While Hasbro has officially announced the Vintage Collection Chewbacca (repacked from the 3.75″ Black Series line) today at MCM Comic-Con, we’ve heard word of another repack coming to fill an empty slot in the assortment for 2019: R2-D2. Now, it would make sense to re-release that BaR2-D2 (VC25) to accompany the barge, but this figure is currently – and curiously – labeled as “E4”. I guess we’ll have to wait and see when it’s officially announced.

Back in 2014, StarWars.com relaunched with a brand new site which had a dedicated section for Fan News and Blog Sites, Fan Collecting Sites and Fan Podcasts. Jake Stevens from From 4-LOM to Zuckuss noticed that those sections now have all been removed from their Community page and replaced with a statement as follows:
