not sure if the droid is carded

It is.

Clearance vultures REALLY hurt the vehicle segment of Hasbro's Star Wars line.  Any time an exclusive vehicle got announced there would be a chorus of people saying "I'll buy it on clearance".  And they wonder why Target won't offer exclusive vehicles anymore?  It seems like Hasbro is forcing an uncomfortable conversation with some of these people.

And bravo to Hasbro for doing so.  Why should a group of people ruin it for the rest of us?  The clearance vultures are a vocal group and now we are starting to hear them say the same things about figures in both scales: "Hey! If I can get these at Ross or Ollies down the road for 70+% off, I might as well wait."  That's not going to help us get new figures in the line, nor is it going to instill confidence in the product if the retailers can't sell it in their stores.

It's funny, some people at the SW The Vintage Collection FB group were commenting about buying the E-Wing on clearance.

The group should actually encourage these people to wait for the E-wing to hit clearance and then laugh at them when they realized they've shot themselves in the foot.

I don't understand why they could not announce this in the livestream.

IMO, It's nice to have some surprises.

What are your 20 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection from The Eras Tour: Animation?

The rules are simple: post your wishlist for the 20 3-3/4" figures or send them to me.  At the end of the month, I’ll tally up the votes and we’ll move on to the next theme.

The Vintage Collection / Re: 2024 TVC Wave 2 (New TVC Wave 34)
« on: January 25, 2024, 10:25 AM »
I mean, Hasbro's got to know we aren't dumb enough not to notice this, right?  But then again, this is Hasbro knowing people will buy it because of the new helmet and double-dipping, etc.

25
Yeah, but I'm 100% here for COBB ******' VANTH to finally get some love in TVC.  About ******* time.

Yeah, that was the highlight for me.  And also Sabine/Chopper. 

26
I was rather disappointed in the reveals today. Mostly redos, repaints, resculpts and Mandalorians.  *yawn*

27
But look who else’s name WASN’T there…👀😁

Yeah, but there's been times when Patrick wasn't involved in earlier ones, either.  We'll see.

I hope Emily wasn't let go...she's like the one person who seems to "get" TVC over there.

I saw her respond to the news on IG. She congratulated Steve and said that she was looking forward to working with him.  So I think that’s a positive sign.

That is definitely good news there.

I guess I should add that I believe that Steve is heading both Star Wars and Marvel (still).

I think he’s going to be the design & development lead for both brands.  I don’t know if that equates to being the brand manager, but it’s definitely a senior role.

Thank you.  I guess I should have said "I believe that Steve is working on both Star Wars and Marvel" not heading.
