It’s still early in the return of TVC, but it appears as though we really could start seeing a resurgance with this line now that Walmart stores are starting to get in both Wave 2 and Wave 3 of TVC this month… but keep in mind, Target shoppers might be in for a dry spell with all the Wave 1 pegwarmers they are sitting on (thanks to the bad decision to repack so many figures in the first wave).
On any note, good luck on those toy runs and hopefully the disparaging times many 3.75″ collectors have been feeling for the past few years will soon be a thing of the past.
Twitter follower @jermader reports finding the Walmart Exclusive Vintage Collection Imperial TIE Fighter ($79) at Walmart in New Castle, Indiana. Use UPC/SKU 630509722822/954713757 to check your area.
For those that keep track of these things whether for cataloguing or product tracking, we’ve added the UPCs for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Archive figures to our Master List of products. As you recall, Hasbro officially announced at SDCC 2018 that the Archive assortment would take popular/in demand Black Series figures and reissues them with slight updates like Photo Real technology (where applicable). These figures will be blister carded.
The 6″ Black Series Dewback with Sandtrooper is starting to hit clearance prices for $45 and down to $30 in some areas. Check your local Walmarts for potential bargains.

The 6″ Target Exclusive Moloch from Solo: A Star Wars Story has started to hit Target. Thanks to Don from Glendale, CA for the image. Also found in San Bernardino and San Diego.
The hunt continues for new and as-of-yet unannounced merchandise. Further digging has revealed two new mystery Hasbro action figures at the $49.99 price point. “Star Wars Rey Action Figure” and “Star Wars Darth Vader Action Figure”. These are not the $49.99 Black Series Centerpiece figures judging by their respective UPCs. We’ve added the pertinent info to our UPC/DPCI/SKU Master List Page at the bottom of the Black Series section. (Their placement there doesn’t confirm or imply that these are Black Series related products.)
As always, rumors of unannounced products may change or be cancelled altogether at anytime.
UPDATE: According to Amazon, the packaging 2.6″x9″x11″ – interestingly, that is (nearly) the same dimensions as the Captain America/Crossbones 2 pk of Marvel Legends 6″ figures. Time will tell I guess.
HasLab has issued an update to backers of the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge.
