A new image from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook group reveals a problem that continues to unexplicably plague the Hasbro Star Wars brand team. The Vintage Collection “Fat” Bib Fortuna pack-in for the Boba Fett’s Throne Room on display at SDCC features the number VC276 on the cardback. The problem is that number already assigned to the Walmart exclusive ARC Commander Colt. If only there was some sort of technology to catalog the numbers for easy cross-referencing.
New images from SDCC confirms a few new Vintage Collection characters from our previous rumor reports including Morgan Elsbeth and HK:87 Assassin Droid. Also shown is Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ahsoka Tano.
Thanks to Steve on the ground at SDCC for the image.
It’s been a few months since we’ve done one of these but as we prepare for another onslaught of solicitations from SDCC, here is a list of approximately 50 outstanding preorders* (U.S. only) for Black Series and Vintage Collection items. If you’ve preordered everything, the list is large but about a year ago at this time it was in the range of 80-90 preorders yet to be fulfilled. Yay progress!
*if an item isn’t on the list, there is a chance it has already been found at retail but preorders haven’t been fulfilled.
Hasbro has revealed and new Vintage Collection Jabba the Hutt set exclusively coming to Hasbro Pulse. This set features Jabba in is gluttonous glory with dais and accessories — plus includes 8D8 and Salacious Crumb! Priced at $89.99, preorders open tomorrow at 10am ET at Hasbro Pulse. Full details at Gizmodo.com.
Update:Hasbro’s latest video also confirms that 8D8 and Salacious Crumb will both be individually carded with the latter being on a mini card reminiscent of its original release in the 2011 SDCC exclusive Revenge of the Jedi Death Star II set.
Hasbro has revealed this year’s SDCC exclusiveVintage Collection item featuring Krrsantan from The Book of Boba Fett. This version feature a different (screaming) head sculpt from the upcoming deluxe retail release as features extra accessories/weapons. Price is $39.99 and will be available through Hasbro Pulse during SDCC with QR code access as well as a limited quantity after Comic-Con.
This supports our report from May and confirms the “Tiny” code name.
As we approach the official launch of the next Vintage Collection Haslab project at SDCC, I thought this would be an opportune time to ramble on some changes I’d like to see for future campaigns to ensure success for not just Star Wars, but all Haslab projects.
