TVC Rumor Report: Unknown/Rumored Large Vehicle Code Name
Another Vintage Collection vehicle code name has been found and this one may tie to the rumored N-1 Starfighter from The Book of Boba Fett/The Mandalorian. “Bridgeport” looks to be due late 2023 with a price in the $140 range.
TVC Rumor Report: 10 More TVC Code Names Added
Following up on yesterday’s TVC news, I’ve added ten additional TVC code names to our list of upcoming product for 2023. All of these look to be basic figures with the standard mainline pricepoint. This brings our count up to nearly 40 TVC items that we have yet to correlate with pipelined or unannounced products.
TVC Speeder Bike with Biker Scout Pricepoint
It appears that, as of this post, the pricepoint for the upcoming TVC Speeder Bike with Biker Scout (which was pipelined at SDCC 2022) will be $44.99.

TVC Rumor Report: Another Playset for 2023?
Doing some digging today, I managed to find info for another Vintage Collection Playset due sometime on 2023. All I have now is a code name “CURT“, SKU and UPC, but it is different than the “BLAKE” playset info (which is the Endor Bunker). Stay tuned for more info when available…

Success Or Fail?: Hasbro Pulse TVC Boba Fett’s Throne Room
Initially set to close last Friday, the Vintage Collection Boba’s Fett Throne Room has officially closed for preorders and is listed as “Sold Out”. We now have to wait until late 2023 for this to arrive in our hands. A lot can happen in the world between now and then but thankfully we still have our cash in-hand as, unlike a Haslab campaign, we won’t have to pay for these until September. That said, let’s look at the preorder numbers this generated:
Hasbro Pulse US: 9695 (Max 19750)
Hasbro Pulse UK: 870 (Max 1000)
Hasbro Pulse EU: 529 (Max 1000)
Total: 11094 units preordered (this number may still fluctuate as preorders are cancelled or if/when they reopen.)
What do you think? Based on the numbers sold, it pulled in a little over half of the total allocated product to the 3 Hasbro Pulse stores.
I don’t think I speak out of turn to suggest that this would have had stronger global sales if it was marketed as a Return of the Jedi piece and include Jabba the Hutt — next year is the 40th Anniversary after all.
Preorders Closing at Midnight for the Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room Playset
A reminder that preorders* for the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room will be closing tonight at 11:59:59pm ET. Expected delivery of this set is scheduled for September 2023, preorders may open again as we get closer to that date.
*Preorders won’t be charged until the product is ready to ship.
