Amazon has finally activated the product link for the upcoming TVC Darth Revan (VC150). There is no updated image and it is currently out of stock but you can still order it and maybe it will fill at some point or maybe orders will get cancelled. It’s a crap shoot anymore with Amazon.
It looks like the Obi-Wan Kenobi and BT-1 Black Series figures are now available for preorder again on Amazon after long-standing preorders were cancelled last week.
I trust everyone had a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend break with family and friends. As I get caught up on my inbox of emails and social notifications, I’m seeing a ton of reports concerning delays and cancellation notices on orders from Walmart for Jabba’s Palace playset, cancellations of Amazon preorders for figures from Black Series wave 21 and TVC Skiffs, and finally, Target has changed the status of the Retro Collection DPCI to “discontinued” after only a couple of weeks of availability (if you saw them at all). I know it’s frustrating for today’s “gotta have it now” collector, but I urge you all to show restraint and NOT reward scalpers or fall victim to algorithmic pricing for any of these items as they will all be available eventually for retail price or less (at least in the U.S.). Reach out to friends and trusted acquaintances in the collector community to help fill those holes in your collection and in turn do the same for others.
Amazon is sending out cancellation notification to some of those who purchased through them. It reads as follows:
Due to a lack of availability, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:
“Star Wars The Vintage Collection – Episode VI Return of The Jedi – Jabba’s Tatooine Skiff Collectible Vehicle”
We’ve canceled the item(s) and apologize for the inconvenience. We must also apologize for the length of time it has taken us to reach this conclusion.
If you are still interested in purchasing this item, it may be available from other sellers.
Thanks to sheevpalpatine for the alert.

Amazon is now taking preorders for the new 6” Black Series Emperor Palpatine with Throne. Price is set at $39.99 and ships October 4.
Chances are you might not have seen this set at retail, but if you’re interested, right now it’s marked down for the low price of $12.58 via Amazon Prime.
You can now start building your droid army as Amazon currently has the 6″ Black Series Battle Droid in stock for $19.99.
Update: Out of stock for the retail price
Amazon has the new Vintage Collection Tatooine Skiff up for preorder for $39.99.
Thanks to PadawanBear for the heads-up.
Amazon currently has the new Black Series Hyperreal Darth Vader listed at $49.99. And before the haters start to chime in that this is already a failure, you’ll note that this isn’t a sale – it’s the regular listing price with no discounts/savings. You can also see why our exclusive report on this figure was originally listed at this price, then revised to reflect Hasbro’s MSRP of $79.99. We’re not sure what’s going on here but if you’re at all interested in this, I suggest ordering it now to lock in the preorder price guarantee.
UPDATE: Price changed to $79.99
