Target Exclusive Retro Collection TPM 6pk Arriving In the U.S. Releasing In March?

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.

Black Series Clone Trooper (Phase I) Fan Channel Figure Coming Soon

Originally pipelined at Hasbro Pulse Con, it sounds like the Black Series Clone Trooper (Phase I) with updated body (code name “Marathon”) will be a fan channel exclusive and available in the same case assortment at the long-awaited Ki-Adi-Mundi. Both figures should be 4x per case, similar to how the Anakin Skywalker (Tatooine) and Padme Amidala (Royal Decoy) are being distributed.

Retro Rumor Report: New Unknown 6pk Code Name Found

Additional digging this morning has turned up a new Retro Collection code name “Odysseus” which corresponds to an as-of-yet unannounced 6pk.. The dimensions of this item (in terms of packaging) and price are the same as the other 6pks released previously. We know that The Phantom Menance 6pk has the code name “Diomedes” so could this be a set to represent Attack of the Clones based on its Greek-themed code name? I’ll continue to search for more info and update when possible.
