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.

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 indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
Also, we’re keeping Expanded Universe (or Legends if you want to call it that) pretty open to any time period, and not being strict here on what you want to define this as – but the trend in the forums seems to be “pre-Disney” genre, such as KOTOR, Shadows of the Empire, Thrawn Trilogy, The Force unleashed, etc.
