Vintage Collection rumor news has been light as of late but hopefully that will start to change as we approach SDCC and other summer/fall conventions. Today, I was able to acquire some new TVC code names that will likely be for some product set for sometime in 2024. At this time, I’m not sure if they are part of the same wave but they should all be mainline releases. These 6 names have been added to our Master List and once I have more info to share, I will do so.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking individual preorders for Vintage Collection Darth Vader, Han Solo and Weequay from Return of the Jedi.
The full case assortment including Clone Captain Howzer, and Tusken Warrior can also still be ordered with an estimated August 2023 arrival.
Recent shipping data shows that the Vintage Collection Deluxe Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett has started to arrive in the U.S. Order fulfillment date is/was estimated to be December of this year but it will likely be sooner. No word as to which retailer(s) may get their shipment first.
Hasbro Pulse has (finally) added some newer Vintage Collection figures to their site with the inclusion of Hunter, Admiral Piett, Clone Troopper (Phase II Armor) and Starkiller (Vader’s Apprentice).
Today’s marks the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi and what better time to drop new Vintage Collection and Black Series items that were previewed months ago? Hasbro, at the time, claimed there would be no preorders for these items, but for weeks, I’ve tracked the arrival of the figures shown above to distribution centers in the U.S.. One would hope that Hasbro/Lucasfilm could generate some synergy for today’s ROTJ milestone and offer a “See Now, Buy Now” type event with online retailers. The day is still young, but sadly I don’t hold much hope that this will actually happen.
Note: this pertains to the U.S. only as some other countries have allowed orders on some/all of these.
Target has started to issue approval requests for the exclusive Deluxe Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker & Grogu Set as it has pushed back from July 23 to October 1.

Recent shipping data shows that the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room is starting to arrive in the U.S.
