It looks like the newest wave of Black Series figures (yet to be officially announced by Hasbro) is starting to hit Target. Wave 31 was found at Target in Portland, OR via Kevin T. over on the Star Wars Modern Figure Collectors Facebook group.
Maybe Hasbro will get around to letting preorders open for this wave.
Chalk up another instance of Hasbro getting total scooped on new product announcements as retailer Hobbybase has posted the full case breakdown of the next wave of Black Series figures — including the first look at Fennec Shand from The Book of Boba Fett
As if last weekend’s reveals, yesterday’s reveals and today’s preorders weren’t enough, Hasbro gave Pulse Premium Members an inside look at Hasbro HQ and debuted our first looks at 4 new Black Series figures: the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper, Omega, Echo and Bib Fortuna. No preorders were made available (nor date given) for these, despite other brands getting new items, and there was nothing for the Vintage Collection shown off.
Hopefully you caught our social media notifications and announcements via Twitter, Instagram and Patreon as (per usual) Target and Hasbro resorted to a 3am ET product drop (on a Sunday) for the exclusive Vintage Collection Antoc Merrick’s X-wing. It lasted about 35-40 minutes.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has opened new preorders (including exclusives) for several new Mandalorian related products and more from Funko, LoungeFly and Picnic Time. Items include:

It appears that the Rogue One selection of characters for Black Series will continue expand into 2022 as JediInsider has posted the rumor of an upcoming Saw Gerrera deluxe figure. Maybe we’ll hear something official next month at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Until recently, the Target exclusive TVC Antoc Merrick’s X-wing Fighter was hidden behind the code name “Analog” as we exclusively reported last week. This change may indicate an imminent preorder launch – possibly for Target’s month-long Fall Geek-Out in September. Until then, you can bookmark this page as that is where this item will appear on Target.com
Update: The page is now live on Target.com
We’ve been able to acquire the code name, DPCI, and TCIN for the upcoming Target Exclusive Vintage Collection Rogue One Antoc Merrick’s X-wing Fighter coming later this year.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assistance.
Today, Hasbro revealed via Instagram the packaging for both the TVC Rogue One Antoc Merrick X-wing Fighter as well as the carded pack-in Antoc Merrick figure. Look for this to be available exclusively at Target (US) later this year.
According to a few Amazon AU listings, it looks like we can expect the release of a few of the announced “pipeline” Black Series figures on or around November 1, 2021. Figures include Boba Fett (Tython), Migs Mayfeld (Morak) and the Stormtrooper (Jedha Patrol).
