TVC Wave 7 Shipping and “Revenge” Wave Delayed ’til Oct

Our pal Adam Pawlus over at Galactic Hunter and Entertainment Earth has posted updated shipping info regarding The Vintage Collection’s Wave 7 and the now delayed wave 8. TVC Wave 7 (the RFT, Logray, Fordo etc. wave) is now shipping from most online retailers, but it looks as if wave 8 and its revision case, which both include the Revenge of the Jedi recard figures, has been pushed back until October. Question is, what does that mean for the SDCC exclusive Revenge of the Jedi Mega Set?

Toyguide Update: VC28 Wedge Antilles

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Wedge Antilles from the 2011 Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave (Wave 3) case revision 11.

PROS: Finally, Wedge receives a basic (non-exclusive) carded release. Likeness is above average and looks great on the Vintage-style card back.

CONS: It’s hard to believe we waited so long for Wedge considering there is nothing “new” here other than the head. The helmet is very snug on the figure’s head when worn so the head may come off the post when trying to remove the helmet. The limited availability of the Vintage Collection may hamper the ability to find this figure which is sending secondary market prices for this latest version of Wedge to ridiculous heights.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
