Recent shipping info shows that more cases of the new specialty wave of Vintage Collection, Amazon exclusive TVC Bad Batch 4pk and the Deluxe TVC Boba Fett (Tatooine) from TBOBF have arrived in the U.S. Hopefully, orders will ship sooner than their expected fulfillment dates
Preorders are now open for the Best Buy Exclusive 6″ Black Series TPM carded figures. Prices range from $24.99-$29.99.
Hasbro just wrapped their Fan First Friday Livestream and there were some pretty nice surprises (for once) along with some disappointments.

I received word this morning that for the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm, Hasbro plans to re-issue 3 Black Series figures on Episode I style cardbacks like they did for the exclusive Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Figures include Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu and Jar Jar Binks. There is already an overseas online retailer listing these for preorder but I imagine they’ll be pulled down very soon if not already.
These 3 figures correlate to the new list of Black Series code names that I found the other day and are as follows:
“Winter” – Qui-Gon Jinn
“Autumn” – Mace Windu
“Summer” – Jar Jar Binks
Availability is expected to be around March/April. It is unknown who will be offering that at the time of this post but we’ll provide and update when necessary.
Reports are coming in that the newest repack/reissue wave of TVC figures has started to hit Walmarts across the U.S. For long time collectors these sculpts are probably in your collections already, but the human figures have been updated with Hasbro’s PhotoReal process and the card backs are different than previously released.
Reports are coming in that the new 6″ Black Series Deluxe Jar Jar Binks has started to hit retail in the U.S. Matthew O. reports finding it today at Target (087-16-2141) in Sterling Heights, MI while Turka L. reports finding it (along with a couple Ahsokas) at Walmart (248467335) in Miami, FL.
Hasbro Pulse has begun processing and shipping preorders for the 6″ Black Series Jar Jar Bink figure. Thanks to sjwoolbert for the image.
There is also word of another female character joining the Black Series line: Aurra Sing. It is unknown at this time if she will be branded as part of The Phantom Menace or The Clone Wars subgroup of figures but whatever the case I hope we get her in her alternate black outfit as well.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
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.
