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.

The ROTJ40 Black Series Boba Fett is now down to $23.79 on Amazon.
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

Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
