I have decided for better or worse to go carded on these, which I have never done.  I don't know.  Some of my friends are only doing figures never on vintage cards before (Dak, etc.) which I kind of like.

That's what I'd like, ones that were never on Vintage cards before.

If hasbro used vintage style cardbacks on every figure made, i would have bought allot more.  Especially one that were never vintage before.

The Vintage Collection / The Street Date Debate
« on: July 8, 2010, 07:19 PM »
JTA has an interesting report from a run-in with a Hasbro rep and discussion about the broken street date.

Hasbro's being dumb.

Thanks for the info.
Makes me feel like I will find the ones I want at some point.
 A buddy got mewanting the Cloud Car now after describing it!

The Vintage Collection / The Street Date Debate
« on: July 8, 2010, 12:39 PM »
I stopped in to one more of the TRUs where I was denied new product last week to see if I could find out any information regarding the e-mail/memo sent around. There is a dept. manager at this store who is VERY helpful to the collectors so I knew he would give me the straight scoop.

Here's what I found out...

This store received an e-mail on Friday. In the e-mail they were told that TRU was permitted to sell the new Star Wars products as they arrived in-store and they could ignore the street date notifications that were printed on the box.

On Monday, the regional Hasbro rep who comes to all of the stores came by this TRU and told the employees that they had to pack up all of the new SW product and get it back into the stockroom. They proceeded to show the Hasbro rep the e-mail, the Hasbro rep then made some calls and verified that Toys R Us could indeed sell the new Star Wars products.

So if you can get the employees to listen to you, I would definitely see if you could get them to find that memo/e-mail.

I'm gonna bring it up at the TRU near where I work when they open tomorrow morning.

I have not had any luck.
I think some went out at the one store but they have not filled them since.
The other store put them out twice but I missed them and each time I was there i asked if they had any in stock and was told no.

Got the MC from UPS today. Now to start the waiting until next week when our minnesota squad splits it up...

I'm curious as to how many full Jabbas you end up with.
Good luck!

3 vaders and a dengar, didn't want any of those.
The kid working was nice enough to check if they had more, but there was nothing in back.
The ones I want most are Daak and hn and 3 others just to get the fett.
Hope they show up here at some point.

Just received my 1 box from HLJ, and got a red Bib Fortuna!  ;D

break down:

C3PO            C3PO    C3PO

Chewie         Luke     Luke

Amanaman    Bib*     Chewie

R2                R2       R2

What Jabba stuff did you end up with as extras?

I think this is right based on the case breakdown:
You will be 2 parts short of a 2nd Jabba with each case of 12.  You need to get an extra Bib and Amanaman to complete the 2nd Jabba.  You will be 4 parts short of a 3rd Jabba with each case of 12.  You will need to get another 4 figs (not C3P0 or R2).

Kubrick insanity.

So how many jabbas to a Master Case?
This would let us figure out a fair price...I think...

Box of 12:


Back of boxes, shows the exact part breakdown:


I'm still lost...
How many Jabbas are in a boix of 12
1?
If there are 2 then paying over $100 for him and the set is silly...if not then I can see the price going up.

Get this, my niece works at Target.
I told her to pick a few of these up if she came across them,
She saw them on display, picked 2 randomly and one of them was Boushh, the only one I didn't have out of the set.
Crazy.

Not sure where to get these:

Also coming in March from Ensky is a nifty set of R2 magnets, previously offered at last year's Celebration Japan with the exception of R2-Q5 -- that's the black one -- which has been added to the set for this new offering.
