With the full contents of 2021 TVC Wave 3 fully officially revealed now, I thought I'd get things kicked off on a thread for 2021 TVC Wave 4.  As always, full credit to Jason's Master UPC / DPCI / SKU Rumor List for the info below:

Looks like a lot of them are going to be Canadian?

Someone on the Hasbro team must be a geography nerd as the 2021 code names have been continents, oceans, great lakes, mountain ranges, and canadian provinces for TVC.  So far we've seen:

Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, Pacific
Himalayas, Rocky, Alps, Andes
Australia, Europe, Asia, America, Antarctica
Superior, Huron, Erie, Ontario
Labrador, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland

They have been using a lot of US States and Cities for the Black Series 6" code words.

WTF, no respect for PEI?!?!?!?

Maul and Ahsoka do look great... but it's another Maul and another Ahoska.

It's all extremely boring.

[Jesse James]

Did Amazon have preorders up on Ahsoka and Maul yet?  I ordered a case on EE but like to hedge my bets.  I also missed Pulse because some of us have to work and aren’t at a computer all day to do it haha.  Pulse sucks and has basically become useless to me.  I can’t see a legit reason to stay a premium member now unless they can guarantee you figures at some point.

Yes Jesse they did go up on Amazon and since sold out.

[Jesse James]

That sucks ass.  Oh well off to pay more I guess

I missed the livestream and pre-orders (was busy on Friday ), but was able to grab a pre-order on Maul today -

Here are the Amazon links in case anyone else wants to keep tabs on them coming back in stock.

TCW Mandalore Maul
TCW Mandalore Ahsoka

[Matt_Fury]

They're listed as temporarily out of stock, so that's a good sign that they will get more.

[Nicklab]

I just pre-ordered a case of this wave.  EE has it listed, and the assortment is slated to be as follows:

3x Darth Maul
2x Ahsoka Tano
2x SW VIN NOVA SCOTIA
1x SW VIN NEW BRUNSWICK
(rumored to be Echo and Offworld Jawa)

And I placed the order out of a sense of complete frustration with retail.  Why?  I tried going to some Walmart stores that were supposed to have TVC inventory based on Brickseek results.  And none of those panned out.  I went one store that I've always considered to be a little off the beaten path.  Previously I have had some good finds there with the 3.75" Black Series and 6" Black Series.  But yesterday?  There was absolutely nothing.  Not one of those photos where there's some roleplay items, lightsabers and stuffies.  At this store there was literally NOTHING.  I couldn't even find where the Star Wars section should have been until I started looking really closely at peg tags.  When I finally found the Star Wars pegs?  There was product from other licenses there, but absolutely nothing Star Wars.  If that's not discouraging I don't know what is.

2x SW VIN NOVA SCOTIA
1x SW VIN NEW BRUNSWICK
(rumored to be Echo and Offworld Jawa)

I thought it was kind of strange that they didn't reveal Echo and Offworld Jawa during the Fan Fest.  These are due in 3 months and they haven't even officially confirmed them yet but they confirmed the whole next repack wave and the Gaming Greats.  So weird.  Maybe they just forgot? 

[Rob]

My only guess is that they're getting more promotional milage out of revealing 2 or 3 things every 3 or 4 weeks than they get out of revealing a bunch of stuff at Toy Fair and then again at Comic Con.  Spreading it out maybe?

[Nicklab]

I'm guessing that the secrecy over the remaining two figures might have to do with the details.  In this case perhaps Echo isn't going to be the ARC Trooper version we've seen, but rather his look in The Bad Batch?  And there's also the possibility that there's going to be a reveal in conjunction with May the Fourth - it's basically Star Wars Day, plus it's the day that The Bad Batch debuts on Disney+.

Yeah, I guess maybe the Echo thing does tie into Bad Batch so maybe that's why.  Just seems strange they'd reveal all of Wave 20 and part of Wave 21 before finishing the reveals for Wave 19.
