I came across a new code name this week at Target and Walmart for a Black Series item designated “Rushmore“. It’s price is higher than the current MSRP for mainline ($24.99) and deluxe ($33.99) figures at $44.99 so I speculate that this could be for the upcoming Luke Skywalker and Grogu Build Up Pack that was pipelined at the Hasbro Fanstream in February. Of it could be something else entirely. We will update once more is known.
Retailer Toyhideout has posted some in-hand images of upcoming products from the Vintage and Retro Collections. Hopefully these start making there way to online retailers soon!
Today we’ve acquired a new Deluxe Vintage Collection code name for 2023: “Bliss”. Price is (currently) comparable to other Deluxe TVC at $27.99 each, no word on whom it may be quite yet.
We’ve added this to the updated 2023 Master List for future reference.
