Vintage Collection Rumors

[Mister Skeezler]

There's one that comes with the blaster he used towards the end of the movie.  I'd get that one if I could find it.

$4.50 free pickup at Walmart...the price is right for a 5-POA figure. Thanks!

Thoughts or guesses on who/what we're getting?  Below are the eight that are left to be revealed for Spring/Summer 2019.

Basic Figures:
2019 VC141 To Be Announced [2019 Wave 02]
2019 VC149 To Be Announced [2019 Wave 03]

Waiting on Hasbro to confirm the numbers, but it looks like the Chewbacca and R2-D2 repacks revealed in Europe this past weekend are going to fill these two slots in the basic figure line...  based on release info Chewbacca is likely VC141 and R2-D2 is likely VC149.

Exciting.

My Solo: A Star Wars Story Hon needs a Chewbacca.

Revealed for Fall 2019 - repack X-Wing Pilot Poe Dameron:

[Nicklab]

The only upside on this release is the improved paint apps.

[Mister Skeezler]

I really wish Jyn Erso, Rey and Cassian had the improved paint apps when they were (just) rereleased.

[Matt_Fury]

I'm ok with this because I need another Poe for the TRU Exclusive X-wing I purchased earlier this year.

[Jesse James]

I’m ok with it.  It’s a more interesting figure than the R2 that’s for sure.  And all the previous ones had some really bad face decos so this is ok to me personally.  I’m in.

[Darth_Anton]

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm happy to have a no-frills R2 on a Star Wars card, just for nostalgia's sake. Wish it were the newest sculpt, though, not the BAD.

[Diddly]

The only upside on this release is the improved paint apps.

Agreed, an instant purchase for me. The WM BS Poe's had some of the worst paint apps I've ever seen in the line, behind the TFA Starkiller Han.

I just read this:  Rumor Report: TVC Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard Disguise)

And it's got me wondering what we're going to get.  Because the TVC Sandstorm Lando Calrissian was probably the best version of Lando in the Skiff guard disguise that we've ever gotten.  Is this just going to the Sandstorm version minus the goggles and poncho?

[Jesse James]

I’m banking on repack yeah...  it makes sense for sure and once again knocks off a collect all 92 figure if they just do regular old RotJ Skiff Lando.  Be cool if it came with all the extra gear too just because but I doubt it.

A new or retooled figure would be a waste of time imho but they redid the Death Star gunner and I felt that was kind of a waste too, personally.  But with Lando it really feels like an updated sculpt is unnecessary.

[Nicklab]

I think the only real benefit to doing Skiff Guard Lando would be the new facial printing technique and the cardback.  Hasbro seemed just fine with reissuing the TBS 3.75" Leia in Boussh disguise to do the exact same thing... why not with Lando?

[Jesse James]

Yeah I think it’ll be a similar dealio...  I felt the old deco was fine too though.  That was a figure that seemed to fly under the radar for how good it was.  All those sandstorm figures were nice.
