Sponsor Aussie Syfi Collectables is now taking preorders for new TVC products including the Boba Fett (Kenner Deco), ARC Commander Colt and the ROTJ40 Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper. Check out these items and more!
Bring Home the Galaxy campaign on StarWars.com has revealed a new Vintage Collection Boba Fett but this time in classic Kenner deco. Preorders for this Target exclusive Wed., Nov 9 at 1pm ET.
Shipping notifications are being received for the Amazon exclusive Retro Collection Bounty Hunter 2pk featuring Boba Fett and Bossk. Collectors can expect to start receiving them this week.
Initially set to close last Friday, the Vintage Collection Boba’s Fett Throne Room has officially closed for preorders and is listed as “Sold Out”. We now have to wait until late 2023 for this to arrive in our hands. A lot can happen in the world between now and then but thankfully we still have our cash in-hand as, unlike a Haslab campaign, we won’t have to pay for these until September. That said, let’s look at the preorder numbers this generated:
Hasbro Pulse US: 9695 (Max 19750)
Hasbro Pulse UK: 870 (Max 1000)
Hasbro Pulse EU: 529 (Max 1000)
Total: 11094 units preordered (this number may still fluctuate as preorders are cancelled or if/when they reopen.)
What do you think? Based on the numbers sold, it pulled in a little over half of the total allocated product to the 3 Hasbro Pulse stores.
I don’t think I speak out of turn to suggest that this would have had stronger global sales if it was marketed as a Return of the Jedi piece and include Jabba the Hutt — next year is the 40th Anniversary after all.
Hasbro Pulse has been busy recently in processing and shipping preorders and in-stock items. Over the past couple of days, authorizations and shipping notifications have gone out for the Cassian Andor / B2EMO set, TBS Boba Fett (Arena Armor), TVC Jedi Survivor 3pk. and the TVC Phase I Clone Trooper 4pk. TVC R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick’s Astromech) will also be shipping very soon. Keep an eye on your inbox for these and other items arriving soon.
Target is finally processing and shipping preorders for the long-awaited Black Series Boba Fett (Droids) figure. If you recall, this figure went up for preorder on Sept. 24, 2021 and it is now just hitting stores in the U.S.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for the Daimyo Boba Fett Meisho Movie Realization Figure inspired by his look from The Book of Boba Fett. Price is set at $124.99 and expected to release in April 2023.
