The Vintage Collection / Re: 2011 "Vintage" Collection Wave 5
« on: February 10, 2011, 11:23 PM »
I just came back from my local Wal-Mart where I found 4 cases of this wave - the boxes were marked W1R1 for Wave 1 Revision 1.
I got to open up all 4 cases and the kicker of this revision is that the Jedi Luke in the case comes with the updated cardback...
This was the first time for me seeing the cardback, I haven't heard anyone else make mention of it. It's a solid cardback overall imo - to match a great figure, I had to buy 3.
- but Hasbro did not correct the silver border around the nameplate. The figure itself is the variant/correction with the belt hole for the lightsaber hilt (which itself has the peg).
The case came with the following (1 figure of each)...
ANH "Yavin Ceremony" Han
ANH Luke
ANH R5-D4
ANH Sandtrooper
ESB Stormtrooper
ESB Darth Vader
ROTJ Jedi Luke
ROTS Yoda
ROTS Cmdr. Gree
ROTS Darth Vader
ROTS Utapau Clone
ROTS General Grievous

The Vintage Collection / Re: Vintage Wave 6
« on: January 16, 2011, 12:06 PM »Totally bummed about the Lando. Nice to get the upgrade, but the card back is very disappointing.
It's a bit dull but at least it shows him with the cape. I think a Falcon shot would not have it? But I know what you mean. I think for the wave the Skiffmaster looks the best. Then again I've been wanting this figure for a long time. I'm just hyped to finally be getting it.
The photo used for the Lando cardback is the same one used for the original vintage POTF figure...
This will be the first POTF figure in the TVC line, nicely done.
Not a fan of these mixed movie waves, the PT figures make this somewhat of a yawn wave.

A nod to the vintage design would be nice, Hasbro could do alternate heads one with the headset and one without. Here's how one with a headset could look (the head is from the TSC Endor Soldier), a custom I made over 4 years...
Something like this with better articulation and improved helmet would be a great nod to both the vintage figure and the cardback itself.

Thanks guys, it was a good year for vintage for me. Hopefully next year will be better.
McMetal - I hope you get that worked out with the Ewok Battle Wagon. Very suspect activity by the seller, more proof that using eBay is hazardous.
Dale - thanks for answering the question on the AT-AT Driver variant, you beat me to the punch. I was doing some online searching for proof of the variant and surprisingly couldn't find much even though I knew of it for years.
As for the Jedi Luke Snap Cape, according to this variation list on the Archive, the Snap Cape did come with the Green saber. I know the RS link posted references it, but I don't hold the RS Vintage guide highly when it comes to variations as it disregards, ignores, or even attempts to discredit a lot of documented variants. It is good though for quality pictures, so it does have its uses.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2010 "Best Of" The Vintage Collection

The entire ROTJ wave line would be in my opinion the very best of the Vintage Collection. In fact I think it's Hasbro's best wave of figures ever - great assortment of characters, detailing, sculpting, articulation, and features make this wave downright awesome. If Wedge had made this wave, it would have been legendary!
Also add in the Target exclusive Hoth (Attack on / Defense of) battle packs, for $40 you get 3 great figures and excellent vehicles/diorama pieces. A pretty good deal considering 3 figures cost approx $21 individually so the AT-ST and Cannons are less than $20! Quite the value if you ask me.

Lots of great pickups lately from everyone. I thought I'd share my scores from CV and WizardWorld Chicago this past summer. Most of these figures are upgrades others are variants I needed. What's especially nice is that with the exception of the Yak-Face, I didn't pay more than $10 for any of the figures below...
R2-D2 (came in an opened baggie), Super clean Boba Fett, Molded Boot Rebel Soldier
Red-Logo AT-AT Driver, Admiral Ackbar, Snap Cape Jedi Luke (actually had the cape already, just scored the minty fig & weapons)
Hong Kong dark stripe Logray, Klaatu Skiff Guard, 8D8
Yak-Face
Baggies! AT-AT Commander & Prune Face
Other pickups not pictured include a POTF General Lando with blaster which was used to complete my POTF Endor Luke. Also a funny pickup was a POTF2 Jedi Luke that came with ROTJ Endor Leia's helmet & poncho.
Only 2 more figures for a complete loose collection, maybe 2011 will finally be the year...

The biggest issue I have with the Han is that they put the re-tooling on the wrong part. Instead of giving him a new head, they should have re-tooled the torso - Han's shirt was buttoned all the way up during the medal ceremony. It's great to see the VOTC sculpt back out, but this could have been done better.

Awesome, thanks for posting this iFett! I saw it right before I left work this evening and after striking out at a couple of stores the 3rd time was the charm. With the sale and the coupon, I scored an AT-AT for $50, saving $60 off the regular price + tax. This is no doubt the deal of the year.
