The Vintage Collection / Re: Amazon Vintage TIE Interceptor
« on: February 9, 2013, 10:46 PM »My only concern with Amazon having these exclusives is how am I gonna get my MIB/MIP ones?
Hasbro has heard the complaints and have talked with Amazon about how they package figures. They are concerned as we are that their product makes it to the customers hands in good condition. Whether Amazon listens is another thing.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 2013 SDCC Exclusive 6" Fett w/Carbonite Block
« on: February 9, 2013, 10:42 PM »Fear not - from GalacticHunter's Facebook page:
"SDCC Exclusive will be Boba Fett with Han in Carbonite. Han in Carbonite will be exclusive to show. Fett will be general release figure no variations."
So Fett will come with both gauntlets then... so you'd need to get two if you want Empire and Jedi versions? It's nice they talked to GH more about this... with me they didn't get too much into detail...kind of 'wait and see'. But I didn't ask about Fett, but if Carbonite Han would light up.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Kmart Imperial Scanning Crew 2-Pack
« on: February 9, 2013, 10:15 PM »Did you notice if the heads were new Steve?
I did not... too busy being excited and writing things down... plus the images didn't stay up for long.

Saga Legends / Re: Target "The Rise of Darth Vader" Battle Pack
« on: February 9, 2013, 10:12 PM »Sounds like it includes Vader, Operating Table and some other figures. I'm also not sure if this is really a TVC item or if it's a cheapy Legends item... I'll just put it here for now (Vintage) and move it later if needed.
It's Vader, Emperor, FX-6, Shocktrooper and table.
The hasbro dio photo showed Chopper droid, not FX-6.
You're right... forgot the guy's name.

The Vintage Collection / Re: Big Items of the Future!
« on: February 9, 2013, 09:52 PM »You look at today's presentation and it's VERY CLEAR. We need to look at 2013 as a year to essentially reset the line and Star Wars as a whole. Until Episode VII gets into production and the Disney hype machine can get things rolling, I think we're looking at a pretty bleak year. Meaning no large vehicles. Especially when you don't have media to support the release of that large vehicle.
That's exactly what Hasbro was saying. Without the movies, there was no media support for the movies. And now with the movies coming out soon, they are gearing things up for that.

There should be an image of the box.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?
« on: February 9, 2013, 07:07 PM »lf I missed the answer I'm sorry, but will these figures come with a figure stand? 6" figures usually need them..
I didn't hear this being asked, but they were not displayed with stands.

Maybe general retail can't, but how about exclusives? As Jay mentioned, the Falcon is TRU...and now that Amazon is in the game, who knows?

One of the guys hinted that vehicles might be possible. But he did say don't expect a 6" Sail Barge.
