The Vintage Collection Emperor’s Throne Room gives us the long-awaited TVC Emperor Palpatine as well has his iconic throne with window, all packed in a Vintage Kenner-style box. Price: $31.99

VC Numbering Revealed for The Ahsoka/Maul Wave (7)
Thanks to some in-hand packaging shots from a Facebook member, we now have the VC numbers for Wave 7 of the Vintage Collection. They breakdown as follow:
ARC Trooper Echo – VC176
Darth Maul (Mandalore) – VC201
Ahsoka Tano (Mandalore) – VC202
Offworld Jawa (Arvala-7) – VC203
It’s nice to have that 176 gap officially filled after the error of issuing the two Walmart Exclusive TVC figures – Din Djarin and The Child and the Incinerator Stormtrooper the VC177 designation. Now the question is: Who is VC200?
