Despite not receiving the answers that were due back on May 16 for the Hasbro QnA yet, the deadline for the next questions are due to Hasbro this Friday (May 27). A lot of new product info has been revealed in the past couple weeks, so head to the forum to submit your questions for consideration.
An interesting auction has popped up on eBay for a “new” Y-Wing Fighter that looks to be a Vintage box exclusive to Toys”R”Us. As you can see, the box art re-creates the 80’s Kenner version but with modern figures instead. The photo is just blurry and angled enough to raise suspicions regarding its authenticity. Have a look for yourself then leave a comment here or in our forums with your thoughts.
UPDATE: While we don’t have official confirmation just yet, this does coincide with comments Hasbro made regarding a revisiting of the Y-Wing to include a more detailed cockpit and functional droid socket. The Toys”R”Us Exclusive “Vintage” Y-Wing joins the K-Mart Exclusive “Vintage” B-Wing revealed a couple weeks ago and there is word of another previously released vehicle that will be receiving the “Vintage” box treatment as well. More as it develops…

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted new card back images from wave 7 from The Vintage Collection. Head on over for shots of Bom Vimdin, Barriss Offee, Bespin Han Solo, ARC Trooper Commander, Rebel Fleet Trooper and Logray! These figures were purchased in the Philippines so the what we see released in the US in the next couple weeks might differ slightly.
