Vintage Millennium Falcon Hits TRU Stores
Our friends at Galactic Hunter have posted via Facebook that the exclusive Vintage Millennium Falcon is currently hitting store shelves as evidenced by the above photo taken in Chandler, AZ. Just a reminder, there is NOTHING new for this vehicle – the deco and the included figures (Han and Chewie) are the same as the prior release. But, if you’re a packaging variant collector or just a TVC collector this is for you.
Remember, ask a store associate to help you get high items off the shelf and have them help you lift your wallet while they’re at it as this will set you back an extra $100 from 2008.
More Vintage Hitting 5 Below
Our friends at JediDefender are reporting that some older Vintage Collection figures like Dagobah Landing Luke, AT-RT Driver and the Clone Trooper (AOTC) are turning up at 5 Below stores. Time to hit up your local store if you have one.
Jumbo Power Droid Pre-Order
Gentle Giant is also now taking pre-orders for their Jumbo Kenner Power Droid figure. Look for this to ship in late 2013.

Toyguide Update: Ewok Scouts (Kmart)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Kmart Exclusive Ewok Scouts from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: For lovers of Ewoks (or Imperial cannon fodder), 2012 has been awesome for collectors as we’ve received nearly a dozen (counting accessory variants) of these little furballs this year. Also, Vintage packaging fans get an introduction to a new way to deliver figures in a nostalglic way. Hasbro is really excited about this packaging form factor and promises that it will lend itself to offering more that just figures in the future. Shipping along side it, this set is complemented by the Endor AT-ST Crew and both sets together, combined with the Kmart Exclusive AT-ST Walker, offer an instant battle scenario that we all recreated as kids.
CONS: Again, like much of 2012 it comes down to availability as there are not a lot of Kmart stores around anymore, hopefully these will turn up on their website soon.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this latest set is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
