Back in June, there was word that a deluxe “build up” pack was headed to the Black Series line for The Mandalorian. Later that month, additional info came to light which was thought to clarify that listing as being for the Vintage Collection. I received a new UPC over the weekend to research and found this morning that it is listed at Target as “STAR WARS MANDO BUILD UP PACK” and confirms the original report of it being for The Black Series. The price on this set is $34.99 and the DPCI is shown above in the image. So, it appears that we are in fact getting TWO Mandalorian build up packs – one for TBS and one for TVC.
Obviously, no official word on availability, but since it’s not showing in various other systems in the U.S., it may be a Target Exclusive.
It appears that the second reissue wave of Vintage Collection will hit big box stores in the U.S. after all as Twitter follower James M. reports finding them at Target in Brea, CA today.
Tonight we get our first look at the upcoming (yet still unannounced) Vintage Collection ARC Trooper Fives (VC172) courtesy of Instagram follower @vivisectstudios.
The other figures in the wave include Hondo Ohnaka (VC173), Chirrut Imwe (VC174) and Luke Skywalker – Jedi Knight (VC175)
I’ve heard some interesting rumors over the past couple of days regarding upcoming products for The Vintage Collection and it sounds like we may not have to wait too much longer for a reveal/announcement for Hasbro’s version of The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.
As with any rumor we share, until there is an announcement they are unofficial, approximate and subject to cancellation and/or delay by the manufacturer.
UPDATE: Based on a series of very compelling/convincing screenshots received over the past couple of weeks – if true – it appears that the TVC Razor Crest may have a price point of $349.99.

Sponsor Entertainment Earth has opened preorders for some older, hard-to-find TBS figures and recent Vintage Collection figures. Figures include Clone Commander Wolffe (TBS), Commander Gree (TBS), General Grievous (TBS), Gamorrean Guard (TBS), Cara Dune (TVC), and The Mandalorian (TVC). Head on over and avoid those high aftermarket prices.

Hasbro has just announced via Instagram they they will be having their Hasbro Pulse Con on September 25 & 26 where they will be having new official reveals and exclusives from Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, G.I.Joe and more.
I posted this comparison earlier via social media and I think it’s worthy of discussion here as well. If you take into consideration all of our rumored /unconfirmed Vintage Collection (TVC) and Black Series (TBS) action figure related items coming between now through 2021, the lines look as follows:
We don’t know how many of both lines are repacks/repaints, and if you remove the 4 additional TBS Credit Collection we just reported today, the balance overall is just barely in the Black Series favor. Interesting.
I’ve updated the list of Galaxy’s Edge merchandise coming to Target starting at the end of the month. There are over a dozen unannounced products (so far). You can see them in our 2020 Master UPC/DPCI/SKU List in the dedicated section with known pricing & corresponding SKUs.
