Target Updates Release Date for Several Outstanding Preorders
Target has finally updated some of their open ended release dates for various Black Series and Vintage Collection preorders. I look we can expect to see movement on TVC Axe Woves, TVC Boba Fett (Morak), TBS Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis), and the TBS Dark Trooper on October 2.
Stock, Sell, Restock, Sell, Restock…
For the first time in recent memory, I’m seeing a Star Wars Hasbro wave consistently selling and then getting restocked… and selling again. Are you experiencing this in your area? And how far down the Retro Collection rabbit hole do you want to see Hasbro go?
Personal Note: I’m still just lukewarm to the Retro line. It’s a novelty to me, and I pick and choose a few figures here and there. My preference is for the standard TVC line (though I would be interested in a mid-tier line that has modern sculpts, with 10-12 pts of articulation, and a lot more variety than what is offered today). However if the Retro line continues to gain momentum, it’s hard to see Hasbro deviating from this approach anytime soon.
Target Exclusive TVC Boba Fett (Morak) Hitting Stores
We’ve received various reports around the U.S. of the Target exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett (Morak) figures hitting stores. The figure is not street dated so if you happen across one, you should be able to get out no problem — if you can look past the “Boba Tax” that is.
TBS Rumor Report: 3 Deluxe Black Series 40th Anniversary Figures?
Doing some additional investigating regarding the Deluxe Black Series figures for the 40th Anniversary for Return of the Jedi, I not only came across the price of $33.99 each (regular ROTJ40 figures are $24.99) but I believe, based on the store code, found a third deluxe item. No word what character it may be yet, but there is a pretty short list of who it may be if it’s a repack. A third deluxe may also indicate a third wave as well.
