Rumor Report: Endor Heroes Convention Exclusive

Leave a comment

It appears there is another “Convention Exclusive” preparing to make landfall soon. JTPrime has posted in the ToyArk forums, the discovery of an item named “E76520000 SW CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE HEROS ENDOR 3 Pcs”. (3 pcs is probably the case pack, not the number of figures in the set.) No word yet whether it is Black Series or TVC, but we should find out soon enough.

Rumor Report Update: Mandalorian Build Up Pack is TVC?

Leave a comment

Some additional digging has potentially revealed a significant detail on the rumored Mandalorian Build-Up Pack we shared last week. According to Walmart’s system, this is a VINTAGE COLLECTION set, not a Black Series item — unless there are 2 separate items with the same name, that Australian distributor was wrong, or Walmart’s system is wrong. More info to come as we learn more.

Leave a comment

Another bit of TVC news today. Three more new TVC figure listings have turned up in the Walmart system, this time, coded with gem names: “Sapphire”, “Emerald” and “Diamond”. No indication as to whom they might represent. The pricing is a bit weird for these but it may just be preliminary for the early listing. Again , no indication on availability or exclusivity.

Once again, thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.

UPDATE: I have also added “VIN RUBY” to the list.
