As we get ever closer to the official reveals of many rumored and confirmed products heading to shelves and online stores for Triple Force Friday, I thought I’d drop this discovery that I just made. There is a new Vintage Collection item currently on the way to the US called “Vader’s Challenge”. No word yet on contents, price or who will be carrying it but details will follow as they are available.
Once again we’ve partnered with DorksideToys to giveaway a case of new Vintage Collection and 6” Black Series figures. Details will come this Thursday, Sept 26 after the Triple Force Friday Global Reveals from Disney and Lucasfilm. Until then, be sure that you follow both of our accounts on Instagram (@dorksidetoys and @yak_face) to be eligible for winning.
As we’ve done in previous years, we will be assembling a downloadable Triple Force Friday Unofficial Product Checklist for you to have a quick reference when shopping in stores and online on October. 4. And as with previous merchandise launches, not all products listed may be available in your area or on that day.
UPDATE: Watch for a special addition to be included with this year’s checklist. 😉

Instagram user @KyloCollector has shared a few images (via @JediPatrick) of some of the details built into the new Vintage Collection Poe Dameron’s X-wing including removable engine panels, deployable landing gears and hidden ladder!
An Canadian eBay auction has revealed the first look for the Vintage Collection Knight of Ren as well has better looks at Zorii Bliss and the Sith Jet Trooper from The Rise of Skywalker. Click on through for a closer look.
Thanks to dwined for the tip.

Update: Boba Fett & Sith Trooper sold out. 12:02 ET
We’ve been sent word via Jason H. that his local Naperville, IL Walmart has an endcap of the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Palace Adventure Sets. A quick check via brickseek shows 11 Walmarts in IL with stock on hand. Also of interest is that he also found the Tatooine Skiff at the same store, yet no stock shows on Brickseek for that location.
Forum member Joosk has shared some concept TVC cardbacks that’s he created in our forums. Check them out here.
Personal Note: These are awesome… but sadly, it seems doubtful Hasbro is going to explore adding this kind of variety of figures in The Vintage Collection… but we can dream, right?
Yes, you read that correctly there is a Sith Jet Trooper that is different than the standard Sith Trooper that is coming in wave 2. The Sith Jet Trooper looks to be identical to the First Order Jet Trooper (above) that was revealed at D23, only cast in red.
As we revealed previously, the back of the TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) figure depicts the figures from the first wave character released in Force Friday. Until I have a clearer image, I can share that the above design for the figure coded named “Cairo Axer” is the Knight of Ren shown above. The figure clad in black (it’s hard to tell if it is a mix of soft and plastic goods for his cloak and long tabards that hang in front), has dusty/sandy weathering applied heavily on the bottom edges of the figure (legs and clothing) and slowly fades to black as you move up the figure. He is simply labeled as “Knight of Ren”.
