EntertainmentEarth.com is now taking pre-orders for the Vintage Collection “Deleted Scene” case assortment. This case includes a mix of the The Phantom Menace figures as well as the new “Deleted Scene” figures (Luke, Leia, Lando, Mon Calamari Pilot and Colonel Cracken). Get your orders in today!
New Product Continues to Trickle Out
Hasbro’s theoretical street date of Jan. 30 continues to be ignored. We’re receiving reports daily of collectors finding new products at their local Target and Walmart stores. In fact, today I managed to score myself the entire Vintage TPM wave and New Clone Wars assortment at Walmart. Remember, persistence pays off sometimes, but it also costs an arm and a leg too.
TVC TPM Wave Packaging Variants
It seems that this wave, though barely unofficially out (let alone officially), already has variant packaging. Cases of the The Phantom Menace wave have hit Walmart without the Darth Maul Giveaway/Promo sticker nor do they include the mailaway entry forms packed in the bubble. You can check out a shot of this in our forums courtesy of member Jedighost009.
TVC Deleted Scene Images at Sandtroopers
It’s a month before Toy Fair so what better time to spoil some of Hasbro’s fun with a first look at carded shots of the Blu-Ray Deleted Scene wave of Vintage Collection figures. Head on over to Sandtroopers.com for images of Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber Construction), Princess Leia (Sandstorm Outfit), Lando Calrissian (Sandstorm Outfit), Colonial Cracken (Millennium Falcon Crew), Rebel Pilot (Mon Calamari) and more!
Toyguide Update: VC63 B-Wing Pilot (Keyan Farlander)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the B-Wing Pilot (Keyan Farlander) (VC63) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: A solid sculpt from the TLC Evolution set makes for a great release on the Vintage card. The perfect accompaniment to the Kmart exclusive B-Wing Fighter.
CONS: The relatively unexciting nature of the figure, coupled with it shipping on two different cardbacks pretty much guaranteed this figure “pegwarmer” status. Keyan Farlander again? Really?
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure 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.
