Shipping notifications are started to hit inboxes of those who ordered (with the special one-time use code) the SDCC/Convention Exclusive Vintage Collection Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett. No word yet on when preorders will open for general purchase.
Update: This set will be available for order/preorder on this Friday, July 28 at 12pm ET on Hasbro Pulse
During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).
Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?
Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.
