The Vintage Collection / Re: 2021 Pulse Con TVC Emperor's Throne Room Box Set

Maybe I'm the dumb one for not thinking this would work like last year but I don't like these being listed with 2022 release dates and then all shipping 3 days later. I wasn't expecting a $180 hit today.

Releasing retro collection figures of characters like the Re-armored Boba Fett before a TVC version is a reminder of the old Hasbro double dip.  For years they would string collectors along by making figures of a character that were kind of inferior.  Over time they would gradually improve the releases, but not before they got you to buy 3 or 4 sub-par versions of that character.  Look at the Saga line from 2002 - 2004 with some core characters - the initial ones were garbage, and they slowly got better.  And that seemed to be by design in order to get you to buy the next, better version of Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker.  Hasbro already did this with Kuiil and IG-11 in the Retro Collection - Retro came first, but then WAIT, check out these TVC versions!  And now they're doing it with The Mandalorian versions of Boba Fett and Ahsoka - arguably two of the most popular characters in the franchise.  I'm not biting.

Agree 100%  They know very well what they are doing putting TM Boba and Ahsoka in here before they get TVC.

I hate to be so cynical about this.  But Hasbro is so obviously trying to cash in by preying on collector FOMO.

I put that way more on us as collectors than Hasbro

Is there anyone here on JD who will buy this Retro Fett and Ahsoka only "just in case" they don't make TVC versions?

I buy there are plenty who will buy full wave because they need everything. So they'll be buying Bo Katan etc too

I also find it sorta funny to think Hasbro thinks what they are doing is some sort of secret. I think they often say "hey completist! We know you'll buy this!". No secret

Love em. I'd buy these before or after TVC versions so I don't care what order they release them. They are getting my money twice either order.
I hope we get an OT (new sculpts) or even PT or ST wave of these soon.

I'd pay more than 76 bucks for a terrible terrible terrible restoration since I otherwise will never own a Vlix. BUT not without knowing it's a terrible restoration and not a hand painted (by my 4 year old) repro. It'll be interesting to see what it sells for.
