Today was the Official Street Date for Target's Exclusive Retro Collection figures, The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch Han Solo (Stormtrooper), and The Black Series 6-Inch Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) figure. Did you run down to your local store and did you successfully find these or were they sold out and it was a waste of time?

All my local Texas Stores initially received
• 12 Retro Figures
• 8 TVC Han (Stormtrooper)
• 2-3 Black Series 6-Inch Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape)

But some stores sold the Retro Collection figures early while the other 2 were register locked until today.

If you were not able to find these today at your local stores they will eventually get more and supply should catch up to demand. Also as we reported this morning Target.com had some of these in stock and ready to ship also.

As some of you may have noticed HasbroPulse.com has taken down the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive TBS 6-Inch Obi-Wan And Maul Product Pages and your bookmarks will now show the "Oops! We're Sorry! page.

Its not known if these are gone for ever or if HasbroPulse.com killed the pages to stop bot traffic and non-stop page refreshes.

Anyways we have reached out to our Hasbro contacts a few days ago, but currently there is no updated information on the availability of these products.

Just finished photographing the Target Exclusive Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Stormtrooper figure and have added him to our HD Photo Gallery. This figure really brings back memories, it was the 2nd Star Wars figure my parents bought me as a child.

Remember The Retro Collection will initially launch this month as a Target Store Exclusive, but later on in the Fall will become a shared online retailer Exclusive as well.

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

Added to our HD Photo Gallery tonight is the Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Chewbacca figure. While these new Retro Collection figures are not exact 100% replicas of the Kenner figures from the 70s, they still look great in my opinion. The Retro Collection will initially launch this month as a Target Store Exclusive, but later on in the Fall will become a shared online retailer Exclusive as well.

So Hasbro has sent me a Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Han Solo Figure with a upside down outer bubble. This figure was part of the Press Kits they sent out last week. Thought it was kind of cool, so thought I would share.

One thing that is odd, is the bubble was never heat sealed to the card, more than likely it didn't fit in the heat press template upside down. It just has 4 dabs of glue and that's it.

Now that the new Retro Collection will be hitting Target stores officially on 5/12 (some people bought them early), the debate seems to be to keep or remove the large Retro Collection sticker on the card front.

I say do what makes you happy, its your collection. I personally am not a fan of the sticker. If you do choose to remove the sticker be aware that it does not remove that easy and you could damage your cards by trying to remove it.

Above is a sneak peek fo the cards with and without the stickers that I just photographed. Also I have added larger photos of each card with and without sticker on our Facebook Page if you want to check them out as well.

I will work on the rest of the photos and get them posted to our HD Photo Gallery soon.

Its has been over 4 hours since HasbroPulse.com has upset a whole lot of Star Wars Fans and Collectors with the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive TBS 6-Inch Obi-Wan And Darth Maul figure debacle (can read what happen here), but now their website is sending out "Theres something in your cart... Ready To check out?" emails to those that tried to order and failed.

These emails may give you a glimmer of hope, but when you return to your cart it is empty and of course these 2 figures are currently sold out.

Well that was a bit of a joke. HasbroPulse.com offered the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive TBS 6-Inch Obi-Wan And Darth Maul figures right on time, but sold out in less then a minute. Myself along with about 5 of my friends had them in our carts at about 30 seconds after they went live and while waiting to check out (less then a minute) they Sold out.

It is with great sadness to post that Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) has passed away.

"The family of Peter Mayhew, with deep love and sadness, regrets to share the news that Peter has passed away. He left us the evening of April 30, 2019 with his family by his side in his North Texas home.

Peter was the man behind the mask of Chewbacca in the original Star Wars trilogy, episode 3 of the prequels, and the New Trilogy. He fought his way back from being wheelchair-bound to stand tall and portray Chewbacca once more in Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
