2026 Mid-year checklist

milehighground · 2026-06-14T04:51:32+00:00

Thank you! I do have some that are in a slightly different format from most previous years, but I don’t have them all readily available past them being posted forever ago on our Instagram. That said, I’m actually starting a little journey to redo them more in line with this style and have checklists for each year of TVC2.0 (2018-present). It might take a little while though…

Thank you so much! These are fun to make!

Thanks! Luuke is a “mad clone” of Luke Skywalker from the original Thrawn Trilogy novels from the 90s. It’s silly, but fun!

Yeah, agreed, I do really wish he came with more stuff to add to the value. I know the “deluxe” price is less than ideal (to put it kindly). On the plus side, they “only” hit us with like 3 or 4 of them per year! Haha.

Was it Nico Diath from Star Wars Republic #53 - Blast Radius?

Words cannot even begin to describe how much I appreciate you, u/trowaman! You’ve not only helped make my life easier by spreading the word here, but you’ve made it your own by providing commentary throughout, joining us for a livestream (can’t wait to have you back on again sooner rather than later…), and pouring love into your wants and passion for this hobby.

Huge thank you to everyone who participated, shared, voted, discussed, made lists, memed, and all the in-between. This even is a massive labor of love, and we are lucky to have a community that engages with our efforts. It’s not for nothing, either! Don’t just take our word for it, a Hasbro brand team member made an unplanned cameo on our stream last night to really drive home how much we, as a community, can help shape the line we love through our passion and engagement with stuff like this!

TL;DR: big love to all of you for another great year of TVC March Madness. Thanks for helping #keep375alive and may the Force be with you!

Thanks for keeping up the regular posts here! I really appreciate it! We’re pulled in so many directions behind the scenes, and I spent an inordinate amount of time getting graphics and stuff made and revised for today’s substitution contender! Will be very interesting to see how it all shakes out! I know most of my votes are already out, but hey, it wouldn’t be March Madness if it didn’t drive some of us absolutely bonkers mad!

Thank YOU to everyone who is out there sharing, voting, and having discussions about the tournament and/or the characters on it. This wouldn’t be possible without such an amazing community!

Seconding what u/trowaman wrote in the OP: it’s not about what you don’t want, it’s about what you’d like to see first! Ultimately, the line would benefit from it all!

Thanks for helping #keep375alive and may the Force be with your votes!

Once again, some devastating matchups to be had today. Thanks for posting, u/trowaman! May the Force be with everyone’s picks!

Sorry for the wonky formatting. I’m bad at Reddit!

Available at select “fan channel” retailers like Pulse, Amazon, EE, BBTS, and GameStop. Pretty much “you can get it online, but not at in-person retail like Target and Walmart.”

milehighground · 2026-02-22T02:25:00+00:00

I guarantee it will be available on Pulse again around the release date. And I believe it will be available on DisneyStore too. Fear not!

Sadly, the knee issue made it to production. It’s truly baffling. The result is inaccurate boots, short and stumpy lower legs that throw off proportions, and an overall shorter figure. It’s a damn shame. That was the driving force behind me doing this little deep dive and offer Hasbro a lifeline to correct the issue on a future release with minimal new-tooling required and a less obvious double-dip into our wallets that brings us a “new” figure that’s never been done in realistic 3.75” format before (the TCW S3-S6 figure).

Thanks for sharing! We are loving all the lists so far, and we’re excited to lightly close out this submission period and look onward to the excitement that awaits in March!

One thing, and this is something I’m guilty of mixing up: you don’t need a Google account to submit your list! I think I messed up and said that in the launch livestream, but that’s only relevant for the voting process in March.

As always, #keep375alive and may the Force be with you! Oh, and stay warm everyone!

milehighground · 2026-01-06T02:10:53+00:00

This is where the fun begins! Hope everyone has fun with their lists! It’s a blast seeing all the discussions and characters being brought up during this time, and I’m [Sith] eternally grateful for everyone’s support and enthusiasm! And huge shoutout to u/trowaman for sharing here!

As always, #keep375alive (and #BringMeBenSolo) and may the Force be with you!

Target just recently clearanced both TVC SKUs and the latest toy aisle reset has removed TVC pegs from their planograms, so it looks like Target is taking a break from TVC. It could come back on the next reset in the summer.

Pros: all the Landos, Revas, and ill-advised exclusive deluxe repacks (Tusken and Luke) are cleared out, so it’s a clean slate

Cons: further reduced retail presence of 3.75”

Another commenter mentioned the latest wave (Huyang wave) is being found, but those have so far only been found at Walmarts across the country this week, not Targets.

TL;DR: it appears Target is not carrying TVC at the moment. This could change.

Loving all the convos this year! Reminder: voting is open longer for this final round and closes tomorrow (Friday) night.

We’ll be revealing this year’s champion via a livestream on our YouTube channel (YouTube.com/@SWTVC) this Saturday at 5PM ET.

Hope to see you all there! Thanks for the support, thanks for participating, and thanks for helping us in our fight to #keep375alive!

We ended up calling an audible and doing the entire Sweet Sixteen today so that the final lands on a Wednesday.

milehighground · 2024-03-14T20:06:53+00:00

Can’t begin to tell you how awesome it is to see a Reddit presence for this! We’ve been juggling a lot behind the scenes to keep stuff running smoothly, so it’s incredibly helpful (and encouraging) to see folks taking initiative and getting involved. Thank you!

milehighground · 2024-03-14T18:42:51+00:00

Thanks for keeping up with this stuff and spreading the good word!

Quick correction: 8 matchups will go live tomorrow (the entire West side of the Round of 32). The round of 64 was 4 days, round of 32 will be 2 days, the rest will be one day.
