2025 TVC Landspeeder with VC344A Luke Skywalker

[Jeff]

Starting up a thread for this one since it sounds like it will be put up for pre-sale next week (3/26).

- Landspeeder (new tool/sculpt) - [pipeline revealed because people spotted it in this poster]




Thoughts on a pack-in?  Will there be one?  Sandtrooper?  Ben (double-dipping the new sculpt that's coming)?  Floppy Hat/Poncho Luke (double-dipping the VC344 sculpt)?

I could definitely see the potential for a double dip on the V344 Luke.  The landspeeder comes with his rifle.  But then I think about the TVC release from around 2011, and there was no pack-in figure.

Poncho Luke is a natural... or maybe a muddy / dirty C-3PO?

It feels like the carded pack-ins w/ repacks or retools have become the norm now though w/ vehicles and beasts. It seems like an easy way for Hasbro to justify raising the cost of the base item and it gets "carded completionist" collectors who wouldn't normally buy a vehicle to purchase one, and the "loose & carded completionists" to buy two. And with the rumored higher pricepoint on the Landspeeder, I think we can fully expect one.

Honestly I'd be good with any of the suggestions so far. If it does end up being a Sandtrooper, I'd want it to be the officer and then they can issue the grunts as a basic figure.

Looking at the latest rumor list from Jayson, he's got $59.99 as the MSRP for the Landspeeder.

He also has it listed as "Landspeeder w/VCXXX (A New Hope)" so I guess it's definitely got a pack-in figure...

I was going to do EE... but not for that!

[Jeff]

Looks like EE is attempting to adjust down to $66.99 - if you add it to the cart, it's showing $66.99 in the cart.

Sweet.  I just got a "your item is about to ship" notice from Pulse for this.

Oh wait.  I guess 70 days from now, September 1st is their version of "about to ship".

These emails continue to be useless.  Seems like half the people got June 25th dates but no actual shipping notice and then half the people got September 1st for the date.

I got the "The new approximate ship date for this item is: June 25, 2025" but meanwhile, the actual order status on Hasbro Pulse says "This pre-order item will be available to ship on approximately September 1, 2025".

Your guess is as good as mine.

It will arrive someday.
