It’s not an insignificant thing for a major retailer to pause a segment of the Hasbro Star Wars line.  Especially when that chain has around 2000 store locations in the U.S.   That lack of presence leads to perception issues.  And it makes TVC that much more of a niche line.  I don’t think it’s crazy to think that Hasbro should be looking to grow the line, not contract it. 

This article from Yakface seems a little bit alarming:  EXISTING MAINLINE TVC DPCIS NOW ZEROED AT TARGET AND NO PEGS SET

The alarmists in the community seem to be concerned that Target might be dropping the Vintage Collection.  I am more of the opinion that TVC might be getting a bit of a pause at Target.  Per Hasbro, the wave with Count Dooku, the phase I Clone, Cassian Andor and Finn are supposed to be Fan Channel releases.  I haven't seen reports of this wave turning up at big box stores, but I have seen them in GameStop stores, and that is consistent with what Hasbro stated. 

It seems like Walmart is currently stocking this wave.  But I have yet to see any sign of these at Target.
1x Grand Admiral Thrawn
1x The Mandalorian (Mines)
1x Huyang
1x Mandalorian Fleet Commander
1x Axe Woves (Privateer)
1x Ahsoka Tano
2x Grogu (Season 3)

Target has also put the TVC deluxe figures on clearance.  But then the whole situation with that was beyond puzzling, with something like 4 - 6 different deluxe figures in stock at a given time, with 2 of those being exclusive.  In the past I would have thought that a retailer would stock twice as many basic figures at their lower price points as they would the deluxe figures.  But I would hardly ever see carded figures in stock at Target.

The whole situation is a head scratcher, for sure.

I can't begin to count the number of obnoxious eBay users I've blocked for all of the belligerence and lowballing that I've had to deal with on my sales listings. 

I had one "interested party" who made a lowball offer on a Legacy Collection comic 2-pack - one of the EE exclusive ones that now command serious prices.  And the item had a good number of people who were watching it - maybe as many as 30.  When I responded to him saying "Thanks for your offer, but I've got some 30+ other users following the listing.  Considering the level of interest I have to pass".  So he came back with "Well, then why is it still available if there's so much interest?"  It was enough to make you want to tear out your hair dealing with that *******, who I'm pretty sure I blocked shortly thereafter.

It's a great figure.  Not perfect, but great.

The level of detail is fantastic.  The paint apps are great - the armor looks far better than I've ever seen on a Jango Fett figure before, and the jumpsuit underneath is the right color.  The way the flamethrower was incorporated with the left gauntlet came out much better than I had expected.

The cons?  The holsters are pretty chonky.  I've heard plenty about wall thickness being an issue with Hasbro's partner factories in China, and this seems to be an example of that.  There seems to be a decent amount of play with with holster straps.  I know that has limited leg mobility on a number of other figures before.  I also had an issue with getting the helmet to sit firmly on the peg after removing Jango's head. 

And of course, we have the Fett tax at play.  The inclusion of 3 flame effects should not be cause to make a figure like this "deluxe" and charge $25.  But this is the state of things.  And given the number of additional accessories - especially a loose head?  I want to see some in-universe containers included with these world building figures.  It helps achieve the whole "world building" concept.  And it can help to manage all of the accessories included in these sets.

I need to pay closer attention, clearly!

But then maybe Amazon was paying attention to the glut of deluxe figures at Target?  Along with the epic complaining from much of the community about the deluxe figure price point.

I found a pretty good comparison between the Haslab version of Zeb and this new deluxe release:

I'm going to bail on the prerequisite that 4-packs be built on an existing figure.  If it already exists?  Great.  If not?  Take notes, Hasbro!
