Today, Hasbro revealed via Instagram the packaging for both the TVC Rogue One Antoc Merrick X-wing Fighter as well as the carded pack-in Antoc Merrick figure. Look for this to be available exclusively at Target (US) later this year.

Rumor Report: More Exclusive Carbonized TVC Mandalorian Figures Coming Soon?
We also received word of (at least) 2 more Carbonized Vintage Collection figures coming soon: The Armorer and “Villain” – – no indication who the “Villain” may be but if they can carbonize Cara Dune then releasing Moff Gideon is not out of the question.
TVC: Recent Acquisitions
I think most of us would agree that hunting for TVC at retail is almost always a complete waste of time and has been for quite a while. There are of course ways to somewhat easily acquire new figures online however, or even through online marketplaces like Mercari (which I am now addicted to).
Today, I had an unexpected surprise by scoring a trio of TVC Shadow Stormtroopers at a local collector shop basically for standard retail… sure the figure is just a repaint, but it’s better than staring at empty pegs. It actually made my day to upgrade my Shadow Stormtroopers finally, and the cardback looks awesome too.
That being said, what are your most recent acquisitions?
