Hat tip to Hasbro and their team for advertising the nostalgia and world-building scope of the Vintage Collection on Amazon. The layout gives very strong mini-catalog vibes from a long time ago, in a collecting era far, far away.
They are also showcasing the Black Series to promote its premium design & poseability as well as the collectible nature of its packaging, all while offering “something for every fan”.
It was only a matter of time but Target has moved their Vintage Collection prices in line with MSRP and are now ringing out at $19.99 (previously $16.99). Congrats to those who were able to score this wave before the increase.

Update: Adding press release images for TBS Fan Channel wave. No other imagery is available yet.
All of the images had been archived, but in the process of restoring them, I’ve taken this opportunity to clean up some photos a bit here and there similar to a “Special Edition” approach. For the most part, updates are minor but are more expressive of ideas and scenery. The stories remain unchanged.
You can refresh on the series or check out the full series for the first time through a consolidated index by clicking here or through the thumbnails below.
Reports are coming in regarding new Vintage Collection figures hitting Target stores in the central U.S. including Kansas, Texas and Minnesota. Most Targets are resetting aisles this week so your best chance at finding them is now. As a bonus, Target is still charging g $16.99 for TVC. Good luck on your searches. (087-26-2374)
