2006 Vintage Saga Collection (vTSC)

[Jesse James]

The ROTJ blaster is noticeably shorter/stubbier Anton.

If you have access to your stuff readily, I suggest looking at your Saga Endor Bunker Han Solo (the one with the bombs), and his blaster...  Compare it to any of your Cantina Han Solo's or your VOTC Han Solo (they have the ANH blaster).  They're both accurate, and accurately show the differences in Han's brain burners from the films.

I'll try to get some better pictures up in a bit, my wife and daughter went to see my inlaws and have the "Good" camera...I'm charging the other one right now.  We'll have live with these scans for now.

A message for the visitors/lurkers from other sites. Yes, I got them on EBAY, Yes I overpaid, Yes I am single-handedly ruining the hobby. 

For the guys here at JD.com...I look at it like this, if you average what I spent on the Biker with the total number of cases I have pre-ordered and plus what I HOPE to get a retail, it just adds a dollar a piece, and I am ok with that.







This little brochure came with EACH figure. I'm going to get  a shot of where they are located.  I fear that RETAIL is going to have  a problem, any unsavory type could easily remove these and not have a problem getting the Lucas Commtech Stormie.  This one is from HAN, I will scan Luke's when I open it.  The little foil Token is what you have to affix to the Luke's brochure.



ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great images Paul!

It seems the most important point is that you will need one of each of five different tabs from the figures in order to get the mail-away figure.  In other words, army builders that have multiples of one or two figures won't be able to get the figure unless they buy all five.

[CHEWIE]

I don't like the GL figure, but I do think it's cool that you need to buy all 5 figures in order to send off for it.

Seems like collector abuse by the Hasbro marketing folks to me.

I would agree if the giveaway was something I wanted..but this particular exclusive is not really my thing...

Ok who is up for more photos...keep in mind photography is not my thing, as stated in earlier posts.

The location of the redemption rules and "tabs".





And now Mr. Skywalker:



With Helmet



He has a FULL saber, a saber hilt, a pistol and helmet...the helmet is VERY spongy and is kinda tough to get off.  The good news (to me at least) is the head is molded in skin tone, NOT painted.



Mr. Solo.....

WOW a surprise is in this one...but you have to wait till the last photo to see it...







IS that a removable vest??? WHY yes it is!!



But WAIT, the belt comes off EASILY too...it is the Carkoon/Carbonite Han that SHOULD have been!!!! (in my opinion)




And now for Paul's vot for FIGURE OF THE YEAR....







HE FITS ON THE BIKE!!!

[MetalJedi]

That Luke is simplying amazing. Actually all of 3 of them are great. Now Im gonna have to get a loose set. Besides the loose Biker Scouts I want.

[Jayson]

 

That Han kicks ass, but that biker scout and that Luke - its a four way tie for me so far!

[Paul]

the Form inside LUKE's package





The battery on the camera is out so I will charge it overnight, if anybody has any specific requests.

I got a request from somebody for a comparison shot:

[Jeff]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!  That is such good news to see that he actually fits on the bike.

The location of the redemption rules and "tabs".

I hope that we don't see a number of thieft of these being that all you have to do is open the Star Case to get the tab and order form.

Awesome Biker Scout. The figure rocks. Thanks for the small review of them.

Excellent pics- Thanks for sharing the goodness. I'm more glad now that I ordered a case.

[Flacksguy]

Thanks for the great pics Paul!!!!

[SilverZ]

Paul.. those look FANTASTIC. Thanks for taking the time to share.

What a surprise with the Han. That's a big leap from the first vOTC one. Nice, nice, nice.

So it looks like the Scout has ankle joints after all. Is that right?

[Darth_Anton]

Thank you , thank you, thank you Paul! I'm not sure about the Luke x-wing, he looks a bit wonky. Hopefully my opinion will change once he's in hand, but the fact he has all of those accessories is outstanding. Han's looking to be a jem, the removable vest and belt is cool.

But I do have one question, does anyone think the uber-articulation is hurting the look of the figures?
