They don’t make X-Wings like they used to…
Hopefully this is an isolated case, but Yakface staffer Jodo received his new TVC Poe’s X-Wing today, and the back engines were severely warped. Mine also came in the mail today, and didn’t have this problem. Several pics of both of our X-Wings are posted in the forums.
Anyone else noticing any quality control issues with this X-Wing? Let us know, and what your overall thoughts are for this new ship if you’ve gotten your hands on one by now.
Rumor Report: TVC Sith Trooper Builder Pack Images?
I managed to locate images on Amazon for that rumored Vintage Collection “Bruges Build Up Pack” we’ve been hearing about for a while now. No details are really known, but it looks to include 3 Sith Trooper each with their own weaponry – comparable to what was packed with the exclusive 6″ Black Series version. Click on through for some larger images.
Update: NYCC has confirmed that this is a special TVC exclusive figure that includes all of the weapons on a single card.

Rumor Report: TVC Vader’s Challenge Leaked?
While browsing the Star Wars landing page on Target.com I noticed a curious group of figures in one of the banners promoting their Triple Force Friday launch. It features Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training), Yoda and Darth Vader and that Luke figure definitely appears to have a photo reveal face.
Does this image confirm our rumor last week of a Vintage Collection “Darth Vader’s Challenge” set? We should know soon enough.
5” GOA Darth Vader Size Comparison
The other day I managed to purchase a few new items at Target (they were not register blocked nor did I resort to any trickery or sweet talking) one of which was the new 5” Galaxy of Adventures Darth Vader. Above is a quick size comparison showing how this new line measures up with others. For $10 and with as much articulation as a TVC or TBS figure, this line is pretty nice.
