SDCC 2023: Hasbro Vintage Collection Cassian Pipeline Reveal
During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).
Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?
Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.

TVC: Recent Acquisitions
I think most of us would agree that hunting for TVC at retail is almost always a complete waste of time and has been for quite a while. There are of course ways to somewhat easily acquire new figures online however, or even through online marketplaces like Mercari (which I am now addicted to).
Today, I had an unexpected surprise by scoring a trio of TVC Shadow Stormtroopers at a local collector shop basically for standard retail… sure the figure is just a repaint, but it’s better than staring at empty pegs. It actually made my day to upgrade my Shadow Stormtroopers finally, and the cardback looks awesome too.
That being said, what are your most recent acquisitions?
