A couple months ago, we reported on the discovery of an exclusive Vintage Collection figure listing at Target, code named “Periwinkle“. Additional searching has turned up two more with code names “Violet” and “Mauve“. All 3 of these have unique in-store DPCIs and retail for $13.99 each. There is currently no street date or expected arrival listed. I have heard rumblings of who these figures are but I am waiting for additional info to confirm them definitively. Stay tuned.
It appears that there is at least one more Retro Collection item planned for this year. A search last night turned up results for an item called “SW RETRO BLACKBOARD” and it’s currently shipping to the U.S.. As you may recall, the recent Target exclusive Prototype Edition Boba Fett has the code name “SW RETRO CHALK” – it is unknown if this is a figure or other item like the previous games with a figure pack-in. Maybe we’ll hear about it tomorrow at Hasbro Fan First Wednesday.
In what seems like another lifetime, Hasbro months ago announced via thier “Pipeline Reveals” that Cobb Vanth would be coming to the Black Series line. We’ve heard in recent weeks that he will be released as a Deluxe figure (similar to ROTJ Boba Fett, Jar Jar and Wrecker) and will now be coming sometime in 2022.
It looks like we can expect another 6″ Black Series Build Up Pack from The Mandalorian along the lines of last year’s Din Djarin and The Child set which was exclusive to Target. No word on exclusivity for this set but it’s tentively scheduled for October 2021 in some markets outside of the U.S. We will post an update when we learn more.
While poking around at the Target price checkers today, I stumbled across a new listing which looks to be another Black Series exclusive. Code named “Libra”, this figure is priced inline with the recent exclusives for $26.49. Obviously no indication who this character may be as of yet.
Thanks to an Instagram post from professiorbtoyshop, it appears that there is a Black Series Cantina Set of sorts which may be one of the SDCC/Hasbro Pulse Exclusives which we reported on back in May.
This set features an(other) Obi-Wan Kenobi with photoreal likeness as well as two new figures Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan and a portion of the cantina’s bar and dispensery. This potential set is in keeping with how Hasbro has released figures in the past like last year’s Heroes of Endor Set since we know (unofficially) that both “Walrusman” and “Roofoo” are coming in the standard Black Series line later this year.
I received some information yesterday from a few different sources corroborating some of the existing code names we have for Black Series with some rumored figures we’ve shared as well. Click on through for the details and when we may expect them.

A couple new Black Series codes have been found this evening. “Spoon” and “Fork” are the latest mystery figures to join our ever-growing list of upcoming figures for this year. It is unknown who these figures are at the moment but they do ship individually in cases of 8, don’t correspond with any existing SKUs I currently have and they have arrived in the U.S..
Mission Fleet will continue to expand as six new listing have been added to our Master List. They include:
Deluxe Sundae*
Ahsoka’s Jedi Starfighter
Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter 2
Moff Gideon’s TIE Fighter
Bo Katan’s Gauntlet Fighter
Luke Skywalker & Grogu
*Could be the code for the Razor Crest that we already reported
Today, we have a series of new code names added for our Master List of products. We continue with the addition 17 new Vintage Collection* figure istings in what I suspect are for 2022 release.
Vintage Collection
Bellevue, Bethesda, Carson City, College Park, Ely, Flagstaff, Frederick, Hawthorne, Las Vegas, Mesa, Olympia, Reno, Renton, Richland, Sedona, Tacoma, and Verdi
*It is unknown if any of these items are retailer exclusives.
