2006 Vintage Saga Collection (vTSC)

11.99. The first Target I tried wouldn't bring them out because they're mark with a hold date of 4/29. Looks like they plan to take the May exclusives thing seriously.

Hey Paul, were your clamshell cases heat-sealed? I'm trying to open Han and the tabs are sealed at 7 points. There's no way I can see getting this open without trashing the plastic case.

Wait these are a Target exlcusive?

[SilverZ]

Oops, sorry, I guess that was poorly worded. I was just lumping all of the UGH stuff together, and figured they'd be shooting for a weekend to do an endcap with the vTSC along with their exclusive Grievous figure and Skirmish Battle Pack.

I hope they wait until May to release them. I have no cashage for them right now.

Me too. Too much damned stuff coming. These and Grievous... God knows when the Tatooine wave will show. And the Lucas Family set...

[Ryan]

It'll be nice when the "Greatest Hits wave" hits, so I finally get a break. Don't get me wrong I love the stuff but I think 1 wave a month would be plenty in a non-movie year.

The ones I got from Red5Sixx had 4 pieces of tape on each one (one on each side and 2 on top).  The Tusken that I got on ebay from the "Kansas Wal-Mart" had the same.

Heat seal is awsome! I was worried aout people ripping the POP's off. As for the hold date, that's interesting. I wonder if it's on the box.

Heat Seal?

Well then, there goes my idea of trying to sneak the tabs out of my carded set to send away for a 2nd Lucastrooper.   

I guess it's a good move if it's going to reduce theft/swaps though...

[Mitsukara]

I wonder if maybe the Target in the city I'm going to is more lax and either accidentally stuck them out, or would get one out if I asked

Doubt it, but I'll be trying. I need that Endor Han!

But if they don't come out until May, I guess I can probably still get them then. Just need to make sure I can go out of town if our Wal Mart is too lame to ever bother stocking them...

[ruiner]

Holy ****, $11.99 is ridiculous.

These prices have gotten out of hand.

[SilverZ]

So I guess that heat seal thing is a running change. Interesting.

Blows my plan too. There's no way of getting in there. I figured the exact same, and I'd just sneak in there, pull the pack out, and close it up again. Not happening though.

I put up the carded (with clamshell) images into the image database, and you can see the seal points around the outside of the shell.

Man, I can't wait for you to get the Image Database updated with all of these...

Be sure to get a nice picture of Endor Han with vOTC Chewie in there for me.   

[SilverZ]

Comin' up soon. 

I was a little surprised to see that Endor Han is not 100% new. His legs use VTOC Han's legs/feet, holster, and head. The (c) 2004 is still on the bottom of the left foot. Not that it's bad, but a surprise none the less.

[Diddly]

Oh my, how Han kicks ass. I can't wait to get my hands on these figures.

Jared, how hard is it to get the vest off of Han?

[SilverZ]

I tried to take it off for a pic but chickened out.  Maybe Paul has a good strategy.
