Retro Rumor Report: Another Possible Amazon Exclusive Discovered?

A listing on Amazon UK reveals another unannounced Retro Collection item with code name “End“. The recently announced Retro Collection Bounty Hunter 2pk had the code name “Center“. No price is listed but it does show a release date of September 1, 2022 and dimensions of 30mm x 226mm x 229mm (roughly 1″ x 9″ x 11.75”) – so it’s a different format from the two pack. Coincidentally, the Target exclusive Retro Collection “Eraser” Prototype figure also has a Sept. 1 street date.

Thanks to Mark T. for the heads-up.

Target Exclusive Carbonized Shoretrooper Dump

Target stores in the Midwest are starting to receive the exclusive Carbonized Shoretroopers – some in ridiculous quantities. The above images are from stores in Sun Prairie, WI and Chaska, MN. It’s baffling to comprehend why stores would get this much of a single product while most stores are starved for regular mainline products, let alone exclusives. Meanwhile, preorders are set to process for this figure as well as Paz Vizsla and Scout Trooper on Feb. 27.

Thanks to Adam and Jairo for the images.

Retro Rumor Report: Who Is the Next Prototype Edition Figure?

2022 will continue Target’s annual trend started in 2019 of offering an exclusive Retro Collection Prototype Edition figure. So far, we have Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Imperial Stormtrooper – question is: who will be next? Precedent shows that it will most certainly utilize an existing mold and with the 2021 Stormtrooper having a colored weapon (one of 6 variants), I have a strong feeling that for 2022 we will see Chewbacca (with colored bowcaster) join in the multicolor madness.

Let it be stated, I have zero confirmation that it will be Chewie – just a feeling – but after some recent investigating in Target’s system, I do have strong evidence there is a new Prototype Edition figure code named “Eraser” for $13.99.

You may recall, based on our previous report, that Boba Fett had the code name “Chalk” and the Stormtrooper had the code name “Blackboard”, so “Eraser” fits rather nicely into this naming and pricing convention.

Obviously, no official information is known yet, so this is all speculation and rumor until then.

TVC Rumor Report: Another Deluxe TVC Exclusive?

Even though the blood isn’t dry on the last exclusive debacle with Target, this morning I did find evidence of another potential exclusive in their system. “Lawrence” is the code name for the as-of-yet unidentified item, but we do know the price ($26.49) and it falls in-line with the Walmart exclusive carded Deluxe TVC Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis) “expression”.
