As part of next week’s May the 4th festivities, watch for 2, maybe 3, 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figures to go up for preorder at GameStop. It is unknown at this time who they are or what game they are from but rest assured it will be a busy day for preorders for Black Series and Vintage Collection items from various retailers.
Following up again on our continued research of new products coming to the Vintage Collection, I have found that cases of the mystery figure “SW VIN TRIANGLE” have arrived in the U.S. This figure along with “SQUARE” and “RECTANGLE” are speculated to be another batch of Walmart exclusive TVC figures. Hopefully we shall find out next week.
Recent shipping data shows that the recently announced TVC Gaming Greats figures for the Scout Trooper (“Magnolia/Rollerball”), Shadow Stormtrooper (‘Mayflower/Marker”) and Heavy Battle Droid (“Marigold/Fountain”) have already entered the U.S. from Canada – well ahead of their August/September release date. It is unknown if they’ll be held back until then or ship to customers early.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
Not to be out done, Walmart has also started to receive the new TVC reissue wave. This image was sent to us via Dave F. from Appleton, ,WI on Twitter.
Instagram follower Tim S. reports finding the newly announced TVC Reissue wave consisting of Hoth luke, Endor Han, Royal Guard and Admiral Ackbar at his local Target in Grand Rapids, MI.
Getting something truly new in the Vintage Collection is what the line desperately needs. Why not release something that supports the Barge, the Skiff and the upcoming 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi?
