New SDCC Image Reveals Fat Bib Number Problem
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 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.
