This past weekend there were plans to show another TVC vehicle at one of the conventions but it was pulled from reveals at the last minute. As evidence of this fact, BBTS had the “Duckboat” listing as part of their preorder email newsletter announcement this morning (shown above) but it currently directs to a dead link.
Without revealing the full details to protect my source(s), I can say that this is the TVC vehicle from The Mandalorian for 2020 that has been on our list for a few months and it’s “Imperial” in nature. No word yet as to when it will be officially revealed or available for preorder.
A mysterious listing for C-3PO has surfaced in Target’s system. We do know that this figure is tied directly to the current Vintage Collection assortment’s DPCI (087-16-2097) so it also makes it a general release item, and not an exclusive. There are currently no details regarding newness or what film it may be sourced.
Here is something a bit weird. There is an image swirling around on Facebook of a 6″ Black Series “Collector Mystery Box” that has surfaced in stockrooms of Target. The box is all black with the Star Wars Black Series Logo and shrinkwrapped with an “Only at Target” sticker.
Hopefully we’ll have more details soon.
Update: Price is $39.99
Update 2: Box includes a Mystery figure, a hat, a pin, and a comic book and the box has a First Order sigil on the back.
Back in June, we exclusively reported on a mystery Vintage Collection vehicle from The Mandalorian was coming soon. Based on yesterday’s reveals and cross referencing the product number against shipping manifest info, I can confirm that the vehicle formerly referred to as “Huckleberry Hoodboat” is the Best Buy Exclusive AT-ST Raider.
This vehicle was listed on shipping manifests starting on Sept 14, so they should be at Best Buy for Triple Force Friday.
As we get ever closer to the official reveals of many rumored and confirmed products heading to shelves and online stores for Triple Force Friday, I thought I’d drop this discovery that I just made. There is a new Vintage Collection item currently on the way to the US called “Vader’s Challenge”. No word yet on contents, price or who will be carrying it but details will follow as they are available.
Today’s sleuthing of shipping records as has revealed that figures which we’ve previously rumored are currently headed to the US.
These coded characters names include: “Bruges Red – Metallic” – Sith Trooper (TROS)* “Bruges Rocket – Pearl” – First Order Jet Trooper? (TROS)* “E6 Luke Skywalker” – Luke Skywalker (ROTJ)
*The metallic and pearl designations should refer to a special deco and packaging combination for each figure.
Last week we exclusively revealed that there is another 6″ Black Series figure from The Mandalorian en route to the US., and after some additional digging today, I’ve been able to confirm that the character code named “BOBBY” is IG-11.
A character code name has been holding out on being deciphered since we started uncovering them back in February. Our digging has accurately confirmed them all thus far, but “BOSTON” has eluded us — until now. Click on through to check out the list of all that we have deciphered so far plus the reveal of this new figure’s possible identity.
It appears that Target will be receiving an exclusive 6″ Black Series figure for the launch of merchandise on Triple Force Friday. An entry in their system lists a figure “Huck1 Copper” with a price point of $24.99. Based on what we know on code names, this is The Mandalorian and based on the leaked “Graphite” version of the Second Sister Inquisitor, the figure and packaging will probably feature a copper-like finish as well. For those keeping track, this will make another known variant joining Graphite, Pearl, and Red Metallic.
One more reveal for today as I also found an entry for a new 6″ Black Series figure from The Mandalorian codenamed “Bobby”. No clue as to who this is yet but it should be expected soon as it too is headed to the US as you read this.
