Hasbro.com has also posted new glam shots of the specialty/fan channel wave of Vintage Collection figures featuring new Photoreal versions of Han Solo (Echo Base), Princess Leia Organa (Hoth), Luke Skywalker (Endor) and Darth Vader. Click on through for a closer look.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme switching over to something that until recently didn’t seem to be in Hasbro’s game plan… PLAYSETS! But of course, something has changed at Hasbro on this front (for the better).
What playsets 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.
We’ve read and received several reports that the long-delayed Walmart Exclusive 3.75” TVC Mimban Stormtrooper has finally started to hit stores. The image above was from a store in Atlanta, GA. via darthdj666.
Update: if you’re looking to use Brickseek as a method of tracking these down, be sure to use the regular assortment code for the Vintage Collection (239252624) as the Mimban Stormtrooper quantities are tied to that number rather than its unique product SKU.
.@Hasbro Not a good start to #HasbroPulse Very poor packaging, damaged items, and on top of it the wrong items shipped. Should have been 3 Yak, 2 Boushh, 1 Scarif, 1 Klaatu. Got 4 Scarif, 3 Klaatu. pic.twitter.com/q6iVkgghJz
