For TVC collectors eagerly awaiting the Ahsoka wave, Hasbro’s distribution center is receiving large shipments of retail case assortments as well as solid cases of each figure.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for the Kotobukiya ARTFX Captain Rex 1:7 Scale Statue. Leaping right from the screen of the final season of The Clone Wars, the Captain Rex statue combines with the Ahsoka Tano 1:7 Scale Statue (sold separately) to recreate their harrowing escape from Order 66!
We’ve read and have been receiving reports of the newest wave of Vintage Collection figures (Ahsoka, ARC Trooper Echo, Offworld Jawa) has started hitting Target including stores in Maryland, North Carolina and Florida. Let us know if you find them as well.
Thanks to Joseph G. for the image (and for picking these up for me).
Thanks to some in-hand packaging shots from a Facebook member, we now have the VC numbers for Wave 7 of the Vintage Collection. They breakdown as follow:
ARC Trooper Echo – VC176
Darth Maul (Mandalore) – VC201
Ahsoka Tano (Mandalore) – VC202
Offworld Jawa (Arvala-7) – VC203
It’s nice to have that 176 gap officially filled after the error of issuing the two Walmart Exclusive TVC figures – Din Djarin and The Child and the Incinerator Stormtrooper the VC177 designation. Now the question is: Who is VC200?
The Disney Store exclusive series of Star Wars Toybox figures continues on with a new set revealed recently – Ahsoka Tank and Captain Rex. These should be available online and in-store in the coming weeks here in the US.

Collectors have been anxiously awaiting some sort of update on the official release/preorder of the Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Battalion Clone Trooper announced last week. So here’s a “non-update” update: as of today, Walgreens still doesn’t have this in their system – neither online nor in-store.
If we use the last Walgreens exclusive as a guide, the 6″ Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant never went up for preorder either. It was leaked on August 18, 2020, officially announced on August 21, and then went online for purchase (not preorder) a month later on September 18. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened for the new 212th Clone Trooper.
Our friends at TheFwoosh alert us to 3 new store exclusive Black Series going up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm EDT. Figures include:
Crosshair (Imperial) from The Bad Batch – Walmart
Captain Rex from The Bad Batch – Walmart
212th Battalion Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars – Walgreens
Confirming many of our previous reports, Hasbro has revealed several new Mission Fleet sets from The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars hitting shelves later this year.
