While Hasbro has cutback on the number of new preorders, you can still get some of the new figures shown this week by preordering the existing TVC Wave 15 at sponsor Entertainment Earth.
TVC Wave 15 breakdown:
2x Cassian Andor – Aldhani Mission (Andor)
2x Hunter (The Bad Batch)
1x Clone Trooper – Phase II Armor (Andor)
1x Admiral Piett (Return of the Jedi)
1x Starkiller – Vader’s Apprentice – (The Force Unleashed)
1x Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) – carry forward/repack from wave 13
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
Hasbro held their first Star Wars fanstream for 2023 and announced several Vintage Collection, Black Series and Retro Collection items as well as Pipeline Reveals. Click on through for the galleries. (No preorders will be offered this week for any of the items).

Recent shipping data shows cases of TVC reissues are starting to arrive in California. Figures include Kithaba, Nikto and Wooof. No sign yet of Saelt Marae (Yak Face).
Hasbro has announced their next Star Wars Fanstream for new Vintage Collection and Black Series announcements/reveals will be held on February 1 at 11am ET. Word on the holonet is there will be a lot of complaining and pitting the scales against each other.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has listed on their Drop Zone page a teaser for an upcoming preorder in February. The language “enlist” and “batch” seems to suggest something The Bad Batch related and will likely be the Vintage Collection Hunter from the already solicited TVC Wave 15 with Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) and Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor). No word on if there will be anything else dropping that day but we will update when/if we learn more. Thanks to bac for the heads up.
Update: I’m reminded of the fact that there was a Black Series Omega from Season 2 pipelined back in October for MCM Comic Con, so she could be possible preorder as well.
Just in time for the new year, we were able to acquire some of the newest TVC wave, and these figures are outstanding to say the least.
We have a few quick pics to share of Cassian and Vel – check them out, and as an added bonus for loose collectors, the Cassian head can easily be swapped out with his Rogue One figure with ease.
Amazon has started to send out updated shipping notifications for the Vintage Collection Dark Troopers and collectors who preordered can start to expect to receive them next week.
Thanks to an image from Alan A. from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection UK Collectors Group on Facebook, we get a look at the back of the Scout Trooper (VC273) and some of the upcoming figures for Wave 7 (Wave 15): Hunter (The Bad Batch), Admiral Piett, Phase II Clone Trooper and Starkiller
California retailer ToyHideout has posted in-hand images of the recently announced Vintage Collection Endor Bunker, Deluxe Paz Vizsla and the Black Series Scorch Gaming Greats figure. Hopefully we won’t have to wait 4-5 months for these to be filled through preorders.
