Vintage Collection Rumors

[Ryan]

Feels like VC375 has to be Han.

[Muftak]

1x ANH Vehicle   (still holding out hope this is the Z001/ Ubrikkian Speeder to sit outside the HasLab Cantina)

Jayson has confirmed elsewhere that this vehicle is NOT tied to the Return to Tatooine campaign. Wild speculation has centered around a Y-Wing or Vader's TIE.

[Matt_Fury]

I wouldn't mind either of those.

[Jeff]

Feels like VC375 has to be Han.

Based off today's reveals...

VC371 Cobb Vanth [2025]
VC372 TBA
VC373 Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi [2025]
VC374 TBA
VC375 TBA
VC376 Hammerhead [2025]

So the pipeline Han and Chewie are probably VC372 and VC374?  So what do they have planned for VC375? 

Deluxe Luke Skywalker with all the "ANH Luke" accessories that the DLX Landspeeder Luke was missing (Blast Helmet, Training Remote, T-16 toy, etc)?
Deluxe Darth Vader with ITO Driod, mouse droid, etc?
Vac-metal C-3PO?

Any guesses?

[P-Siddy]

My guess on 375 is that it is Vader or Anakin since the first two trilogies (and Clone Wars, etc) are about his fall and redemption.  We'll see.

I have to wonder if Hasbro might do something different for VC375?  They've gone the McQuarrie route back for the 30th Anniversary in 2007.  I wonder if this VC375 might be something along those lines that celebrate the history?  Could it possibly be a Luke & Leia 2-pack as they're depicted in the Hildebrandt logo?

[Nicklab]

The YakFace TVC rumor list has been updated once again.  And now it's got a TVC Haslab Vehicle entry.  Wheels are sure to get spinning with that bit of information!

[Rob]

Ugh.  I just hope it’s not something completely enormous.

[Nicklab]

The only one of my Haslab's that I've opened is the Razor Crest.  The Sail Barge and the Ghost remain in their boxes.  And considering the Razor Crest was the least expensive of the bunch it still takes up a massive amount of space in my collection displays.

[Dave]

Ugh.  I just hope it’s not something completely enormous.

Agreed.  Unless its a modular Death Star      Although Jayson's note is that the Haslab is a vehicle (not a playset).

I think The Ghost is kinda cool, but its just way too big.  I've got a twinge of collectors remorse on this one.  In retrospect I could have probably passed on this and still been perfectly content.

I do love the Barge (even though its huge) as it works as a playset as well.  I've got a ton of figures crammed in there along with skiffs to create a nice display.  I don't feel like I can do that with The Ghost.

I'd much rather see a TIE Advanced or something much more modest in size.  If they want it to be more expensive, just include a pile of unique figures.

[McMetal]

What could it be 

Remake or all new item? OT or newer media?

Announcement at SDCC?

[Nicklab]

I'm wondering if the Star Wars team waits for the ongoing G.I. Joe Haslab campaign to end first?  Having concurrent campaigns might dilute the potential customer base.

So if it's not at SDCC, when?  Hasbro Pulse Con began as an in person event prior to the pandemic, but it's been an online event ever since.  That's likely in the middle of September.  After that the next big event is NY Comic Con which takes place October 9 - 12.
