A new image from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook group reveals a problem that continues to unexplicably plague the Hasbro Star Wars brand team. The Vintage Collection “Fat” Bib Fortuna pack-in for the Boba Fett’s Throne Room on display at SDCC features the number VC276 on the cardback. The problem is that number already assigned to the Walmart exclusive ARC Commander Colt. If only there was some sort of technology to catalog the numbers for easy cross-referencing.
Black Series Pre Vizsla glam images have been released and you can see here the reuse of the original Jango Fett body for a majority of the sculpt. Preorders open Sat, July 22 at 5pm ET.
New images from SDCC confirms a few new Vintage Collection characters from our previous rumor reports including Morgan Elsbeth and HK:87 Assassin Droid. Also shown is Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ahsoka Tano.
Thanks to Steve on the ground at SDCC for the image.
Walmart’s gonna Walmart but don’t panic (yet). Walmart has sent out price adjustment notifications (adj. to $0.00) to those who preordered TBS Arc Trooper Fives. The orders are not canceled, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be. Just keep an eye on them and see where this goes.
It’s been a few months since we’ve done one of these but as we prepare for another onslaught of solicitations from SDCC, here is a list of approximately 50 outstanding preorders* (U.S. only) for Black Series and Vintage Collection items. If you’ve preordered everything, the list is large but about a year ago at this time it was in the range of 80-90 preorders yet to be fulfilled. Yay progress!
*if an item isn’t on the list, there is a chance it has already been found at retail but preorders haven’t been fulfilled.
