Vintage Collection Pricing - Sales, Discounts, Price Hikes!

Not bad!

STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Speeder Bike, Return of The Jedi 3.75-Inch Collectible Vehicle with Action Figure - $18.03


STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Speeder Bike, Scout Trooper & Grogu, The Mandalorian 3.75-Inch Vehicle & Action Figures - $31.45

The price on the Mandalorian version is closer to what I think most collectors would be comfortable paying.  I would probably max it out at $34.99.  Whether or not Hasbro can read the room and adjust prices accordingly?  I guess we'll know more when the Blurrg and Mando get released.

Damn at $18 it’s basic figure pricing with a really fancy accessory. 

**** it I bought two more.  I already have two extras that I haven’t bothered to open but at that price I’m almost good just getting more Biker Scouts.

I also could give bikes to Luke, Leia, and Paploo but I expect Hasbro will do that for us at some point before too long.

The BOBF Slave I is $105 on Amazon right now if anyone was waiting.

Here is a weird one - EE is once again taking pre-orders for the original Walmart exclusive version of the VC231 Stormtrooper at the original $15 price.

So you can get the VC231 original card (with warning on the Hildebrandt logo) for $14.99 each -> https://ee.toys/GSYLT0



Or the new cardback with the relocated warning box for $16.99 each -> https://ee.toys/H60ZR2



The shipping dates are not even that different (June vs July of 2024).  If you're looking to bulk purchase Stormtroopers, free shipping starts at 6 of the $15 version at EE.

EE just canceled my order for these, they said the manufacturer has informed them they won't be producing them.

So I guess not...

Same, I had about 40 of these pre-ordered since last summer too that I was waiting on.

EE just canceled my order for these, they said the manufacturer has informed them they won't be producing them.

I guess somebody at Hasbro caught on and closed the loophole... bummer.

[Rob]

Are you saying the factory was just taking orders directly from EE?

[Jeff]

Are you saying the factory was just taking orders directly from EE?

No, nothing like that. I just meant loophole that EE had an exclusive figure that was basically the same as a mainline release that cost $2 more.

Someone at Hasbro probably asked why they were doing a second manufacturing run of $15 VC231 for EE at the same time they were doing a first manufacturing run of $17 VC231?
