Collectibles => The Vintage Collection => Topic started by: Nicklab on February 27, 2018, 08:22 AM

In light of Hasbro Pulse initiating "The Vintage Conversation" (https://www.instagram.com/p/BfqubvGBPbG/), it seems like a Vintage Collection wishlist might be in order. Especially since Hasbro seems to be actively soliciting ideas.
-
Scott, where are you?
-
It does seem like some wishlist threads would make for some interesting fare. Especially with the state of The Vintage Collection, and where the line is going. Hasbro reads forums - we should give them something to read!

Yes. This is one of the things I miss here. Scott used to do this every year back in the day, but I suppose it was frustrating to hold them annually when very little was being made and you'd get pretty much the same results. Perhaps life got busy for him, too? I've been doing these on Yakface, but that's on hiatus with the forums currently down. Maybe if Scott is too busy to resurrect them, someone else could pick up the mantle?
-
It's always fun to take part in the whole wishlist process. And right now it seems like there are a few hot spots in TVC - the OT, Clone Wars, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. It gives me a little bit of optimism.

Agreed. It's always interesting to see what people want that might be different from one's own list. I went through the threads and it's been 10 years since we've done a wishlist! Yeah, we've had 3 ST movies, 2 Anthology movies, various shows/cartoons since that time. You could take a whole year (or more) just to do wishlists now if you did each movie/show/EU plus the Top 25 of all of them. Wow! And Disney keeps coming out with more media.
Nick, perhaps we need to start a new thread and see if there's interest by others to revive the top tens like they did Palpatine?

I'm going to go ahead and spin these posts into the thread from the last time you two tried to re-start the wishlists in 2018. ;)
But yeah, it's been ten years (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=22581.0). I know SA was on life-support in 2013-2015 and basically dead 2016-2018, but it's really amazing to see how few characters got knocked off those 2012 Wishlists. When the Hasbro team was run by folks who cared about fansites, our wishlists were one of the tools DDP's team used to help with parking lot ideas. The current team is much, MUCH more interested in influencers on Insta than loyal fansites and we get very little attention these days. :(
It might be best to change the format for a bit since there are so many more movies/sources now. If Scott isn't interesteed in re-launching the wishlists, maybe we can get a more modern version going just to generate some discussion...
-
Yeah, I'm all for it. Hopefully Scott is, too... or at least we can get a new version of wishlists going.
It's interesting that you mentioned Hasbro's new team is more focused on "influencers" now than the OG forums whose users I would assume have more experience with the "brand." Perhaps we will just have to call the wishlists "Top Ten Expressions" or something to get Hasbro's attention.
-
Thanks, Jeff. It would be great if Scott wanted to lead the way on this. And I agree, a slightly updated format would be interesting.

Someone could just edit all the winners insto a stupid Insta story, or a Tik Tok with fun sounds. That might get Hasbro to listen.
-
Perhaps. Collecting in social media is growing by leaps and bounds, and Hasbro is paying attention there.
As far as categories, if this proceeds forward? Doing every single movie, tv show or print title seems like it could get a bit drawn out. I'm thinking about doing Top 20 lists in the following categories:
-PREQUEL TRILOGY
-ORIGINAL TRILOGY
-SEQUEL TRILOGY
-ANTHOLOGY MOVIES (Solo & Rogue One)
-LIVE ACTION TELEVISION (The Mandalorian & The Book of Boba Fett so far)
-ANIMATION (Wide open - Droids, Ewoks, Tartakovsky Clone Wars, 3D Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, Visions, etc)
-EXPANDED UNIVERSE (Print, comics, gaming)
I think we could get far better curated responses by narrowing the fields by trilogy, anthology, animation, etc.
-
That's probably the way to go, Nick. Live action TV is expanding with Kenobi and Ahsoka as well, not to mention further seasons of the current live action stuff.
Now, I also forgot in that 10-year period, we also have 6". Do we run 2 concurrently or solely focus on TVC? I don't want to alienate the 6" fans, though I know most of us are 3.75" collectors. Thoughts?

6" fans can eat it. Let's stick with 3.75" TVC.

I would say yes to running concurrent TVC and TBS polls. Both lines have places where they might have some holes, or could benefit from some fresh ideas.

I like this breakdown and these groupings too.

While I am inclined to agree with Dave, I guess it would be best to run then at the same time in the appropriate forum section. Fair warning, my 6" wish-lists will pretty much exclusively be Han Solo figures... :P

Agreed on having TBS polls in the TBS section.
And I would be disappointed if your Black Series wishlists WEREN'T like that, LOL!
-
Re: the "Animation" category do we need to specify the figure style? In other words, do we want them to be realistic style figures to match the rest of TVC - or do we want animated style figures matching the old Clone Wars / Rebels / resistance lines?
Might be worth breaking that into two categories.
-
Re: the "Animation" category do we need to specify the figure style?
In the past, when we've done the animation poll we just asked people to label the style (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=22359.0) when voting.
I think that is still the way to go. If you want realistic, you put (Realistic) and if you want Animated, you put the Animated style (Animated - Tartakovsky; Animated - Ewoks; Animated - Rebels, etc).
-
That’s definitely a good question. I think it might be best to look at how Hasbro has done things for the past few years. Notably the Tartakovsky Clone Wars exclusives that are finally being released, the Droids exclusives, and the Credit Collection in The Black Series. All of those offer mostly realistic sculpting, but animated style deco. And the last time we got a 3.75” figure that had an animation style sculpt was probably in 2017. I would certainly factor in that with characters from animation.
EDIT - I forgot about the RESISTANCE line from 2019 or so. But I think so did a lot of collectors. And Hasbro might want to forget it, too.

My Five Below remembers them. It remembers them a lot.
-
If anyone follows Star Wars The Vintage Collection on Facebook or Instagram, they are currently running a March Madness tournament. Man, some of the match-ups are killer.
-
There are definitely some interesting choices in that poll. And it was part of the inspiration behind me wanting to poll the users here. Because I think we might get somewhat different results from what's bearing out in that IG poll.

Oh, yeah. There are definitely ones that I chose that are sorely getting beat out. But with the difficult choices, I tried to choose the figure as if it was the last figure Hasbro were to make.
-
I know this hasn't been brought up in almost half a year, but should we start one (using Nick's list) in September? Not sure if Scott wants to run it or if he's okay passing it along (I'm okay tallying votes, etc.). What say you, Jeff?
-
I'd definitely like to see where things stand among this crowd. What do people want? What are the big priorities?
-

For me it's mostly major OT needs and OT-era Canon/EU figures, with some Filoni CW/Bad Batch mixed in.
-
My top areas:
1 - Rogue One
2 - Sequel Trilogy
3 - Solo
-
This can be the way we go with the lists. And I believe Nick suggested having a Top 20...
-PREQUEL TRILOGY
-ORIGINAL TRILOGY
-SEQUEL TRILOGY
-ANTHOLOGY MOVIES (Solo & Rogue One)
-LIVE ACTION TELEVISION (The Mandalorian & The Book of Boba Fett so far)
-ANIMATION (Wide open - Droids, Ewoks, Tartakovsky Clone Wars, 3D Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, Visions, etc)
-EXPANDED UNIVERSE (Print, comics, gaming)
Would we want to do a final all-around wishlist at the end?
-
I think we might want to consider adding a couple of additional categories. Perhaps limit these to 10 choices.
-TROOP BUILDER 4-PACKS
-PLAYSET WITH FIGURE
Those both seem to be "expressions" that Hasbro is actively offering, so I think it would be worthwhile to express what this community wants.
The one condition with the troop builder 4 packs seems to be that Hasbro is only offering them after a sculpt has appeared in The Vintage Collection. After that it appears to be fair game. Whether or not we should impose that same condition seems like it should be open to discussion.

I like that idea....

I concur.
We could add vehicles as well, though Hasbro doesn't seem too inclined to do them unless they are Haslabs.

You could add vehicles, beasts, and playsets all together, probably with some stipulation that they need to be $100 or less
-
I’m all for doing Top Ten lists for both vehicles and creatures as well. But keep them distinct. There’s certainly enough to choose from for both.
-
Small vehicle/creature is a big must. Speeder bikes. Blurrg. Yes, please
-
Steve, is this still the plan?
Pick your top 20 figures from:
-PREQUEL TRILOGY
-ORIGINAL TRILOGY
-SEQUEL TRILOGY
-ANTHOLOGY MOVIES (Solo & Rogue One)
-LIVE ACTION TELEVISION (The Mandalorian & The Book of Boba Fett so far)
-ANIMATION (Wide open - Droids, Ewoks, Tartakovsky Clone Wars, 3D Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, Visions, etc)
-EXPANDED UNIVERSE (Print, comics, gaming)
Pick your top 10 most wanted:
- Troop Builder 4-Pack
- Creatures/Beasts
- Vehicles
- Playsets
It might be kind of fun to try to come up with one more so that pretty much every month there will be some sort of 'fan choice/most wanted' poll running in the forums...
-
Yes, what you have listed above is the plan. As for the final slot, perhaps a Tournament of Champions like Scott used to do?
-
Since we are starting the Tournament of Champions, I'm sure there are some that we might consider crossing off the list since they've been announced and move others up, especially with the announcement of The Ghost and most of the Rebels crew, though many are still locked behind tiers.

The ones I see that could be removed are:
Count Dooku
8D8 (though the one we're getting is from Jedi)
Ezra Bridger (Rebels)
Garazeb "Zeb" Orellios (Rebels)
Hera Syndulla (Rebels)
Kanan Jarrus (Rebels)
If you agree, I can switch them out before the ToC. Also, should the ToC be Top 50?
-
Three on the list are definitely confirmed. 8D8; Hera was confirmed once the Ghost got backed; Count Dooku was one of the pipeline reveals.
I would refrain from removing Ezra, Kanan and Zeb from the running. At least until the Ghost campaign reaches the required number of backers for each tier unlock.
-
I'd agree with Nick - remove 8D8, Dooku, Hera. I think you can also remove Revan from the EU wishlist (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=25523.msg632422#msg632422). Don't count the chickens before they hatch on Ezra, Kanan, Zeb (in case the tiers don't fund for some lame reason).
If we have top 20 from 7 categories (OT, PT, ST, R1/Solo, TV, Cartoon, EU), then that's 140 choices from which to pick. I'd think I'd like to make it tough, so I'd say pick your top 20-25 from those 140. Just my vote.
-
Yeah, I'd go with those 3 removed and 25 choices.
I'll get those lists updated tomorrow.
And thanks for the reminder on EU. I was just thinking I missed one of the catagories before I sat down.
-
Also see The Grand Inquisitor as well that needs to be removed.
And isn't the Tusken Chieftain coming in the 4-pack?
-

And don't forget to remove Revan from the EU list too...

Apparently, I have too many lists. ;)
-
This was harder to choose 25 than I thought. So many of these figures should have been done already (looking at all the main characters from the Sequel trilogies/Disney shows) and it came down to "need to happen" and "want to happen". Can't assume that Hasbro is going to be making some of these figures anytime soon (or at all).
-
This was harder to choose 25 than I thought.
I know - I keep looking at the list, trying to pick and then leaving it for another day. I'm getting closer though - my list is down to 37.

I was in the same boat. I kept going back and forth about who I wanted on the list and who to leave off. Finally, I just put a list I would be happy with and left it at that.
-
Got a few more days to get those lists for the Tournament of Champions in!
-
Looks like ANH Princess Leia, Chopper, and Rex have been pipelined, so if you have them on your list, feel free to adjust them.
Also, now that Ezra's unlocked, so he also be removed from the list?
-
These are the new entries for the ToC:
The Original Trilogy
Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony)
Expanded Universe
Sha'a Gi (Clone Wars)
Umbaran Soldier (The Clone Wars)
Tig Fromm (Droids)
-
So are we starting up a "Defender Wishlists 2023: The Original Trilogy" in September to keep things rolling each month or are we taking some time off before we go again?

I am up for whatever people want. In the past year, we've gotten 10 out of 140 figures. Would definitely love to get more participation so that we can get a top 20 without having to use a randomizer to fill out the last few spots.
-
I am up for whatever people want.
I vote we start anew for 2023-24!
Crazy Idea - what if we changed up the categories and did our own "Eras Tour" (https://www.starwars.com/eras#era2) #TaylorSwift
Top 20 - Fall of the Jedi (TPM, AOTC, ROTS)
Top 20 - Reign of the Empire (Solo, OWK, Andor, Rogue One)
Top 20 - Age of Rebellion (ANH, ESB, ROTJ)
Top 20 - The New Republic (TM, BOBF, Ahsoka)
Top 20 - Rise of the First Order (TFA, TLJ, TROS)
Top 20 - Animation (Droids, Ewoks, Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, etc)
Top 20 - EU (Everything else - books, comics, video games, Kenner, etc)
And then the rest -
Top 10 - Troop 4-Pack
Top 10 - Beasts/Big Aliens
Top 10 - Vehicles
Top 10 - Playsets
Top 25 - Tournament of Champions
Just trying to think up a way to break up the D+ category - having 3 season of TM plus BOBF, Andor, OWK, and Ahsoka all in one category is too hard to limit to 20! Of course, shifting OWK and Andor into a group with Solo/Rogue one makes those choices harder too.
Totally open to just doing the same thing as last year too if that is what everyone wants. Just trying to maybe change it up a bit to add some freshness and not just cut-and-paste last year's lists.
-
Actually, I like that idea, especially since I felt the Anthology category drew from two sources where Live Action had too many sources to pull from.
-
I think it’s an interesting idea, too.
Can we include a link to the previous year’s poll in each new poll?
-

Enlighten me on how to do the "nice, clean" link instead of copying and pasting the full link.
-
Thanks for hooking me up, Jeff. Appreciate it!
I'll just study your link and make the necessary changes for the subsequent rounds.
-
Posted the Reign of the Empire wishlist. I'll close the Fall of the Jedi wishlist on the 10th since I didn't start it at the top of the month.

Top 20 - Animation (Droids, Ewoks, Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, etc)
Top 20 - EU (Everything else - books, comics, video games, Kenner, etc)
On one hand, I kind of want to do a "Top 10 - The High Republic Era (Acolyte) wishlist" to vote for stuff like TVC Torbin, Kelnacca, Indara, Bazil, Qimir, etc.
On the other hand though, I'm not sure if it would matter in the long run - is anyone going to put anything from The Acolyte into their Top 25 list? #hmm ???

Narrator’s Voice: “They would not.” 😄

I think the Stranger would be close to making it into a Top 25... but I suppose it depends on what else is available.
-
I kind of want to get Kelnacca in there just because I like the idea of a Wookiee Jedi action figure, but there is so much I want from ANH, ROTJ, Rogue One and more I guess Kelnacca can wait until a 2025 wishlist. ;)

It looks like we've arrived at the Tournament of Champions. Seeing as we don't have a High Republic era, do we want to add this for August? Maybe limit it to the top 5 choices or 10 instead of 20?

Not much input on these polls I guess. We know there is stuff in the pipeline (Indara, Yord, etc) so let's just mix the High Republic stuff into next year somewhere.
I vote we go ahead and kick off the tourney of champions in August and then let that run until Hasbro Pulse Con in September (9/13).
Aug 14 to Sep 13 = Tournament of Champions
Sep 13 = Hasbro Pulse Con pipeline/reveals (give them time to pipeline more stuff to support the Cantina before we jump into another round of wish lists)
Then after that we kick off a new round in October? Or do we re-start a new round in January?
-
I'd be mixed on a High Republic poll... mostly because I know none of those figures would crack my top 100 list from figures of all eras, except for maybe The Stranger.
Maybe wait until January for the next round, to get a few new pipeline reveals in the mix first?
-
I don't know that I could generate a decent list for High Republic era characters outside of Vernestra Rwoh and Kelnacca. I think this is where the whole "Eras" concept could run into some challenges in light of The Acolyte being the only show to represent that timeframe, and the rest being print. Unless it's an Old Republic / High Republic poll.

Sorry. I've been out of town for the past few days so haven't had chance to reply.
Seems like we'll do the ToC from now to PulseCon... a few days short of a month probably wouldn't hurt since there's about 4 or 5 participants here. Let me get the lists organized and post.

I just realized that I'm going to be mid-safari on Sept 13th, so I won't be able to tally results until after I get back.
And I'm sure there will be some cool exclusive drops that I'll likely miss out on, too.

Meh, that just gives stragglers extra time to vote. :P Enjoy your safari and don't worry about it.

And hopefully there will be some reveals that people can change votes as well.
