I came across a new code name this week at Target and Walmart for a Black Series item designated “Rushmore“. It’s price is higher than the current MSRP for mainline ($24.99) and deluxe ($33.99) figures at $44.99 so I speculate that this could be for the upcoming Luke Skywalker and Grogu Build Up Pack that was pipelined at the Hasbro Fanstream in February. Of it could be something else entirely. We will update once more is known.
Retailer Toyhideout has posted some in-hand images of upcoming products from the Vintage and Retro Collections. Hopefully these start making there way to online retailers soon!
Today we’ve acquired a new Deluxe Vintage Collection code name for 2023: “Bliss”. Price is (currently) comparable to other Deluxe TVC at $27.99 each, no word on whom it may be quite yet.
We’ve added this to the updated 2023 Master List for future reference.

Get ready for Mando Mania Pick up new Star Wars collectibles at Target every Wednesday starting 3/15 & get ready to navigate the galaxy of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. (Limit 2 per item per order.)
Today we have a follow up to our rumor report from October 2022 regarding the code name and pricepoint of the Vintage Collection Mandalorian’s N-1 Naboo Starfighter. I’ve been able to confirm the code name is indeed “Bridgeport” and I’ve also found a pricepoint (U.S.) for $131.99 – a bit lower than what I had approximated back then. No word when we’ll be able to see an actual product/render but the sure money is at Star Wars Celebration in April.
Update: The vehicle does include one as-of-yet unnamed figure so hopefully that softens the blow somewhat for those that consider the price to be too high for just a vehicle
Not one to leave a repaint oppportunity on the table, some digging today has turned up info for a potential Black Series Axe Woves Electronic Helmet for sometime this year. Pricing should be inline with the current helmet offerings in the $130 range.
