2006 Vintage Saga Collection (vTSC)

[Mitsukara]

I went out of town Thursday (the 6th) and didn't see any of these, so unless I go out of town again soon enough, I'll be waiting and hoping for these to pop up at our Wal Mart.

I'll have to be sure to check the whole aisle, since it seems the VTSCs are getting their own pegs at least in certain places, rather than mingling with the TSC figures.

I certainly hope that's right about the Wal Mart prices being $11; TSC figures have gone up to $6.60ish ("order 66 d00ds!" Sorry, bad reference to a refererence joke >.<) now it seems.

Han in the most disappointing figure in the bunch in my opinion. Same head sculpt, legs, holster and hands (modified for this sculpt) as the first VOTC and his shirt sculpt doesn't quite capture Han's look in ROTJ.

Different head sculpts.  Although I'd say I kind of wish they'd have just used the first head-sculpt in this instance, it looks better IMO.  With the coat on I'd say that the Han is my second favorite of the bunch.

You know, I held both of mine up togeather and only noticed the paint difference. Must have had the lights down. I can see the difference now, but it dosn't seem all that much. I think I would have like the Saga Carbonite head better.

Apparently Han shrunk over time...

Has anyone else had problems opening the clamshells? I opened my first of two Biker Scouts and I had to tear apart the clamshell to get to the card. I see that the clamshell design is slightly different from the VOTC line in that there are indentations along the edges where there should be tape. I don't see any tape at all, so it's a bit more difficult to get these guys open. While I'm a loose collector, I've displayed all the VOTC cards in their clamshells as a sort of wallpaper and wanted to do the same with the VTSC. Any help here on this before I go opening the rest would be great. Thanks!

I had to do that with my Biker Scout clamshell too... Apparently it's to prevent people from stealing the POPs and Redemption cards.

Yeah, there is definitely no salvaging these clamshells. I cut around the complete outer edge to get my figures out.

[Darth_Anton]

I've actually cut the back portion on the clam shell. Not that I need to display them, or don't have extras from the stormie army, but It does allow one to remove the card and slip it back in if needed and have it look perfect from the front.

For those who don't always check the front page (shame on you!  ), I thought I'd let you know that Jared's worked his way though all five of the VTSC figures.  Click the thumbnails below to check them out if for some reason you haven't been checking already!

I hadn't noticed it yet (and I don't know if it's been mentioned yet), but I'm glad that they kept the "Sand People" nomenclature on all the packaging.

"Tusken Raider" is cool and all, but I kind of like the quaintness of the old school names. . .

Man, everytime I check out your images I want to go out and buy the props he uses!

This image rocks!

[Jayson]

A lot of sweet shots in there Jared... I can't wait to shoot these guys as well!

[DarthAcroyear]

Very nice pictures.

Annatar, a member here and fellow collector in Utah found the VTSC in Utah today at a TRU for $9.99! Good find!

[Darth_Anton]

More awsome pictures, Jared! Thanks.
