The rumored GameStop Exclusive 6” Black Series Clone Commander Fox has been revealed via spragooprod on Reddit. The figure was briefly available for in store preorder but was quickly removed as part of the secrecy of the Triple Force Friday launch. Look for this figure in stores tomorrow in limited quantities.
Guest spot number 2 this week as I joined the guys at Galaxy of Toys to discuss some of the latest Triple Force Friday news as well as our top figures we’d like to see in the Vintage Collection.
In this episode we are once again joined by Jayson at Yakface.com to discuss recent Star Wars collecting news, as well as give our picks on our most wanted Star Wars The Vintage Collection figures from Hasbro.
While browsing the Star Wars landing page on Target.com I noticed a curious group of figures in one of the banners promoting their Triple Force Friday launch. It features Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training), Yoda and Darth Vader and that Luke figure definitely appears to have a photo reveal face.
Does this image confirm our rumor last week of a Vintage Collection “Darth Vader’s Challenge” set? We should know soon enough.

Interestingly, the Wedge Antilles was solicited as being from “E5”, but there have been a lot of source designation mix ups from Hasbro in both the Black Series and Vintage Collection.

Surprise! The exclusive 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Skywalker Strikes) figure is now available for purchase on HasbroPulse.com
Thanks to all who notified us.
Update: Sold Out
Update 2: Hasbro Pulse has just sent an update regarding orders, it reads:
Thank you for your recent order of E5291STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES LUKE SKYWALKER (SKYWALKER STRIKES) Figure.
Please note that your order is confirmed, but this item will not be shipping until November 4, 2019. We apologize for any inconvenience. Should you wish to cancel your order, please contact us and we’ll issue a full refund.
For those looking to keep track of their purchases for Triple Force Friday, we have now made available our downloadable Unofficial Product Checklist. This is version 1.0 so if there are any further/major developments between now and October 3, we will post a revision.
The other day I managed to purchase a few new items at Target (they were not register blocked nor did I resort to any trickery or sweet talking) one of which was the new 5” Galaxy of Adventures Darth Vader. Above is a quick size comparison showing how this new line measures up with others. For $10 and with as much articulation as a TVC or TBS figure, this line is pretty nice.
Another small tidbit is that there currently is no location shown on Target’s planogram for the Vintage Collection Poe’s X-wing Fighter for their aisle reset for Triple Force Friday.
