30AC "Vintage" Wave

[Darth_Anton]

These are the same figures we saw at Toy Fair...identical.

I am going to make the not so bold prediction that the final product will not look like this.

 

That's what I thought and hope as well. Also thinking that the stickers (saying Saga collection) might not be final.

I'm still kinda pissed that these didn't come on the POTF cards with the coins included.  This should have been a no brainer on Hasbro's part

Agreed.  This would have been the perfect year to do it--but they would have had to go with different figures to do so.  Out of these, only Leia Poncho was officially released on the POTF cardback.  However, there were POTF proof cards made for four of the remaining five (Han Hoth being the sole exception).

I have to agree as well. They are doing the coins anyway, should have went with POTF cards.

Thanks for the heads up, Anton.

A Hoth Han that doesn't suck?  (waits for other shoe to drop).  I'm in shock about this.  I really thought they'd just put out a Bespin Han that was last year's Endor Han with a new cloth jacket.  Amazing.

God I hope they don't do a cloth jacket - they need to do it with painted arms and the rubberized "vest" portion so that it looks normal - like what they just did with ceremony Luke...  Softgoods are O.K. for capes, robes, etc. but when it's something as form-fitting as a jacket, definitely NOT!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have cleared off a shelf for the Snowtrooper, they will all be mine. I will build a Grand Army of the Tonphanan shelf and it will dominate the room and rule the complex.

Thanks from me too on that heads up Anton.  Got my case ordered.  Then it's just a matter of tracking down extras and hopefully finding people who only want the coin mail-in too for some cheaper sets of fodder/army builders.

Fortunately this go-round is only ONE I want a lot of, the Snowtrooper.  Last year I kept wanting more Tuskens but didn't want to shell out the cash while I was buying Scouts.  This year I'll be content with a few of each figure and lots of Snowies.

Good case all around.  I even like Han despite the lack of a hooded head.  I kind of prefer the head we're getting actually but a 2nd head at some point would be nice.  I just hope they don't put out Hoth Han with hood up in blue only and not Brown.  I could easily see that happening though despite accuracy.  As a nostalgia factor or whatnot.

Thanks for the tip.  Ordered my case.   

I'll be picking up extras too, especially of the Snowtrooper.  It will be bloody.

I saw that today too, and I'm excited about that one!  I'm not getting the regular coin album since I don't buy prequel figures, but this one is perfect since it's only OT and made only for vintage.

Anyone else notice that the offer for the exclusive coins allow any six POP, versus the one of every figure like last time. 

[JangoTat]

maybe they already know that the Snowtrooper will be army built and don't want people to go through the same **** they went through last year. kinda makes me wonder..sometimes hasbro does think
