Forums Update

Since we have transferred the site to a different server, we’re still working behind the scenes to bring back the forums. We apologize for the delay, but plan to have things back up and running sometime in February.

Things will look a little different, but we are hoping everyone who participates in the forums will like the changes that are coming!

Note: Yakfinities Customizing Challenges will resume, and the current theme will be extended due to the forums downtime.

Yak’s Top Ten: Gaming Greats

Let’s break our own hearts by creating wish lists of figures that Hasbro will probably never make!

Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus now on Gaming Greats!

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from various video games over the years? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

GTP Toys Update

GTP Toys has shared an update regarding the status of the Tantive IV playset in 1:12 scale.

In short, the news is not what anyone is wanting to hear. They did not receive nearly as many orders as needed to continue into production mode. They invested everything they had into the tooling, which still has the main doorway and floor incomplete. The only option they had was to let their Disney license expire, and continue down the path of unlicensed products (like their previous Space Walls and they will be modular). So, they are reporting that the Tantive IV project is changing, and at least a 6-month delay is expected.

You can read their full email in our forums (along with some photos) by CLICKING HERE.

Now, on a personal note, I have seen some ugly posts on social media directed at GTP, and even headlines that are misleading. It’s easy, and understandable to be upset as a consumer. But before posting emotional knee-jerk responses, please take a deep breath. Then, keep in mind that there are aspects of what happened that appear to be completely out of their control, and nobody wanted this endeavor to be successful more than the GTP team who invested so much time, effort, and personal finances into the product. Personally, I am hoping for more communication moving forward, and of course for the GTP team to recover from this – we will all be in a better place with the hobby if they do, and have more fun products to look forward to.
