Famed insider, VolckerC, posted this bit of information about Target 3-packs on the German Star Wars site Light Speed.com:
In addition to wave 1 of the three packs that we already know about, he listed that a second wave was coming, but did not reveal the contents (even when pressed), and further revealed that a third wave is being planned.
If Hasbro keeps releasing three packs that have vintage analogs, the contents should be easy to deduce.
VolckerC, who knew of the Rise of Boba Fett UBP in advance, also said that there is more TVC product to be revealed for this year. Can’t wait for SDCC.

The new $9 price point seems to be increasing the amount of figure swapping going on. At least this swapper went the extra mile and delivered something creative. It’s practically folk art. Click the thumbnail for the full image.

While checking the toy aisles for new “Star Wars” figures, I ran across the new “Thor” movie figures jammed between The Vintage Collection and The Clone Wars. Okay, so shelf-stockers aren’t rocket scientists, I get it. The thing is, the figures themselves were just so much “been there, done that.” In fact, “JUST been there and done that,” as the hordes of “Iron Man 2” figures still rotting on the pegs bear silent witness to. And, really, “Thor” isn’t the hot property that Iron Man is. With the “Captain America: The First Avenger” movie toys also due to hit stores soon, I can see “Thor” pegwarming whlle “Captain America” does fairly well.
