Preorders are “scheduled” to open for the Target Exclusive TVC Boba Fett (Kenner Deco) and Walmart Exclusive TVC ARC Commander Colt at 1pm ET. They may be up before, after, or right on time.
Update: TVC Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) now available on Amazon (affiliate link)
Update 2: TVC Boba Fett (Kenner Deco) has been pushed back until Wed. 11/16 at 1pm ET.
Bring Home the Galaxy campaign on StarWars.com has revealed a new Vintage Collection Boba Fett but this time in classic Kenner deco. Preorders for this Target exclusive Wed., Nov 9 at 1pm ET.
Twitter follower Petty L. pointed out to me that the Target excluisve Retro Collection Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder) Prototype Edition figure has received a price increase from $10.99 to $14.99. Maybe it was priced wrong from the start or it’s part of the recent price increases hitting the SW brand. Preorders at the original price should still be honored.
It’s been a few months since we’ve done one of these but here is a (another) list of approximately 90 outstanding preorders (U.S. only) accumulated so far for Vintage Collection, Retro Collection and Black Series items. If you’ve preordered (at least one of) everything, the list is substantial in length and price*.
Note: a couple of these items have been found at retail but for the most part, order fulfillment is still pending.

It looks like the Target exclusive Retro Collection (Prototype Edition) series will continue on into 2023. Like the school codes before it (“Chalk“, “Blackboard“, “Eraser” and “Sharpener“), “Lowercase” continues the theme and has a price point of $14.99. Question is, who will it be? I think Leia is about due for the subline as we’ve gotten 3 villains and 2 heroes, and no female characters thus far, but I guess we’ll see when it’s officially revealed.
The newest exclusives from the Andor series have started to hit retail as the Black Series Shoretrooper has surfaced at Target in Scottsdale, AZ.

Target is now taking preorders for the Black Series Clone Trooper (Halloween Edition) figure.
As we recently reported, Target’s exclusive TBS Mandalorian and Grogu is showing up in stores, and is currently listed as in stock here.
Personal Note: For a variety of reasons, I personally walked away from Hasbro’s TBS line over the summer, and pricing was definitely one of the factors. I decided that moving forward, I’d only purchase items from this line if there was something that I could repurpose for the 3.75″ lineup.
Even though this is an exclusive deluxe set, when I saw this in-store, I had forgotten just how expensive this set would be, which made me hesitate to make the purchase. So, I basically just dropped $40 for a white plastic spider.
For those that are collecting this line, what are your intentions? Fully support this one, or wait to see if you luck out on clearance?
