The thing that won’t die looks to be back with another release later this year. Recent shipping data shows the arrival of an unannounced Carbonized Black Series 2 pack in the vein of the Amazon exclusive ROTJ40 and Obi-Wan Kenobi sets. No word on what media this new 2 pack (code named “FIRM”) may be from but hopefully it’s as ignorable as the uninspired and lazy NED-B and Purge Trooper set.
Hasbro Pulse has opened orders/preorders for the convention exclusive Vintage Collection Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett – featuring a unique headsculpt, more weapons, accessories and special packaging. Priced at $39.99, there should be limited quantities in stock and then switch over to preorder status.
Shipping notifications are started to hit inboxes of those who ordered (with the special one-time use code) the SDCC/Convention Exclusive Vintage Collection Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett. No word yet on when preorders will open for general purchase.
Update: This set will be available for order/preorder on this Friday, July 28 at 12pm ET on Hasbro Pulse

It’s been a few months since we’ve done one of these but as we prepare for another onslaught of solicitations from SDCC, here is a list of approximately 50 outstanding preorders* (U.S. only) for Black Series and Vintage Collection items. If you’ve preordered everything, the list is large but about a year ago at this time it was in the range of 80-90 preorders yet to be fulfilled. Yay progress!
*if an item isn’t on the list, there is a chance it has already been found at retail but preorders haven’t been fulfilled.
