Target has finally updated some of their open ended release dates for various Black Series and Vintage Collection preorders. I look we can expect to see movement on TVC Axe Woves, TVC Boba Fett (Morak), TBS Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis), and the TBS Dark Trooper on October 2.
Collectors have started to receive preorders for the Amazon exclusive Black Series Cad Bane (Bracca) figure from The Bad Batch – but be warned. Some collectors have reported on receiving the Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi) figure instead. On the flip side, collectors that did order the Wandering Obi-Wan received this Cad Bane in their shipment. Clearly a mix up and select Amazon distribution centers.
GameStop is now taking preorders for the Black Series Rocket Launcher Trooper and Battle Droid Gaming Greats figures.
Hasbro has announced two new Black Series Gaming Greats figures in their lead up to Hasbro Pulse Con. A Battle Droid from Republic Commando and a Rocket Launcher Trooper from Jedi Fallen Order. If you look closely at the packaging mural artwork for the Battle Droid, you may catch a glimpse of an arm for the final Delta Squad member. Look for these to go up for preorder on September 15 at 11am ET.

We’ve received various reports around the U.S. of the Target exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett (Morak) figures hitting stores. The figure is not street dated so if you happen across one, you should be able to get out no problem — if you can look past the “Boba Tax” that is.
Images have now surfaced of the upcoming convention exclusive Black Series ROTJ 40th Anniversary Admiral Ackbar figure – complete with Kenner-insired deco and baton. Look for details on availability outside of the MCM London Comic Con (October 28-November 1) soon.
