Vintage ROTJ Loose Images
Some lucky collectors around the country have been scoring the newest wave from The Vintage Collection at both Target and K-Mart stores, though in limited quantities so far.
This wave really looks to be Hasbro’s best effort in quite some time. Check out a few loose pics of some of the key figures from this wave after the jump!
TVC Wave 5 Cardbacks
Yakreader Frank was kind enough to send us a shot of the new “Darth Vader” cardback that shows the recently announced mixed wave (wave 5) of Vintage figures. Head to our facebook page for a closer look.
Vintage Anakin/Vader Name Change Cardback Found
Yakreader and forum member Michael Brunn sends in another report today, this time he sends word that he found the Vintage Darth Vader (previously labeled as Anakin Skywalker) name change cardback at his Target in Denver, CO. Head to our facebook page for a closer look.
Thanks Michael!

JediNews/Hasbro UK Survey
Following on the success of the Canadian Survey that JediNews ran earlier in the year for Hasbro, they are now giving the UK a chance to give Hasbro their feedback too!
Between now and the middle of 19th November, all those people based in the UK have got the opportunity to participate in the JediNews.co.uk Star Wars Online Survey for Hasbro UK and share your feedback on the Star Wars brand in the UK.
Once they’ve gathered all the results they’ll share them with Hasbro UK.
Another “ROTJ” Wave Report
We’re receiving more reports of the Vintage ROTJ wave (wave 3) hitting all over the US. The latest is from Yakface reader and forum member Michael Brunn. He found a few from this wave at his local Denver, CO Target yesterday.
So, it appears that Target is the place to check this week for the newest figures in the Vintage Collection.
Vintage ROTJ Wave Found in Vegas
Yak reader Rob Mires writes in to say he found the new ROTJ Vintage wave (Wooof, Jedi Luke, Admiral Ackbar and R2 specifically) at his local Target in Las Vegas.
Nice score Rob!
Hasbro Unveils My3D Device for iPhone & iPod
Newswires are reporting this morning that Hasbro has developed a handheld device called My3D that attaches to the two Apple Inc. devices – the iPhone and iPod Touch that promises three-dimensional content that offers a 360-degree experience in gaming, virtual travel experiences and entertainment content. It’s aimed at both children and adults.
With the recent announcement of the complete Star Wars saga being re-released in 3D starting in 2012, I’d say it’s a safe bet that this announcement will lead to some sort of 3D-inspired pack-in and/or downloadable content for the action figure line as 2012 approaches.
Head to Yahoo! Finance for the complete story and after that, head to our forums or facebook page with your thoughts on this new product.
