TVC Wave 9 Still Eludes Collectors
As evidenced by our recent post on Facebook, the Vintage Collection’s Wave 9 still seems to prove difficult to find for some collectors. Although I’ve been fortunate to see decent quantities of this wave, many collectors have all but given up hope for seeing this new assortment at retail. As a result, we’ve posted a new poll on our Facebook page asking how often do you actively “hunt” for new product at retail? Head on over to our facebook page to participate and join in on the chatter.

This may smell bad kid, but it’ll keep your…. feet warm???
Upon “playing” with my new Search for Luke Skywalker set tonight, I decided to perform abdominal surgery* on the new Tauntaun to see how roomy the interior might be should Hasbro decide to make an “open belly” version. I’m sad to report that unless they make him with removable legs, there will be no way to have the new Hoth Luke fit (convincingly) inside the steamy guts of the fell-beast. You can check out facebook page for a better look.
*The belly plug is affixed with glue in a few spots but, if you’re careful, you can remove it with little to no damage to the tauntaun.
Facebook Poll: Maul Packaging
Now that you’ve seen shots of the actual product, we posted a poll on our facebook page asking what you think of the new Maul packaging showcased at NYCC?
