The Marvel Legends team has had a fair amount of success with MTO (made to order) items that fall outside of the Haslab model – Dragon Man, Mephisto, and the recently announced Apocalypse to name a few. The Star Wars brand really hasn’t explored this concept to that extent.

Today’s Target and Walmart proved fruitful in one aspect and very frustrating in another. Good news is that it looks like the exclusive reissues of TVC Bom Vimdin, Bib Fortuna and the Gamorrean Guard will be hitting stores this weekend. But as you can surmise, they are all street dated for October 5 – so stupid for old, reissued figures. Black Series figures have also starting hitting Target as well but look to be a wave behind Walmart has they are receiving the new Anakin/Obi-Wan/Stranger wave. Check you stores for these latest arrivals and more.
As a quick reminder. Target will be releasing their exclusive reissues for the Vintage Collection Bom Vimdin ($16.99), Bib Fortuna ($16.99) and Gamorrean Guard ($24.99) this Sunday (Oct. 5). If you have any of them preordered, check your status as they should start updating to “preparing” now.
