According to the latest info from Jayson/Yakface (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2022/10/19/tvc-rumor-report-another-unknown-small-vehicle/), the new Speeder Bike might not be the only small vehicle coming next year...
"Now that the small vehicle “expression” is returning the the Vintage Collection, it looks like we can expect more releases of that type and price point in 2023. Today we’ve added “Charlie” to the list of code names, and like the ROTJ Speeder Bike “Caitlin”, it too is priced at $44.99."
Guesses? Is this just another Speeder Bike with Luke/Leia/Paploo/Mando/IG-11&Grogu/Cassian/etc?
Dare I hope for a Blurrg?
-
I could even see a repaint of the speederbike from the season finale of the Mandalorian as well.
-
I think Cobb Vanth and his speeder bike.

That would be nice, but the pessimist in me assumes they will save TVC Cobb Vanth for one of those $21 Target carded figures (like Morak Fett). :-\
-
In a rational world I'd say its a Blurrg, but if a speeder bike and figure are $45 I can't imagine what they view as a similar size and price point these days. I would think they would charge $75 for a new beast.
Probably a tweaked Boba Fett with reissued Massiff, a nose lizard, and a bunch of drinking gourd accessories.
-

That would be nice. I know a lot of people have been clamoring for a Blurrg and I would think that $45 might be a good price point for it (and they can throw in Kuiil again with some small, new accessory)
-
I'd really like the lava skiff from the end of Season 1. Not sure if they could make that in this price range. We got the droid from the Droid Factory set, but they could potentially reissue that (even though that was Disney) although I'm afraid this might be too much toy for $45.
-
I don’t recall moving parts on the lava boat. Fewer parts, fewer tooling. I think it, the droid, and a smattering of crates, is very doable at this price point.
-
I’m hoping that this might be the Mandalorian’s Tatooine speeder bike with Mando and Grogu. And if they want to charge $45? Include Boba Fett’s armor as a world building accessory.
-
I’m really hoping it’s a blurrg too. We haven’t had a beast in the TVC line since the 2010 Tauntaun. (Not counting Jabba with the Khetanna).
I also wouldn’t mind seeing a Tantive IV Escape Pod, though it feel like that might be a bit on the large side.
-
Another idea came to mind for me in the *HOPES* that Hasbro is truly interested in world building. And it relates to a TVC figure pipeline reveal. Could this be Boba Fett as seen in the Train Heist sequence in THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT?
Hasbro made a point of revealing the Tusken Warrior as a pipeline reveal at Hasbro Pulse Con. But there were no other TVC TBOBF reveals. Krrsantan has been dug up as a Deluxe figure offering, but has not yet been officially confirmed. Could Boba Fett with the speeder bike be the companion piece to the Tusken Warrior? Because she plays an integral part in the train heist. I can also see the potential for Hasbro to re-paint the VC199 Tusken Raider and offer it in the color scheme of the Tuskens of the Dune Sea.

Would it be wrong that I’m secretly hoping that Hasbro brings back the mini-rigs?
I loved those as a kid.

Totally agree. They don't need to make something that was on screen if they can come up with something fun with play value, but when is the last time they made anything (other than an EU / Gaming Greats figure) that hasn't been on screen?

Don't forget the Speeder Bike now costs $45. Are you willing to pay $60 for a new CAP-2?
-
I hope it's something else new. Taking the speeder bike again and Fett again would be a real bummer, whether it makes sense for that scene or not.
-
I’m really hoping it’s a blurrg too. We haven’t had a beast in the TVC line since the 2010 Tauntaun. (Not counting Jabba with the Khetanna).
Dang that would be nice. A blurrg would be one of the few items I would be really exited about rather than many other options.

Jabba's not a beast!

Blurgg would be great and it would fit Hasbro’s m.o. of making things that people would buy more than one of.
-
I mean we at least need a couple for our Ewoks Battle for Endor displays.

*another thread getting dragged up from the depths now that this is confirmed via a pipeline reveal (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fn-soUFWYAU4Zzt.jpg).
"Charlie" is not a Blurrg or any of the other cool things we speculated, it's the most boring and obvious choice -
Repaint Speeder Bike from The Mandalorian.
This brings to mind 2 questions from me:
1. Is it going to include 'grogu in a bag'?
2. Am I dumb enough to spend $45 on a speederbike repaint just to get 'grogu in a bag' if it indeed comes with him?
-
I would also hope it comes with a remnant Biker Scout.
-
Needs to have a removable helmet and Jason Sudekis’ head to have any value whatsoever.

Looks like...
1. Yes!
2. Yes. ::)

I like the Scout Trooper with Grogu. I'm down for three of these. More if I find them discounted.

Yeah, I wish it was just the Scout Trooper with Grogu and no speederbike. I'd prefer if this were a $17 TVC figure and not a $45 vehicle/figure combo.
-
I mean, it looks good for what it is.
I'm fully expecting the price to actually be $49.99 when we go to order it. They probably "forgot" to include the up-charge for Grogu in the bag when they did the press release.
-
For an obvious repaint, it looks pretty good. At $44.99 (or $49.99 if Rob is right and this follows the pattern of the Tuskens...) I'm down for two of these to start. Had this been closer to $30, I'd have wanted 4-5.
-
It's a nice enough offering, but like others said - predictable. The inclusion of Grogu in the satchel is a nice added touch.
I think some of the finer points of this Scout Trooper might have been overlooked. Because Hasbro actually nailed some of the differences between this Scout Trooper and previous Scout Troopers. This one has a bit of the black uniform showing below the chest plate. And the knee pads are also correct to the scene from Season 1, Chapter 8.
I'm hoping that the price will be the same as the speeder bike that's in stores now. If it's part of an assortment, then the price should be the same across the assortment. But I guess we'll know for sure later today.

$44.99 at Amazon -> https://amzn.to/3Lhy5se

Thanks Jeff. Used the amazon link to preorder three of them.
-
Sounds like these are starting to hit Target stores on the West Coast... another $45 to help crush your budget this month!
-
These were found outside of StL at a Target as well.
-
Yeah, i saw 3 at a SF Bay Area Target last week.
Not crazy about the price, but i wouldn't mind one with IG-11 along with Grogu inside a sack with a thrill-ride expression on his face.
-
When it rains, it pours - got my shipping notice from EE.
-
I got an email from Pulse saying they’re shipping soon, but no tracking yet.
Meanwhile, gentle giant has shipped ten mini-busts in the last 3 or 4 months. It’s been an expensive summer.
-
I found these at Target in Denver tonight. Ended up picking up three and will cancel my preorders. September had not been nice to the wallet... :-X
-
I found this the other day in Walmart, and again yesterday in Target. It's nice when you can actually find things on the shelves! But the price tag on this is still questionable.
-
Local Target has been sitting on 3 of these for a couple weeks now. Price is too much for my liking. We’ll see if that’s the case with other local collectors
-
There are scattered reports that this is getting clearanced by Target in some locations for around $25. It will not now up in the Target app with that price, but it scans for that price in stores at the price check stations and the registers. I went looking for them this morning but wasn't successful.
I think it's most likely a pricing error since this just got released. And possibly Target mistook this speeder bike for the ROTJ version and placed it on clearance.

I'm not even sure that Amazon and Pulse have even shipped them yet and Target is clearing them out?!? That has got to be some kind of mix up with the previous speeder bike.
Target just seems like they have zero patience these days to let things linger on the shelf. So much collector product on clearance at Target right now. Must not be any room in the holiday planograms for any of this stuff. Gotta make room for those BS 6" Holiday Snowman Trooper figures I guess!
-
Works for me. I’m hoping I can find a few at this price and return my $45 ones.
-
I’ve seen a bunch of these for $22.49 at my local Targets lately.
-
Might have to take a ride later, even though my Target always seems unaware that there is a movie series called Star Wars.
-
Found three of these on clearance Friday, so I bought those and cancelled my Amazon order.
-
I’ve checked three Targets since yesterday. No sign of them. 🤷♂️
