In a small town off the interstate in southern Minnesota you may see a sight rarely seen at many metropolitan stores. Peg after peg of new TVC figures waiting to be liberated from their cardboard and plastic prison. I envision taking a roadtrip tonight.
PS: Hey Walmart, fix your distribution.

Last week we reported the first sighting of TVC Wave 16 at Target and this week, it looks like Walmart has followed suit. This report comes from scottw703 on Instagram in Chesapeake, VA courtesy of @KyloCollector.
Meanwhile, preorders for the TVC Incinerator Trooper (and TBS Clone Wars figures) keep getting pushed back into 2021, or outright cancelled, despite taking new in-stock online orders.
Thanks Walmart, your failure is complete.
Be sure to check out our Amazon Storefront for Cyber Monday markdowns including Black Series and Vintage Collection items from Hasbro.
Target is now sending shipping notifications for new TVC figure preorders including The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor), Moff Gideon and The Armorer.
Thanks to DarthChuckMc for the alert.
Twitter follower Alex Z. reports finding part of the newest (and last for 2020) wave of TVC at his Target store (Green Valley/Horizon Ridge – Henderson, NV). Acquisitions included The Mandalorian (Beskar), Moff Gideon, and The Armorer.
This is the way.
As mentioned on Hasbro’s last Fan First Friday, they’ve gone back and tweaked the cardback for the upcoming TVC Boba Fett (ROTJ) figure to more closely match the original Kenner release. The accent color has been adjusted to yellow and the reference photo has been zoom out for a “better” look at the character. The first orange version (left above) will be available initially then replaced as a running change.

DorksideToys is now taking preorders for case, set (one of each figure) and individual preorders which includes the new TVC figures Greef Karga and The Child that were announced/confirmed today.
Here is a quick overview of the differences between the 3 TVC figures for The Child. Each one has a unique head sculpt and the Razor Crest version has a unique arm (left hand holding the control knob).
Target’s website has updated today with the official reveal of the TVC Greef Karga and TVC The Child figures from The Mandalorian. Watch for preorders to be announced later today. THESE ARE NOT EXCLUSIVES.
Entertainment Earth has also opened preorders for the new figures announced today via Hasbro’s Fan First Friday.
