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.
Instagrammer @docking_bay_224 has posted some nice turnarounds for the upcoming 6″ Black Series First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) figure heading to Walmart next week. Click on through for a few images.

Back in June, we exclusively reported on a mystery Vintage Collection vehicle from The Mandalorian was coming soon. Based on yesterday’s reveals and cross referencing the product number against shipping manifest info, I can confirm that the vehicle formerly referred to as “Huckleberry Hoodboat” is the Best Buy Exclusive AT-ST Raider.
This vehicle was listed on shipping manifests starting on Sept 14, so they should be at Best Buy for Triple Force Friday.
Shipping alongside the Vader’s Challenge Set we exclusively reported a couple days ago is the previously rumored “TVC Bruges Build Up Pack”. Beyond the fact that this includes troopers from the First Order, there hasn’t been any new developments as to the contents of this set as far as figure quantity. Details should be revealed soon though whether through official or unofficial means.
If you pre-ordered The Black Series Emperor Palpatine with throne via Amazon, be checking your inbox as yours might be en route to your home a little earlier than expected.
Mine was slated for an October 9 delivery, but has been moved up to this weekend (some lucky individuals received theirs earlier this month).
