Hasbro has revealed the previously pipelined Black Series R5-D4, BD-72 and Pit Droids 4pk. from The Mandalorian. The set reissues/repaints the BD and pit droids we’ve received before and R5-D4 looks to be the same as the recent release but now with new rocket booster accessories. MSRP states $49.99, but Target’s system currently lists it as $44.99.
The Target DPCIs for both TVC assortments (E7763 and F6878) are both now at $0.00. There currently is no general DPCI for the Vintage Collection in their system and no allotted pegs for them in their most recent aisle update. It is unknown if this is a temporary hiatus or “resting” of the line at Target.
I managed to secure a couple sets of the Target exclusive Retro Collection The Phantom Menace 6pk this morning from my store. A great set with 6 all new sculpts in the style of Kenner’s original Star Wars line. These are expected on shelf March 31, they are not register locked.
Price: $59.99 / DPCI: 087-26-0591

Based on some checking I’ve done at Target, it appears that my local store is receiving the exclusive Retro Collection The Phantom Menace 6pk the week of March 19. That is not necessarily the street date or expected release date so your store availability may vary. This news follows up our report that these sets have started to arrive in the U.S. based on recent shipping info.
