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…
eBay super seller “Tunghori” has added 3 of the new Star Tours Travel Agency Pack figures to his eBay store. Head on over for the Luggage Attendant, ACE-38 Droid and ALY SAN SAN.
PROS: Hasbro has done an amazing job at re-creating the original Boba Fett. The sculpt and paint operations are very crisp and well executed. Looks gorgeous on the Vintage card.
CONS: The figure suffers from balance issues due to the incorporation of the rocket-firing feature. The ankles also seem to be sculpted in an angle that makes standing (without the aid of a display stand) a challenge. Hand sculpt (right hand) for holding the blaster is too wide and thus is prone to dropping the weapon. Despite this flaws, this figure is not one to pass on.
