Doing some digging this morning, I was able to find a new Vintage Collection code name “Declan” which corresponds to an as-of-yet unannounced playset or vehicle. The dimension of this item (in terms of packaging) seems to be close to previous playsets like the Tantive IV and Carbon Freezing Chamber. If it is a vehicle, the size would most closely correlate to the Imperial Troop Transport. I’ll continue to search the streets for more info and update when possible.
Update: Price is set at $59.99 so I’m going to assume this is a playset
Recent shipping data for the rumored Amazon exclusive Black Series Ahsoka and HK-87 2pk has been updated to remove “Carbonized” from its code name, hopefully making these “gimmick-free” figures. I’d expect/hope the HK87 droid in this set to include better deco and the accurate staff missing from the standard release.
Update: no such luck, they are Carbonized with no extras 🙁
Today we’ve added a few new Vintage Collection code names to our Master List. These 10 look to be spilt across 3 waves, based on their released dates in 2024 (unless some of them are exclusive).
It has been almost a year since we first heard about a potential Black Series Starkiller but it sounds like we can expect an official announcement soon (SDCC). Starkiller (Vader’s Apprentice) fron The Force Unleashed will be the next Gaming Greats figure in the line after General Grievous (Battle Damaged) and, like Cal Kestis, Darth Malak, Bastila Shan, should be a mainline release and in the window packaging.
Vintage Collection rumor news has been light as of late but hopefully that will start to change as we approach SDCC and other summer/fall conventions. Today, I was able to acquire some new TVC code names that will likely be for some product set for sometime in 2024. At this time, I’m not sure if they are part of the same wave but they should all be mainline releases. These 6 names have been added to our Master List and once I have more info to share, I will do so.
A new Vintage Collection item has started to arrive in the U.S. in time for summer convention season. The code “Tiny” is assigned to it and it ships 8 per case. We will surely update if we receive or find any more details.
It looks like Target will be getting another exclusive Black Series item later this year code named “Cabin“. Interesting that the price point is higher than most exclusives like build-up packs or deluxe releases. It is unknown currently what it is exactly but it should be revealed soon.
We’ve added a few more Black Series code names recently to our Master List. It is unknown who these characters but “SPRINT” and “MARATHON” are likely Target exclusives. We will update when we learn more about these and the other codes.
Today we’ve acquired a new Deluxe Vintage Collection code name for 2023: “Bliss”. Price is (currently) comparable to other Deluxe TVC at $27.99 each, no word on whom it may be quite yet.
We’ve added this to the updated 2023 Master List for future reference.
Today we have a follow up to our rumor report from October 2022 regarding the code name and pricepoint of the Vintage Collection Mandalorian’s N-1 Naboo Starfighter. I’ve been able to confirm the code name is indeed “Bridgeport” and I’ve also found a pricepoint (U.S.) for $131.99 – a bit lower than what I had approximated back then. No word when we’ll be able to see an actual product/render but the sure money is at Star Wars Celebration in April.
Update: The vehicle does include one as-of-yet unnamed figure so hopefully that softens the blow somewhat for those that consider the price to be too high for just a vehicle
