It sounds like we can expect another wave of 3.75″ Retro Collection figures in the coming months. No word (officially), but with the richness of characters who debuted in season 2, that is probably a good bet.
A couple months ago, we reported on the discovery of an exclusive Vintage Collection figure listing at Target, code named “Periwinkle“. Additional searching has turned up two more with code names “Violet” and “Mauve“. All 3 of these have unique in-store DPCIs and retail for $13.99 each. There is currently no street date or expected arrival listed. I have heard rumblings of who these figures are but I am waiting for additional info to confirm them definitively. Stay tuned.

It appears that there is at least one more Retro Collection item planned for this year. A search last night turned up results for an item called “SW RETRO BLACKBOARD” and it’s currently shipping to the U.S.. As you may recall, the recent Target exclusive Prototype Edition Boba Fett has the code name “SW RETRO CHALK” – it is unknown if this is a figure or other item like the previous games with a figure pack-in. Maybe we’ll hear about it tomorrow at Hasbro Fan First Wednesday.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has launched preorders for a new, exclusive Jumbo Kenner Grand Moff Tarkin figure from Gentle Giant.
Walmart’s newest wave of exclusive TVC figures are now shipping via online orders. However, it seems it may be difficult to find cardbacks in pristine condition once again thanks to Walmart’s handling of their product.
Plus, be very careful with the Tusken Raider’s right hand… seems many copies of the figure suffer from the joint being fused, which means these may easily snap.
Hasbro has finally gotten around to announcing another Fan First Day which will be held next week on Wed. Sept. 8 at 11am ET. Watch for some new announcement, reveals and preorders to go up the following day.
