I was somehow able to secure Echo today using the Store Pickup in the Target App; I guess a local store got some in and I was early enough for them to actually go to the aisle and grab the figure for me. So now I only need the Kenobi.

I'm probably a sucker too, I want one! Loved KOTOR, but since we only have Revan in the 6 inch line, I'll simply toss this on a ROTS Kashyyk shelf.

Come to think of it, KOTOR was pretty underrepresented in the 3.75 inch line, correct? I can only remember them giving us Revan, Malak, and Bastilla.

Still in stock 90 minutes later.  That's new.

I got mine PO'd 4 hours after they went up. Wondering if there's low demand because these are Disney movie figures?

Didn’t Hasbro update the deco on the 6” TBS A New Hope Leia for the 40th Anniversary Collection? 

ANH 40AC was just before Hasbro started using Photoreal (IIRC the first Photoreal wave was late 2017 with Island Rey, DJ, and Captain Rex), but they did reshape the head for the ANH 40AC figure. The original figure from 2016 was really "fat" and they slimmed it down.

I'm looking at these and the 6 inch reveals and trying to figure out how they mesh, i.e. Hasbro usually sculpts something for the 6 inch line lately, then shrinks the sculpt for TVC. New ROTJ Bib Fortuna in both lines, so I'm wondering if the TVC Navarro Cantina playset is going to be upscaled for the 6 inch HasLab project?

Oh my God, I cannot believe these madmen actually did it. Rereleases of some of the biggest pegwarmers of the entire 6 inch line! And two of the three new figures are exclusives, to Target, so good luck fighting over the 5000 figure production run.

I mean I'll admit that the new Photoreal faces look GREAT, but I'll wait for the rest of those to join their 2016 brethren at Five Below.

The only exciting thing there are the Pipeline reveals. I wonder if the HasLab project will be something Jabba's Palace related? Maybe a rerelease of Jabba with a throne room diorama, to go with the ROTJ Bib Fortuna? A 6 inch scale Rancor? Both would fit the timeframe for ROTJ's 40th in 2023 too.

I'm in. All of my leagues folded last year, and I'm itching to get back to "normal."

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series Rumors

Wonder if they'll go the Main Character route for the Archive wave, or with more Army Builders. I don't believe the recent reproduction run of Captain Rex is an archive figure?

Mine arrived last week while I was away on a work trip. I got a VERY angry phone call from the girlfriend about the size of the box they shipped it in. So I guess you guys aren’t the only ones! She had recycled it by the time I got home, and I’m a little bummed that I didn’t get to lay eyes on it myself to see how comically oversized it was.

Got my shipping notice this afternoon.

Was able to secure Anakin and Pilot Hawk online this morning, so hopefully Target doesn’t cancel those orders. Still on the hunt for Echo and Kenobi. Kenobi will be especially difficult since it isn’t showing up online or in the Target app for me.

161
These were all sold out online by the time I could get to them, and in a totally shocking shock, none of the 5 Targets I checked had put any of these out. Pegs were untouched, no special end cap, nothing in the Father’s Day area. Fun fun fun.

The Vintage Collection / Re: We need more VTC figures!

I think a lot of this stuff is out of Hasbro's control. For example, Last Jedi divided the fanbase, and made anything related to the sequels virtually unsellable. That's my theory as to why Rise of Skywalker had zero figures made outside of Rey, Kylo, and some repaint troopers. TVC seems to be a cost issue due to the cost to make a figure, plus Disney taking whatever giant percentage they take for the license, which is why we get a lot of repaints and rereleases. Then Disney wants to prevent spoilers for Star Wars, which is why I think we don't get these coordinated releases for Star Wars like Hasbro does with the Marvel CU stuff.

Amazon just delivered my Greedo after a few ETA changes, so now I have all of these. Kind of kicking myself for not buying an extra Jawa and Kenobi to make a vinyl Jawa, and throw the Photoreal Alec Guinness head onto the regular Old Ben figure from 2016

164
Yakface posted the bar codes for each figure, so I scanned them at two different Targets today. Both said all 4 figures were unavailable to purchase, no stock in the back.

Was just able to secure a Rampart preorder. Kind of annoying I had to preorder both separately, but oh well. Hopefully none of the orders get canceled.
