For those who held out hope for a deal on the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon, now’s the time. Target is offering 25% off one toy through their Target Circle program until November 21 – and if you’re a Red Card holder you can get an additional 5% off. Offer is valid in-store and online.
Target is now taking preorders for the 6″ Black Series Commander Pyre and R5-P8 Galaxy’s Edge figures.
If you follow us on social media, you may have caught this hint from us from about a month ago. It looks like we will be receiving a 6″ Black Series set featuring the Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike from The Mandalorian. Also included in this set is the satchel and The Child plus, what appears to be the small power generator that the two scouts used as target practice. This set should be around $49.99 and may be exclusive to Target.
Update: this may be an Amazon exclusive.
As a follow up to our exclusive report from Aug 19, a couple independent, anonymous sources have indicated that the next wave of Retro Collection figures will be from The Mandalorian. Nothing is confirmed until Hasbro announces it, of course, or they are found in stores (which ever comes first).
UPDATE: Figures in the assortment will include The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, The Child, Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, IG-11 and Kuiil and are NOT EXCLUSIVE to Walmart.
UPDATE 2: Today I found the DPCI (087-16-7465) info for this assortment at Target, further supporting the news that these are not exclusives to Walmart.
Thanks to an image from Instagram follower @starwarspoodoo we have our first look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Range Trooper (Holiday Edition) figure. There have been a few rumored TBS figures for the holidays but I don’t think many are prepared for this. Based on the social media responses I’ve received after posting this, they are overwhelmingly positive. I believe this is the Target Exclusive version priced at $24.99 and includes the Santa-esque Range Trooper, a Rudolph the red nosed reindeer inspired D-O and some icy weaponry.
It’s unknown if we will see this officially revealed tomorrow.
Today, Lucasfilm has officially announced Mando Monday and with it a slew of new (albeit previously rumored/leaked) products from Hasbro, Funko and more. Below you can find the links to the rumored Credit Collection of Black Series figure with decos based on their artwork from The Mandalorian and a card design emulating the Vintage Kenner packaging. Each figure also includes a “Credit” from the series – a pack-in calling back to the days of Power of the Force. Preorders open at 4pm ET for $24.99 each. (Heavy Mando is $34.99).

Back in June, there was word that a deluxe “build up” pack was headed to the Black Series line for The Mandalorian. Later that month, additional info came to light which was thought to clarify that listing as being for the Vintage Collection. I received a new UPC over the weekend to research and found this morning that it is listed at Target as “STAR WARS MANDO BUILD UP PACK” and confirms the original report of it being for The Black Series. The price on this set is $34.99 and the DPCI is shown above in the image. So, it appears that we are in fact getting TWO Mandalorian build up packs – one for TBS and one for TVC.
Obviously, no official word on availability, but since it’s not showing in various other systems in the U.S., it may be a Target Exclusive.
It appears that the second reissue wave of Vintage Collection will hit big box stores in the U.S. after all as Twitter follower James M. reports finding them at Target in Brea, CA today.
It looks like there is a third 6″ Black Series “Holiday Trooper” coming soon from Hasbro. Checking my usual resources, it shows that dozens of cases of “SW BL HOLIDAY TROOPER 2” are currently en route to the U.S.. This mystery trooper joins the Walmart Holiday Trooper 5 discovered back in June and the Star Wars Holiday Trooper that was rooted out from Target system a couple weeks ago. Price for all 3 of them are about $25 each.
Target stores began putting their new Galaxy’s Edge product out today (new end caps set up in many instances). I picked up most of what I wanted, and saw several other collectors grabbing some new goodies as well.
Did you go out this morning looking for the new product at your local Target? Were you successful or did you come back disappointed? Let us know in the comments here or in our forums, and happy toy hunting!
