It seems this exclusive Din Djarin saga continues, and this time we get Din Djarin & The Child listed in-stock on a new page. So, if you’ve been scouting out the old page, it still says out of stock. Perhaps this has something to do with the pin, perhaps not. Get it while you can!

UPDATE: As mentioned in our comments, 3 of the 4 Carbonized figures are also still available:

• Cara Dune
• Remnant Stormtrooper
• Death Trooper

Walmart’s systems seem to be in total disarray. For those that got their order canceled, the Din Djarin & The Child is now back up for pre-order! Could this be some strange issue with the VC number running change?

UPDATE #1: This is now going in and out of stock. If you see it in stock, don’t hesitate!
UPDATE #2: If you use your mobile device and go through the app, it still shows in stock and will let you order. The browser version shows out of stock.

UPDATE 1/15: Back up for another chance!

We’ve received at least a half dozen reports, and seen several reports on social media, that Walmart has been sending out cancelation notices for the TVC exclusive Din Djarin and the Child set. Keep an eye on your inbox and lets us know in the comments if yours was canceled, and when you placed your pre-order. There were several rounds of pre-orders that went up for this exclusive, and all of the emails we received all pre-ordered on the first day. 

JTA reader Rohaizat sends in a nice in-hand look at the packaging for the upcoming The Vintage Collection Tantive IV Corridor, including front and back images of the carded Rebel Fleet Trooper (VC183). He picked this up at his local store in Singapore. Click through for the images!

Walmart has the latest wave of The Black Series Archive figures listed on their web site. This wave sports the gold 50th Anniversary Lucasfilm LTD logo. As of this posting, only Luke and Han are in-stock. Click below for direct links!

Hasbro has claimed that 2021 will be a renewed focus for the Kenner 96. And there is one character is desperate need of an update that is once again relevant in Disney Star Wars, something that makes an action figure for the character extra special. Appearing in a cameo in the Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, it appears Bib Fortuna is now in control of Jabba’s Palace. I just found out thanks to YouTube! (more….)

I found an article on Polygon today that is humorous in part. While summarizing the new offerings from Hasbro based on The Mandalorian, they reference The Vintage Collection in a funny way. They describe it as “There’s also a sort of junior version of the Black Series called the Vintage Collection, which brings a greater level of detail and articulation to the traditional 3.75-inch scale, at merely 150% of the cost.” It’s almost as if the writer doesn’t understand the history of Star Wars action figures. Then to confuse things, they go on to describe the Retro Collection. Isn’t that the traditional 3.75″ format? Is this a chicken-or-the-egg scenario? Also of interest, the original title of the article was “Star Wars toys and Mandalorian figures aren’t really for kids anymore” which probably put Hasbro in a panic, and they since changed it to “Star Wars toys keep changing, and leaving kids behind.” We’re not sure why that was changed. Anyhow, The Black Series line exists BECAUSE of the traditional 3.75″ scale and The Vintage Collection. It’s not the other way around. Check out the article for yourself.

Hasbro acknowledged two issues with two upcoming The Vintage Collection figures, both of which we brought up here at JTA. 

• First, the upcoming Captain Rex has already shipped, and no changes are intended for this figure. However, Patrick assured us that this will be the last time this sculpt is used, and future releases of Rex will be updated.
• Secondly, we brought up the card back design issue here at JTA, and Hasbro listened! Even though several thousand have already shipped with the ‘bad’ design, a running change will occur to the card back. You’re welcome!
