Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have reported that Vintage Collection Wave 6 has hit Wal-Mart in the New Jersey area. For those keeping score, that is 22 figures (not counting packaging variants) in a few short weeks and depending on pricing in your area, that equates to over$200.00!
Carded images have surfaced today for the Vintage Collection’s wave 7 that includes Has Solo (Bespin Outfit), Barriss Offee (Jedi Padawan), Rebel Fleet Trooper, Bom Vimdin, ARC Trooper Commander (aka Fordo), and Logray (Ewok Medicine Man). Head to our forums for a quick look.
You can also head over to Rebelscum for some nice, new loose images of this wave as well.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Target Exclusive Special Ops Clone Trooper and Geonosian Drone from the The Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: Another great set of characters from the popular “Landing at Point Rain” episode from Season 2. With the rising cost of individual basic figures, these 2 packs are far more attractive than before. The Special Ops Clone Trooper has a great overall design with signature “Leia Buns” helmet. The Geonosian Drone too, has a great sculpt highlighted by a very nice paint job that almost passes for a realistic (non-animated) figure.
CONS: The only thing that could have made this set better is if Hasbro would have included a backpack for the Clone Trooper as most of the Special Ops Troopers wore them in this particular episode.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebookand in our forums.
