Entertainment Earth is currently taking preorders for Wave 5 of the Vintage Collection which re-issued and improves 4 previously released TVC figures: Princes Leia (Hoth), Han Solo (Hoth), Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker (Endor). The assortment can be ordered by the case or as a set of 4.
Walmart currently has in stock quantities for the new TVC Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) figure.
Thanks to David H. for the heads-up.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme moving onto MULTIPACKS!
To help keep this theme as simple as possible, I’d suggest going with multi-pack THEMES rather than trying to call out individual figures. So for example: Saw Gerrera’s Partisans 3-pk, Kessel Droids 3-pk, etc.
What multipacks do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.
Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
Those one or two TVC TIE Fighters you’ve been seeing on the shelf at your local Walmart may be turning into an entire fleet soon, as St. Louis area Walmarts have been suddenly receiving mass quantities of this ship. Let us know if you’re seeing the same thing.
Personal Note: $79 is just too high of a price for this ship… would be surprised if these aren’t on rollback / clearance before too long.

Eggmanstudios on Twitter shares with us a few new images of the upcoming Target Exclusive #VC143 Han Solo (Stormtrooper) figure.
There are errors and then there are errors. This one may be one of the best ones so far in terms of its uniqueness. Collector William M. from the We Backed the Barge Facebook group posted this amazing sample featuring the exclusive Yak Face affixed to the card, bubble and all, upside down. Congrats, that’s a keeper!
Now that some of us are starting to receive mighty Jabba’s Sail Barge, we’re curious what your first impressions are once having it in person! Are you blown away, or are you finding aspects you feel Hasbro should have done better on?
Forum member Lance Quazar has posted some nice pics and shared some observations for your viewing pleasure here. Check out the images, and share your own thoughts here or in the forums.
Personal Note: I’m reading from various buyers that the Ithorian corpse is not removable… that’s kind of a letdown. But overall most of what I’m reading is extremely positive, outside of some not-so-great experiences with boxes arriving damaged. I can’t wait to finally receive mine and get it all set up and hope we see several more offerings on par with this in the Star Wars 3.75″ line.
DorksideToys.com and Yakface.com are happy to announce the Jabba’s Sail Barge Ultimate Giveaway*. Simply follow the instructions on the above graphic on Instagram to enter. Winner will be selected on March 15, 2019. *Open to continental U.S. residents only. (Giveaway is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, Lucasfilm or Hasbro/HasLab).
A SECOND barge will be given away to attendees of Star Wars Celebration Chicago next month. Stay tuned for details.
The first barge orders have started to arrive to collectors. Frank L. posted a few shots on Facebook but one of note has already sparked some discussion. There is no styrofoam corners in inside the box to prevent the Barge’s gorgeous box from damage. I suspect a few horror stories will be shared as a result of this.
Looks like Hasbro’s dipping back into the orange line 3.75″ Black Series again as a new listing has popped up on Walmart.com via Brickseek for a Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony) figure for the Vintage Collection. No word yet on exclusivity. On a related note, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 6″ version of this figure before too long.
