Definitive release order list?

[Carpeteria3000]

Anyone know of a definitive release order list of the vintage figures? Kellerman's book is pretty comprehensive, but instead of a linear release order, he puts figures like the 3 different R2D2s together in a row, as opposed to the order in which they were actually released. Has anyone put together a list like this? I'm sorta OCD as far as displaying goes - I'd like them to be as "in order" as they can be. Because I'm an idiot.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about a list like that, but the release order should be the same as the order they are on the back of the cards.

Up to this point I'd been using Sansweet's book as a guide for release dates just by the order he put them in.  Probably not right, as the book has lots of flaws.  I know that's not much help, just $0.02 worth.

The card backs are definitely not accurate. For one, they change the order with each new number; beyond that, the order is not remotely linear. For instance, if you went by the 92 back card, the seventh figure released would be FX-7. That's obviously not right.

I don't have Sansweet's book, but I'll see what I can find regarding that.

I have that book handy and can post the order if you like Carp?

That would be awesome, if it's not too much trouble - thanks!

Well Yak was last, wasn't he?  So the order is already off. 

[Carpeteria3000]

Thanks, Jayson. I had the same thought as Brent, though. For some reason, the POTF ordering is always the one that seems off.

[Jayson]

I would assume that Yak Face came out in the same wave as the Imp Dignitary so whether he came out last or second to last could be debatable.

[Carpeteria3000]

Well, technically Yak Face wasn't released at all in the U.S., while the Imperial Dignitary was, so I'd side with the Dignitary being released ahead of him. Yak Face is often referred to as the 93rd and final figure, as well.

Personally I've always considered Yak Face as the 96th as the card backs/poster don't show both versions of 3PO and the 3 versions R2 at the same time (bring the total to 96 carded figures).

Would they not have be released in order by the serial numbers on the packing?

Ah ha! So you admit he's the last figure!

Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for - thanks!

i think they went by the number in the top left corner of the cards when they did the figure of the week.
