Okay, so back in June, they "had no plans" for POTF-style cardbacks in the retro-vintage line. I get it. But three months have passed, and the cat is out of the bag, as far as next year's coin pack-ins go. So wouldn't that be a perfect time to do a run of POTF-style cards? I mean, they're already manufacturing the coins anyway, and clearly there's interest in POTF-style cards, and it would be a great opportunity to get a little extra mileage out of the retro-vintage line. . .
So what do you guys think? POTF-style vintage cards next year, or no?
I would definitely say that it's a possibility. First, Hasbro has been asked some VERY direct questions about specific products in the Q&A sessions, and in some cases they've offered flat denials. Fast forward to Comic Con and some of those self-same products were confirmed by Hasbro either in the display cases at their booth, or in the presentation they held. The Q&A's certainly aren't gospel, and Hasbro has played some things very close to their vests.
Another things that makes me think that they may make a POTF vintage figure is this: The recent Hasbro piece about that the collectible coin album stated that the album has some extra slots that are set aside for duplicates and potential promotional coins. The POTF coin might fit in with the whole promotional coin concept that they've been discussing.
