Re: The Vintage Collection
Isn't every year expensive? I'm so loving what Hasbro has shown, can't wait to see further waves. Thinking, from what's been said, were bound to see some great updates and new figures. Love to see pics of the ROTJ wave. If Gammorean Guard looks as good as the current figs I'll pee.
On the Clone wars front, I love all the speeders and such which are coming. Here's to the return of vintage.

Re: The Vintage Collection
If everything pans out, I'll be right in this year hopefully ordering SEALED and MINT cases of all Hasbro 3&3/4" product and so on.
It's been like that for me since they relaunched the line.commandernarra said:

Re: The Vintage Collection
Ha! Ha!
When isn't there a year when its not expensive GNT? Add to that Gentle Giant mini busts and 12 inch Sideshow figures and its dam expensive.
Everything looks so awesome though this year though so it will be hard to say no to alot of items. I am really hanging out for that new Bespin Luke, Hoth Leia, etc, the Cloud Car and the big muther AT-AT which looks incredible.
Heres to a great 2010 in Star Wars collecting fellas.

Re: The Vintage Collection
So Vintage is out as we all know
Kmart has them for $15.75
Hobbyco have them for $19.95
And I've seen them at David Jones as well for $17.95
Plenty around so far. Sadly I've passed so far as I've got them through BBTS but need to pick up a few doubles

Re: The Vintage Collection

I've gotta check out my local Kmart today .. well .. it's August already ...GNT said:Picked up a few vintage figures today, looks like they'll be hitting in full force when stores put them out
Re: The Vintage Collection
$19.95 .. it's ridiculous ...
The same at Myer ... I've seen in the past that some figures were for $24.95?? while Kmart has them for $15.75 ... tsk .. tsk .. tsk ..

Re: The Vintage Collection
Been pretty quite for a long time .. well .. at least in the area where I'm at. So .. we are now just like wolves that haven't been eating for weeks .. our eyes really wild looking at the new figures ..GNT said:

Every year is the same for me. I buy it all and have done, since Kenner started it all up again, back in 1995.GNT said:
Re: The Vintage Collection
Oh well .. at least my Jedi Mind Trick worked well against the Sith .. LOL
I did recently ... and lucky enough I got my hand on Wave 13 Legacy Collection .. I had to really persuade the store person first to price matched it with BigW and Kmart. Nearly lost the battle for price match but at the end I got them matched with Kmart price.GNT said:Crazy prices, most stores (not sure about Target) price match so try your luckTitan_Shore said:

Re: The Vintage Collection
I don't usually .. unless for my desparate moment like with Wave 13 Legacy Collection that is so hard to find.
I had discussions with a friend overseas (in Asia) and he said that Wave 13 is everywhere and up until now they are easy to find but .. the price for a single basic figure there is around $20 .. well .. is that a trade off ?
The Star Wars merchandise over there is way more expensive than us so I guess we are still pretty lucky.
The last figure that he got was basic figure of Pre Viszla .. which has been released in some Asian countries for couple of weeks now. Has anyone seen it around ?

Re: The Vintage Collection
Hmmmm .. I can't wait for those CW bounty hunters and mandalorians ... sorry GNT .. I think I've discussed non-vintage stuff in this thread which is not supposed to .. I believe ..GNT said:
Re: The Vintage Collection
I am in the United States (Florida) and was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a sealed case of the Vintage Collection Wave 1 from Australia? I am not a fan of the Boba Fett offer sticker plastered on the US Vintage Collection cardbacks and I need a sealed case with "No Offer" to send to AFA (uncirculated). Maybe someone would be interested in trading a United States case for an Australian case of Wave 1? Anyone? If so...please PM me. I only need one box.
I was going to post this in the classified section but thought that if I went directly to the source (Australia) I might get a better response.

Re: The Vintage Collection
Can someone in Australia tell me if the Vintage Collection figures over there have different packaging than figures in the United States? What is the paper I can see in the bubble? Is that the Boba Fett redemption certificate or something else?

Re: The Vintage Collection
The Cloud Car Pilot I opened didn't have any paper or redemption certificate inside. The only difference that I can see besides the missing Boba Fett sticker is that we have a big barcode sticker over the normal barcode that the US doesn't have.

Re: The Vintage Collection
Saga Central
They are expensive for people in the US, however they should ship sealed Australian cases. Hope that helps.
You should try this site:deputypowell said:

Re: The Vintage Collection
Hey, I checked out Saga Central and you are right! I was able to hunt down a US seled case and thanks to eBay I have a case coming from Singapore minus the Offer Sticker.
Regarding the Saga Central website: Wave 1 of the Vintage Collection seams a little pricey $$$ but Wave 2 more seams affordable to me.
I also want to send a special thank you to oZcRo who offered to hunt me down the figures in Australia and send them to me.
You guys are great!

Re: The Vintage Collection
Hey there DP, can you PM me the name of the seller. I'm interested in sealed cases as well. Thanks

Re: The Vintage Collection
Picked up the Wave 1 VC today at Big W. I saw all figures except for Boba? Either someone has grabbed this in the first instance or it's a rare figure. Does anyone know whether Boba will be a hard to find ?

Re: The Vintage Collection
well if you live in Melbourne, then I and someone else would have snapped it up .. but then again I'm going to release one back into the wild again soon...Titan_Shore said:
Re: The Vintage Collection
Boba is one per case. All it takes is one hit and he is gone.
I wouldn't worry too much Titan. Wave #1 is going to be easy to find. I don't have Boba yet either.

Re: The Vintage Collection

Re: The Vintage Collection
Hopefully the stores will get more of this thing soon. Really look forward to get the second one on few figures to open them up ..Mike_S said:
Re: The Vintage Collection
Why release it back to the wild ? I thought this one is really cool especially with the removable helmet ..ESBbobafett said:

No confirmed date as of yet. Keep checking Mousedroid.com, because they will no doubt report all the details before it makes it to TRU.Titan_Shore said:
Re: The Vintage Collection
Got my Cloud Car off lay by at Target tonight and loving it.
Have two of the new vintage Cloud Car pilots in it too.
Really cool little vehicle and I love how it splits in half and has the pop out missile launchers. You can just imagine that the Twin Pod Cloud Car would have these features off screen.
Definitely a 10/10 as far as a toy and a long awaited vehicle.
Not bad for a "boring" ship.

I wish this cloud car was on the recent target toy sale.
Agghhh ... I look forward to get this one ... there are so many things to buy at the moment ... SL, VC and the AT-AT.Falcon_Gunner said:

Re: The Vintage Collection
now that's a better one... but here's my custom on the end
I don't mind the removable helmet feature even though some do ... but it's the actual helmet that is the problem. In case you have missed my ranting and ravings...Titan_Shore said:

Re: The Vintage Collection
Finally got my BBTS haul (most had been on Pile of loot for ages) and today is better than Christmas for me!
Got Vintage figures case 1, Vehicles case 1, Sideshow Palaptine and Throne, and finally the new FX Obi-Wan Lightsaber with removable blade.
Would have also bought wave 2 of the figures from there, except the case of 8 was sold out >_<

Re: The Vintage Collection
Just a heads up guys for anyone who doesn't have the first wave yet or want doubles - David Jones is already clearancing out the Vintage figures at $10 and some change. Might be worth a look if your after something.
