Just checked Target.com and noticed that their Shared Exclusive Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Darth Vader Prototype Figure is in stock as of 3:08am (Central Time). Price is $12.99 each with a limit of 2 per order. Here is the direct product link.

So if you were on Target.com last night waiting for the Star Wars Special Edition Retro Prototype Style 3.75"-Scale Multi-Colored Darth Vader Action Figure to become available to order and blinked you missed it.

I was checking their site probably every 5 mins or so between 2:50am - 3:15am (Eastern Time) and next thing I know it shows "Sold Out'. I thought there is no way it sold out within 5 mins, so maybe it went directly to sold out status (possibly because they didn't have stock yet) but today some of our readers have sent in screen shots (see one example above) showing they were able to order last night at about 3:10am (Eastern Time). I have asked those that sent in screen shots on how long the figures were up for sale and they stated about 1 - 2 minutes.

Hopefully Target.com will offer more for sale. Also these figures are suppose to hit local stores as well.

Thanks to those readers that sent in the screen shots and info.

We have yet to receive any Press Releases from Hasbro on newly announced Star Wars Products, but by watching the Hasbro Panel from today the only new items revealed were

• Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch Figures
• TBS 6-Inch Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) Fan Choice
• TBS Boba Fett Helmet
• Hyperreal Luke Skywalker (Bespin)

And that's about it.

Have a feeling that the lack of product shown today was due to a majority of their resources being devoted to creating Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker products for the past year, which they will not show at this time.

It is also possible that they are holding back some products to reveal at other upcoming events as well.

Received some Online Exclusive The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch Gamorrean Guard samples and I am always getting asked if there iwas any changes on the figures between the 2011 and the 2019 releases, so I just took a quick side by side photo for comparison. 2011 on the left and 2019 on the right.

The paint apps have changed a little bit on the 2019 version. His armor is a darker charcoal color and the brown paints used is slightly different as well. Also his loincloth is a bit lighter in color. It maybe a bit hard to tell in our photo (depending on your screen settings) on the color changes due to our bright lighting, but in hand in natural light the differences can be seen. I will work on the rest of the photos soon and get them posted to our HD Photo Gallery.

TVC 3.75-Inch VC146: Luke Skywalker (Crait) - HD Photos

The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch VC146: Luke Skywalker (Crait) figure has been added to our HD Photo Gallery today. Hasbro did a pretty good job on the sculpt, but the "Photo Real" paint application on the head is pretty terrible. It took me 3 figures just to find one that looked somewhat decent. Luke includes a Lightsaber and Saber Hilt.

Enjoy our large, clear, sharp HD Images that you wont find in other Photo Galleries or Archives.
