It sounds like we were supposed to get a slew of Vintage Collection and Black Series preorders this week (yesterday specifically), but now that preorder event will be pushed to April 7. (It’s not like we’re short on preorders already). That’s said, we may still get a couple announcements prior to that. Stay tuned for more.

Many will enter, one will win! What do you think of these matchups?
There are some great choices and fun surprises on this year’s bracket. Which character do you want to see added to The Vintage Collection as an all-new figure first? This is unofficial and not affiliated with Hasbro or Disney in any way, but let’s get talking about what our TVC priorities are and have some fun along the way.
In January, you submitted over 400 lists of your top 25 most-wanted Vintage Collection figures and these matchups were determined by the seed rankings provided by the initial data, which you can see next to each character. The top-ranked character is matched against the lowest, and it works its way towards the middle. The winner of each matchup will advance to the next round.
Voting will begin Monday, March 7, in our Instagram stories. Stay tuned for more details.
Until then, download your own version of the bracket, fill it out with what you’d like to see happen, and share it with the hashtag #SWTVCMarchMadness.
May the Force be with you!
