Staring up a thread for this one...

STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION SABINE WREN & CHOPPER (C1-10P)
(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99 / Available: Fall 2024)
To commemorate her friends’ heroic efforts in liberating Lothal, Sabine Wren painted a colorful mural in the Capital City – a testament to the Ghost crew’s lasting friendship. Astromech droid Chopper is a resident droid of the Ghost, assisting the crew in everything from ship maintenance to combat. Fans can celebrate the legacy of STAR WARS, the action-and-adventure-packed space saga from a galaxy far, far away and build out their Spectre Crew with this premium 3.75-inch scale STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION SABINE WREN & CHOPPER (C1-10P) figure pack inspired by the characters’ appearance in STAR WARS: REBELS. These figures feature premium detail, entertainment-inspired collector grade deco and design across product and packaging inspired by the original Kenner line, as well as character art inspired by Sabine’s mural in the series finale. Includes 2 figures and 9 entertainment-inspired accessories including an interchangeable helmet head, jetpack, energy shield, 2 blasters and a jetpack flame accessory for Sabine, as well as a removable radar dish and 2 Loth-cats for Chopper.
Available for pre-order 1/24 at 1pm ET exclusively at Hasbro Pulse. Pre-orders close 2/14 at 11:59pm ET.

Just ordered a couple… One to open one to keep MIB. A necessary addition for the Ghost crew!

And also Sabine/Chopper.
I was impressed that they snuck a few more lothcats in there since the mural has more than just Ezra's white one. Now they just have to find a way to put out the wolves from the mural. :D
The inclusion of the Lothcats was nice, and I appreciated that. But when I saw that and the other accessories with Sabine? I saw how this 2-pack is almost certainly going to cost more than the previous 2-packs. I'm predicting $49.99 for that.
$49.99 was pretty spot on...
Price hurts on this one for sure. They're effectively calling both of these "Deluxe" figures. That being said, holy **** that Sabine is awesome. I love that they listened to feedback and fixed the removable helmet / swappable head. The paint app on her is perfect. Even though Chopper and the Lothcats are repaints, I'll still be glad to have them. I grabbed three sets for now (one to open, one to keep carded, and an extra for later).
-
I also preordered two of them, and yeah, the price sucks pretty hard, but that Sabine is magnifique.

I feel like every Haslab backer should've received one set for free. It would've been a nice bone to throw at the collectors. Especially since the last two Haslabs for Star Wars tanked.

A nice bone... but a really expensive one - 21,768 Ghosts x $50 per set = $1,088,400 in potential lost revenue
I agree with you guys that $50 is a bitter pill to swallow but I still held my nose and pre-ordered one. It sucks, but I can't imagine setting up my Ghost with Rebels Season 3/4 figures for Hera, Ezra, Kanan, Zeb, and Chopper and no Sabine so $50 it is.
-
Jeff, the backers made Hasbro over $10,000,000 richer plus the interest. The cost to Hasbro for the Sabine/Chopper two pack is not $50, but much less. Even if it cost them $1,000,000 from their $10,000,000 it would pay off in a lot of good will.
-
I get where you’re coming from Matt. I just can’t see Hasbro just giving away over $1 million in gifts to backers. They do have a fiduciary responsibility to their investors, and senior management would never sign off on that.
-
Agree Nick. I really didn't expect Hasbro to do it either. It would've been nice though since these figures should've been part of the Haslab project.
-
im in the hate the price, but ordered it anyway bunch too. Not gonna open it but they will look great displayed with the rest. Gonna use my animated figures to populate the Ghost when it arrives.
-
They're taking preorders for this again if anyone missed it...
-
The preorder window should be open until 2/14
-
It woulda been nice to have those that backed The Ghost to be able to buy these for $40 through Pulse or something more reasonable while the non-backer price would be $50. Either way, that price is rough, and I pre-ordered one.
-
Pre-orders close 2/14 at 11:59pm ET.
Reminder that today is "pre-order or get off the pot" day for this set... Hasbro says there may be very limited availability once the set arrives this fall, but today is the last day to lock in a pre-order if you haven't already.

Got mine in sometime ago during the initial preorder run - and I checked Hasbro Pulse to ensure that order was placed! I’ve ordered two: one to keep boxed, the other to open.
