Reports are coming in that collectors are scoring the latest waves of animated figures this past week, mostly at Wal-Mart.
While prowling the pegs for Vintage Gamorreans, I saw some of the new Clone Wars figures firsthand, and was more impressed with these than most of their recent offerings… check out a few loose pics and judge for yourself if Hasbro is stepping up the quality on this line here.
Hasbro also sends word detailing the release of the upcoming Vintage 9-Pack.
It’s a very exciting time for Star Wars as the extraordinary Target exclusive Vintage 9-pack will be going on sale soon (Nov. 28th). There are two important things to note with this set. First, this set will be more limited than some of our other recent exclusives. Second, Target (and we) are so excited about the Vintage collection overall and these 3-packs that we have decided to keep this “collection within a collection” idea going at Target. Another wave of 3 3-packs will be coming in Spring and like these, they follow the Vintage character lineups. We think this an exciting development, and thanks to Target’s support, hopefully fans will be treated to even more in this series. Thanks again for the support and be sure to get to Target soon. Happy Holidays – the Hasbro Star Wars team.
There you have it! Start looking for this exclusive set next week.
Back in 2005, Hasbro’s ROTS Clone Trooper sculpt was amazing. Here we are now in 2010, and Hasbro is now using a new mold, with a removable helmet for the Vintage line Clone Troopers.
But is this really a step forward in terms of the aesthetics of the figure, or did Hasbro regress with the new mold?
Decide for yourself after the jump!
Sir Steve’s Guide has gotten their hands on a preliminary list of figures that has been discovered in the bowels of the Wal-mart databanks. Head on over for the complete list.
Remember, this is an unofficial list and product release schedules may change or be dropped all together, but this list does look promising.
Our friends at Rebelscum have posted a new list of potential Vintage wave assortments for next year. Head on over for a glimpse into the possible future for the line.
Some lucky collectors around the country have been scoring the newest wave from The Vintage Collection at both Target and K-Mart stores, though in limited quantities so far.
This wave really looks to be Hasbro’s best effort in quite some time. Check out a few loose pics of some of the key figures from this wave after the jump!
Yakreader Frank was kind enough to send us a shot of the new “Darth Vader” cardback that shows the recently announced mixed wave (wave 5) of Vintage figures. Head to our facebook page for a closer look.
Yakreader and forum member Michael Brunn sends in another report today, this time he sends word that he found the Vintage Darth Vader (previously labeled as Anakin Skywalker) name change cardback at his Target in Denver, CO. Head to our facebook page for a closer look.
Thanks Michael!
We’re receiving more reports of the Vintage ROTJ wave (wave 3) hitting all over the US. The latest is from Yakface reader and forum member Michael Brunn. He found a few from this wave at his local Denver, CO Target yesterday.
So, it appears that Target is the place to check this week for the newest figures in the Vintage Collection.
