Yakface with the scoop.

Once again, due to our policy of playing nice with Hasbro PR, I can't post any pictures here... but feel free to jump on over to Yak and check it out while you can.

I'm happy to see a sequel trilogy TVC vehicle. Makes me feel like maybe it'd be worth jumping into that trilogy as a collection. The lack of vehicles has been the biggest reason for keeping me from collecting from the sequels. I really like the movies, I just don't want to jump in unless the line is going to continue. This gives me some hope about that.

I assume this is this just a repainted version of an X-Wing we bought five years ago for $50?

I hope not.  For that price point I expect it to be greatly improved!
This is the way.

Looks all new to me.  I can't imagine Hasbro charging $100 for a re-hashed X-Wing. 

All that said, I bet we get to buy Episode VII and VIII versions of his X-Wing using this mold down the line...

From what I've read this is bigger than the other Poe X-Wings. And has more detail. Droid socket? Etc. But $100 is too much. Especially with a $100 Luke X-Wing on the shelf too. I'm finally bowing out on having to have everything in Vintage Collection packaging.

What an amazing looking toy. Looks to be all new, and to scale with 3.75 inch figures, or at least as to-scale as the mid-00s X-Wings and TIE Fighters were.

If I weren't trying to sell off my 3.75 inch stuff, I'd buy one.

Very cool 8)

Really nice to see a completely new ship from TVC, particularly one from the new films.  This will definitely be on my want list...  Is this supposed to come out on “Triple Force Friday”?

Not a sequel trilogy guy really, but it's good they are making this now.  Who knows how anyone will feel about the sequels a year 5 months from now?  This might be our only chance.  Of course, they probably should've made one 2 years ago and been releasing a repaint right now.

I'll get one when it hits Ross.  >:D

Ha, there's no Ross here.  :P

That’s pretty cool. I would have liked a bonus TVC carded BB-8 to go with it but oh well.

All initial waves end up at Ross and Kohls. No one is going to buy up these. They will set for a year and be closed out.

Not at the moment, I'm still trying to organize and inventory everything. If you're looking for anything in particular, PM me and I'll let you know what I have!

Love that idea. Vehicles are tough for me. I love getting them, and always go after the OT ones, but I find I have trouble finding display space for the rest. I've tried to stick to things released in the Vintage Collection line. All that said, I kind of like the looks of this so far, and kind of want to pick it up. Not sure if I like it $100 worth, but we'll see.

It will be different to see where vehicles go once the "saga", at least the Skywalker side of it, wraps up. I mean, have we seen our last release of things like the Falcon in 3 3/4" scale - at least for awhile? Will we just see 1-2 vehicles per year as 6" becomes the primary focus? Or will this new 5" line going to see all the vehicles going forward?
