A reminder that preorders* for the Hasbro Pulse exclusive Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room will be closing tonight at 11:59:59pm ET. Expected delivery of this set is scheduled for September 2023, preorders may open again as we get closer to that date.

Hasbro Pulse Con gave a nice peek into the future of the Vintage Collection with a few Pipeline Reveals specifically targeted toward the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi. They include: Darth Vader (retool), Weequay (reissue), Woof (reissue), Nikto (reissue), Kithaba (reissue), Yak Face! (Saelt Marae) (reissue), and the rumored Endor Bunker Playset (new) as well as the Female Tusken Warrior (new), and Clone Captain Howzer (reissue). Look for all of these in 2023.
A code name for a new Vintage Collection Playset has started show up in systems. The environment of the world-building playset, “Blake”, is unknown nor is the release date but the price point is set for now at $55.99.

Intel gathered indicates that the above clip is from a hand-painted prototype, and the actual production piece will be even higher quality than we see here. They are also in the process of improving the LED feature.
Preorders will remain open through the end of June. If you are wanting to ensure you have this piece, you can place your order here.
A lot of questions have been posed regarding the status of the 1:12 Scale Tantive IV Blockade Runner Display Set. Recently GTP sent out an email notifying current and potential customers about a shake up in their business as well as production delays due to COVID restrictions for their first officially licensed product. They look to be able to full preorders by July/August 2021 and no more will be made after that due to low sales volumes. If you’re looking to get this for your collection it may be best not to wait.
Hasbro added a little feature to the TVC Tantive IV playset that is easy to overlook… an envelope containing ten (10) removable foot pegs is included.
The envelope is not very obvious, so make sure you look for it before disposing of any packaging. There are also slots under the floor panel to store them.
Collectors can now pose their figures in dynamic poses without interfering with the overall aesthetics of the set. Thank you to our readers / forum members for calling this out.
Last night I was able to find a little bit of time to open up a couple of the new TVC Tantive IV playsets and combine them.
Overall, I like it but I do feel that Hasbro could have put a little more effort in here. It’s not the quality of the GTP Space Walls lineup, but it’s still a worthwhile purchase in my opinion and Hasbro continues to take steps in the right direction.
Head on over to the forums for some additional details and a closer look after the jump!
To my surprise, my order of three Tantive IV playsets arrived today from Dorkside Toys. Be checking your order status if you pre-ordered this item.
The wait is over! Now officially licensed, GTP Toys & Collectibles has launched its latest product for the 1:12 collecting community: The Tantive IV Blockade Runner Replica Display set.
Measuring over 36-inches long, this jaw-dropping scene is large enough to display more than 30 1:12 scale figures at a time. The set features a removable door, realistic floor, 100+ static and blinking LEDs, and is loaded with tiny details and accuracy that only comes from access to the Lucasfilm source materials.
If you preorder by December 13, you can take advantage of their introductory price of $179.99. Shipping begins in March 2021.
