The newest case assortment (E7763) of the Vintage Collection has started to arrive in Canada warehouses. This assortment contains Clone Commander Wolffe, K-2SO, Power Droid and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper).
I know some portion of the collector base for the Vintage Collection (and 3.75″ scale in general) is frustrated with the lack of new reveals during yesterday’s Hasbro Fan First Monday livestream. I agree to some extent considering what we know (or at least know is rumored) is coming. Hasbro has clearly heard the outpouring of demand for more “heritage scale” figures.
I hope I can give a bit of positivity based on things I’ve uncovered and revealed over the past few hours/days/weeks/months. Between now and sometime in 2021, there are OVER 30 unannounced TVC products (that I know of) in the works by Hasbro. It is unknown however how much of this is “all new” but knowing that there are over two dozen products coming over the next year is a nice thought – at least to me. Additional code names to be posted when I can release them. All hope is not lost.

Some additional digging has potentially revealed a significant detail on the rumored Mandalorian Build-Up Pack we shared last week. According to Walmart’s system, this is a VINTAGE COLLECTION set, not a Black Series item — unless there are 2 separate items with the same name, that Australian distributor was wrong, or Walmart’s system is wrong. More info to come as we learn more.
Another bit of TVC news today. Three more new TVC figure listings have turned up in the Walmart system, this time, coded with gem names: “Sapphire”, “Emerald” and “Diamond”. No indication as to whom they might represent. The pricing is a bit weird for these but it may just be preliminary for the early listing. Again , no indication on availability or exclusivity.
Once again, thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
UPDATE: I have also added “VIN RUBY” to the list.
Thanks to some intel from WalmartGhost, it looks like there will be an the Incinerator TrooperTVC figure from The Mandalorian coming in the near future. No word on availability or exclusivity as of yet.
Sponsor DorksideToys has passed along final carded images for the upcoming Clone Commander Wolffe, Power Droid and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) figures from The Vintage Collection. As you can see, the fit and finish of the bubbles and the trays now reflect what we’ll see when these ship out to collectors and hit stores.
Yesterday, I teased the reveal of a bit of forthcoming Vintage Collection (TVC) news and now that I’ve some time, here it is. Five new TVC listings have turned up in Walmart’s system* . Interestingly, a new code naming theme has been introduced with this wave with the names of oceans. “Atlantic”, “Pacific”, “Indian”, and “Arctic”. The fifth name looks familiar as the “Omega” name (from The Mandalorian) has turned up in our prior Black Series rumor report. It’s a pretty safe bet that they are the same character, the question is, who is it?
*Note: these are NOT Walmart exclusives.
