The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC Blue Leader's X-Wing with General Merrick

It's times like these I feel sorry for carded collectors who are completionists.  Gonna have to get two of these.  It's probably worse with the Razor Crest.

So, I mentioned above that I wish this release would come with an un-carded Merrick and a carded Merrick to solve the problem. I would be happy to pay $120 for that... maybe more? What would the rest of you pay?

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.


Until they mentioned it's a Target Exclusive.

I'm generally excited about this. I do wish they would give one carded figure and one un-carded figure in this scenario.

I'm not sure if I need it, but I do wonder if Hasbro will do a partisan X-wing with Two tubes this year.

I don't know that I am too worried about Target. Recent Transformers Target exclusives have been pretty reasonable to get. The Smugglers BMF had issues, but I assume the cost of that lead to less volume in the system. My fingers are crossed that there will be a reasonable amount of Blue One to go around.

I was just looking at the Tantive IV in the Incredible Cross-sections book...

that's going to be a hell of a lot of hallways!

What is your call on the scale of the ship in that book vs. the scale in TROS? I would say It is a the cross sections book has it as twice as big.

I can appreciate the value of getting the Royal Guard back out on the market.  As for the others?  Trash!  Make smarter repack choices, Hasbro.

I realize there is value in rereleasing more TVC ERGs.

Just curious...how many of you had decent access to the 3.75" TBS ERG? I grabbed many of these at the original price, many more marked down at Walmart and quite a few for $3 each at Burlington. I might even have 14-20 all together. I guess what I am saying is I have no need for new ERGS to open, but I wouldn't mind one on a TVC card as I never picked up the original.

Are they really going to do remakes of all the originals?

Original TVC or original vintage?

So, I'm unclear... is this pack ever supposed to ship to Walmart stores? If it is coming to stores it is so far untrackable on brickseek.

Late to the party and haven't commented much, but holy cow, this whole season. And that finale! I didn't believe they'd actually have the guts to get Luke out there, and still didn't believe until I saw the lightsaber handle followed by the hood removal. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two of joy/excitement. THAT is the Luke we all wanted in the Sequel Trilogy, just wrecking shop for a few minutes and doing all sorts of cool Force stuff.

For some reason all of my friends seem to think Gideon killed Bo Katan, but I thought she was clearly shown at the end? If anything, I'd guess that the Sasha Banks Mandalorian was killed.

I'm really intrigued to see where they go for Season 3. There's no way Disney gives up on Grogu just yet. So I'm wondering if we get a time lapse, or build through the season to some sort of reunion.

Those mooks, Gideon shot at Sasha Banks' character, but even she survived.

I'm feeling pretty good about this series!  It looks like the Falcon will come into play, so we could be looking at some of Lando's adventures prior to the events of SOLO.  If that's the case I'm hoping that Phoebe Waller-Bridge will reprise her role as L3-37, because she was pretty good in that role.

There seems to be some potential for interaction with Crimson Dawn based on some things that Lando said to Qi'ra.  And that mention of Lando owing Aurra Sing?  I'd like to see that character pay off in live action, too.

Wow, good call I would love more L3. They were a great Duo.

Yowza. For so many reasons.
I'll add a yikes to that. And crap as well.

Before today I thought there might be a reason for Hera and the Ghost to show up. Now there is even more reason.

I'm starting to wonder if Hasbro launched this before the ship is reduced to landing gear by the end of the season. That thing is taking a beating. After episodes 9&10 I need replacement junk panels.

Interesting to see the evolution of HasLab projects and in general how each new one is making more money than the previous one.  The only exceptions are the failed Cookie Monster, and the successful (only at a lower volume) HeroQuest.

I wonder how much of this is fine tuning the commercialization of these and finding the right price point.  Both the Sentinel and Razor Crest were priced at $350, less than the Barge and Unicron, but ultimately sold a lot more $ volume.

I wonder if $350 is the new magic number for these projects.

I'd love to see what they could do with a Death Star for $350.

My hope is for a modular and customizable death star that could be configured in any dimension. If they do It right it could accommodate any display space and be combined with multiple sets for a bigger display.

I would like a design with a small hangar that can accommodate a TIE interceptor, but can be expanded with either multiple sets and or extra wall/floor pieces through unlock tiers. Some people will want to display an imperial shuttle or the falcon, but that much space would restrictive for many people.

They really struggle with Pedro's face. The TBS looks like Noel Fielding and this one kind of looks like Nathan Fillion.

Hasbro pulse is now sold out on this. That seems significant. Hopefully it sends a loud message to hasbro about how much we like playsets with an amazing design.
