Post by: Jeff on July 2, 2019, 04:09 PM
Case of 8 and Set of 4 up for pre-order at site sponsor EE (https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s/?query1=vintage%20collection&company=&theme=&producttype=&celebrity=&character=&landingpageid=0&landingpageurl=&lppreviewid=0&podcast=0&salesid=0&promotionid=0&selectedfacets=__Product+Type=Action+Figures__Company=Hasbro&itemsperpage=60&page=1&filter=All&sort=newly-added&productview=&advancedsearch=False&hideshop=True&alertid=&id=HA-807301583)

This wave appears to include... 
  2019 VC140 Imperial Stormtrooper
  2019 VC141 Chewbacca {repack}
  2019 VC149 R2-D2 {repack}
  2019 VC09 Boba Fett {repack w/new cardback}

Nothing new.  Just carry-forwards from Waves 6/7 and a new repack.

Can anyone verify whether the actual Fett figure is different in any way? Thanks

I was curious about this, too.  This version of Boba Fett has the removable helmet.  So no doubt this release will have the improved facial deco, the same as the recent Darth Vader re-release.

I have a case coming from EE, I ordered it for the deco & carback variation on Fett and I was hoping that in this case there would be a running change with R2-D2 where he would come in pristine/clean condition to match the cardback. I've seen no evidence that such a variant exists, so that's going to end up being purely wishful thinking on my part.  :-[

I am thinking about converting one of the Chewbacca figures to be a SA version of Chewie from the Solo movie as a companion to the TVC Young Solo that was released.

Short lived case assortment? Only got a change to order Boba Fett once and it came damaged. Haven't been able to snag another since.
