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
According to some new Retro Collection code names I have found, there may be a third Retro Collection wave for this year. We know officially that there is the Return of the Jedi wave and we also know of a second wave rumored to be from the Ahsoka series. The source material for this new group of 7 code names is currently unknown but one may guess they could be from The Mandalorian season 3.
We have also come across information for 3 new Target exclusive Black Series figures with code names “Warm”, “Cold, and “Icy”. It is currently unknown who they are or when they’ll be released but given their climate theme, they should all be related from the same source material, and if I had to speculate, they are from The Mandalorian. Each are priced at $27.99.
We’ve added these to the updated 2023 Master List for future reference.
Today we’ve acquired two new Deluxe Vintage Collection code names for figures coming in 2023: “Baytown” and “Bethany”. Priced $27.99 each, one may be Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett, the other is thought to be from a Disney+ series.
We’ve added these to the updated 2023 Master List for future reference.
Update: “Baytown” is Krrsantan
A possible new Target exclusive has surfaced for the Vintage Collection code named “VILLA”. It is unknown what character it may be (another Boba Fett repaint would be a safe bet) or its expected release date.
