The Vintage Collection / Re: 2025 TVC Darth Vader's TIE Advanced

Makes me wonder if they’re starting with some tariff pricing cushion since the current pause is just for 90 days, and might lower it later?

Yeah, If this was going to be a $100-110 item like the recent X-Wings and E-Wing but then you add in 30% for tariffs, you get $130-143.

Sure makes it seem like the $140 is tariff related.

(HASBRO | Ages 4 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $139.99 | Pre-order on June 16 at 1 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse; Available Fall 2025)

Darth Vader piloted this TIE fighter above the first Death Star, using its blaster cannons and his Force abilities to blast Rebel starfighters into glittering fragments. Celebrate the legacy of STAR WARS with premium vehicles, playsets, and action figures from STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION. Based on Darth Vader’s Advanced TIE fighter from STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, this 3.75-inch-scale vehicle and action figure set makes a great addition to any fan’s collection. Features an intricate cockpit interior, authentic sculpt, and sleek deco modeled after the classic film. Pose out the included Darth Vader (TIE Advanced) figure -- featuring film-inspired design and multiple articulation points -- next to or inside his TIE fighter. Darth Vader comes with a set of alternate hands, an unlit hilt, and his signature red Lightsaber™. The vehicle includes an interchangeable “damaged” wing panel, so fans can recreate the scene at the end of the film. Display your fandom on your shelf with nostalgic packaging calling back to the original Kenner TIE Advanced release, plus an individual figure cardback with a VC number (VC #334). Reimagine your favorite classic scenes with other THE VINTAGE COLLECTION figures from the STAR WARS™ galaxy (each sold separately, subject to availability).

Based on the Bantha Skull review of the leaked set and what Hasbro showed/said in the fanstream today, it's just four of the VC349 Snowtrooper with 4x E-11 blasters and 2x long rifles for variety.  No officer deco/armor variants.

They put the Snowtrooper Commander variant in the Pulse "Stormtroopers of the Empire" 3-pack.

The Vintage Collection / Re: TVC and Tariff Pricing

Very impressed they actually followed through on that.  Would have been easy for them to keep those higher prices...

And my suspicions that this livestream might reveal the rest of TVC wave 24 have been dashed.  Those are probably being held until SDCC.

As much as I can't wait for the new Han and Chewie to be revealed, you're probably right that they are going to save them for SDCC at this point where they can put them into a big display case featuring the HasLab Cantina prototype.

Hopefully tomorrow gives us more than just the leaked Snowtrooper 4-pack for TVC.  There is one other figure in that Obi-Wan/Stormtrooper wave that might not be from ANH, so there is a chance they reveal that one as well.

Amazon has moved these back down to the pre-tariff bump price of $24.99 - https://amzn.to/41sWF11

Not sure it's worth pursuing any further. If they are unavailable, they're unavailable. Nothing a CS rep can do. Plus, I don't want to ding them by reopening the ticket. They did their job.
