Today I finalized my TOP 25 SUBMISSIONS for this year’s March Madness VI Vintage Collection campaign. Those who wish to participate have until January 25 at 11:59 ET for sending selections in via the @SWTVC linktree.
Hat tip to Hasbro and their team for advertising the nostalgia and world-building scope of the Vintage Collection on Amazon. The layout gives very strong mini-catalog vibes from a long time ago, in a collecting era far, far away.
They are also showcasing the Black Series to promote its premium design & poseability as well as the collectible nature of its packaging, all while offering “something for every fan”.
It was only a matter of time but Target has moved their Vintage Collection prices in line with MSRP and are now ringing out at $19.99 (previously $16.99). Congrats to those who were able to score this wave before the increase.
Hasbro presented their first fanstream of the year with new reveals for the Vintage Collection, Retro Collection and Black Series line. Click on through to check out the info.
Update: Adding press release images for TBS Fan Channel wave. No other imagery is available yet.

Reports are coming in regarding new Vintage Collection figures hitting Target stores in the central U.S. including Kansas, Texas and Minnesota. Most Targets are resetting aisles this week so your best chance at finding them is now. As a bonus, Target is still charging g $16.99 for TVC. Good luck on your searches. (087-26-2374)
Update: I picked these up today.
I was beginning to think it wasn’t coming as a little bug in my ear told me that this week’s intended product drop was canceled and rescheduled for next week (Wednesday). Hasbro has confirmed that with the announcement of Monday’s Star Wars Fanstream. Chances are we’ll see a few rumors come to fruition with more on the way later this month.
Update: Also after 6 grueling months, we are finally getting the pay off on the Cantina characters teased back at SDCC 2025. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Target has set a new TVC assortment tag and DPCI (087-26-2374) which (at least in my area) maintains the $16.99 pricepoint. This DPCI should be associated with the figures in the wave with The Stranger, Padme, Shaak Ti, Maul (Shadow Lord), and Darth Vader (Emperor’s Wrath).
The Vintage Collection March Madness is back! Now is your chance to help shape this year’s bracket by submitting up to 25 of your most-wanted all-new TVC figures. With a galaxy of characters to choose from, who are you putting on your list?
