Target has finally updated some of their open ended release dates for various Black Series and Vintage Collection preorders. I look we can expect to see movement on TVC Axe Woves, TVC Boba Fett (Morak), TBS Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis), and the TBS Dark Trooper on October 2.
We’ve received various reports around the U.S. of the Target exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett (Morak) figures hitting stores. The figure is not street dated so if you happen across one, you should be able to get out no problem — if you can look past the “Boba Tax” that is.
When it raining, it pours. Recent shipping data shows several Vintage Collection items arriving in the U.S. including: ARC Trooper Jesse, Mandalorian Super Commando (Captain), Mandalorian Death Watch Airborne Trooper, Figrin D’an, 332nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper, Din Djarin (Morak), Clone Trooper 4pk*, R2-D2 (Sensorscope)**, Deluxe Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina)**.
*Hasbro Pulse/Shop Disney exclusive

Agustin Giavedoni from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook Group has posted the first look at new Vintage Collection figures shown on the Purge Trooper (Phase II) cardback on display at SDCC. New figures are Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser), Cal Kestis, Cassian Andor, Artillery Stormtrooper, and Vel Sartha
In Demand Toys has posted one of the Convention Exclusives planned for this year on Facebook. The Vintage Collection The Rescue Set features the Dark Trooper, The Mandalorian, Grogu and Moff Gideon — all of which have new accessories and to differentiate them from previous releases. No price is listed yet but look for this to be available for preorder exclusively at Hasbro Pulse as part of their SDCC reveals.
Remember this figure initially launched as a preorder on Oct. 22, 2021? Hasbro Pulse is now sending out order updates notifying collectors that the Deluxe Black Series Cobb Vanth is now expected to be released August 1. We’ll see.
Thanks to E.T. K. for the alert.
