Collectors are in for a big couple days starting tomorrow at 11ET as Hasbro kicks off their I AM YOUR FATHER’S DAYLivestream on YouTube. As we’ve been teasing for a few weeks there are a lot of reveals expected for both The Black Series and The Vintage Collection. Like some previous events, reveals will happen tomorrow with preorders launching the following day (Thursday). Without spilling all the beans, we are pretty certain of the Black Series offerings (Archive and Rogue One reissues), TVC collectors should be pleasantly surprised (although many seem perpetually indignant) with the number of reveals.
Confirming many of our previous reports, Hasbro has revealed several new Mission Fleet sets from The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars hitting shelves later this year.
GameStop’s warehouse in Texas has started to receive shipments of the Vintage Collection Gaming Greats figures including the Shadow Stormtrooper, Heavy Battle Droid and Scout Trooper
GameStop’s warehouse in Texas has started to receive shipments of the exclusive 6” Black Series Flametrooper (Gaming Greats). Orders should begin processing in the next few weeks.
As a follow up to our report last week of 19 new Black Series codes being found, I was able to locate a corresponding listing in Target’s system. Based on the price, it is a good assumption that the figure code named “Lunge” is another Target Exclusive. No word as to which character it may be or its availability but we will update when we learn more.
I have also received info/skus for 3 Convention Exclusives releases. It is assumed they are for this year and a mix of Black Series and TVC as they aren’t coded with either designation and are simply labeled Convention Exclusive 1, 2 and 3.
