticker.
Hopefully we’ll have more details soon.
Update: Price is $39.99
Update 2: Box includes a Mystery figure, a hat, a pin, and a comic book and the box has a First Order sigil on the back.
