As a follow to our report from a week ago, it looks like those who were lucky enough to get their orders processed and filled from DeepDiscount.com can be on the lookout for your $42 TVC Poe Xwings soon. Instagram follower AJ Red 7 reports getting his today thanks to our post informing him of the deal.
For collectors that still may need this, it looks like DeepDiscount.com has the TVC Poe Dameron X-wing for only $39.10 (61% off). I’ve not ordered from them before so I can’t speak to their reliability but that is a steal none the less. Free shipping too on orders over $25.00.
Prizes include 6″ TBS Sith Trooper, 6″ TBS Boba Fett, TVC Luke Skywalker Jedi Destiny set and the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge! See this link for full details.

This coming weekend, Hasbro will be having their annual off-site presentation for Toy Fair 2020 in New York. Things have been quiet on the rumor front for the Vintage Collection for a while but hopefully we get official confirmations of some past and newly rumored items for the line. Recently, a Nebraska specialty retailer leaked word of possible update to the previous Amazon exclusive TVC Slave I, there’s also the long-standing rumor of a certain Bespin playset in the cards for 2020. A little Bothan told me that we may even see the reveal of 6 “new” TVC figures that represent characters from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. These rumored figures are a mix of all new sculpts, repaints as well as repacks of recently released figures.
After our report this morning, Instagram follower Venamis reports finding the Mandalorian TVC figure in California.
UPDATE: also found in Houston, TX (image in comments)
Mike G. reports via the JediBusiness B/S/T Facebook Group finding the newest wave of Vintage Collection figures at his local Walmart in Fredrick, MD.
