News & Rumor Central - Vintage Collection
This is a thread where we will keep track and house all of the information collected on the Vintage Collection for 2011 and beyond. I’ll keep the main list updated as new things come along, so this will be a living, evolving list - check back often to see updates. Any tips that you might have will be appreciated. If I missed anything just post it below, and I’ll get it worked into the main list. Make sure to provide source links any time you add a new piece of information. Or if you want to keep it anonymous - send me a PM and we'll work out the details from there.

Confirmation from photos or Hasbro overt confirmation only - items removed upon release, see Thread Index for complete list, as always until we see the final announcements, these are subject to change

MIA / IOU Figures
These are subjects that have been shown, and/or scheduled for release, but then pulled back due to a production mistake (running changes), or the cancellation of a sub-line (comics). In most cases Hasbro intends to release these figures, however, it becomes a question of re-slotting the subjects. Most aren't likely to show until 2011 at the earliest. At minimum a prototype has to have been shown for a figure to make this list, no cancelled "announcements."
Imperial Scanning Trooper - 2nd Variant
Noghri Warrior

Kneesa
TC-4

Grand Moff Tarkin - 2012
Weequay Hunter - 2012

Curto Confirmations
These are on Curto's Checklist and while confirmed by Hasbro at some point, there are not enough details yet to put these on the confirmed list for the upcoming line. In a sense, these are other, "long term confirmations." They are coming at some point, but no further details are available.

Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

One wonders what the news from SDCC will be. I have a sinking feeling of late, hopefully they'll be able to bail it out!
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Yeah, I can understand that. here's hoping we get some exciting news to re-energise us all.

Also, as Kitster and Wald have been denied by Hasbro as a 2012 release, should they be moved into the MIA list above or to 2013 or something perhaps? Currently they are still in the 2012 subset.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Since
I noticed you still have wave 8 listed as on shelves in June. So is that wave for sure moved back to October or is that still not sorted out?
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

I know it's only a dream, but a vintage/realistic clone captain Rex would be the best SDCC ever.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Don't know - it wasn't terribly clear as to what was moved. I'm holding those for SDCC news to see how to adjust things.

That would be drool worthy. If I remember right, Hasbro only wants to release 1 EU character per wave. I'm assuming that's Nom Anor. I have no idea who he is, but I kind of doubt he's more popular than the ARC troopers.

Given all the hints they've dropped, I'd be astonished if we don't get that exact figure in 2012. We might even see it in the slide show, though that might be too much to expect so far out.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

That would be great--I love the Clone Wars series, but the figure molds are too skinny and not detailed enough--definitely want to snag Rex in phase 2 armor from the Vintage Line if it's happening.

Since it's July, can Wave 8 really be on-shelves for June? Might as well just read "TBD" or "Coming Soon". Same with Wave 9.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

How many figures is in the average wave? Wave 7 had 6... So is there an unannounced addition for wave 8 to be had??
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Some Lukes will be welcome this year Dagobah training, Hoth outfit, Jedi lightsaber repair... if this would be a complete depiction of his suit: cloak, vest, sash.

The sandtorm Leia will be ok, hope they sculpt her face and body, better than the tlc version.

Want the new speeder bike, with the hoover motion (a stand like the one from stap would be fine)
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Lando Sandstorm needs to go on this list. I was confirmed in the Q&[censored]
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Hasbro confirmed the new Weequay as well.

I think that's a good idea. SDCC should give us a better idea of how things will pan out for the next 6 months or so.

I'm hoping that they release the Aayla and the Bastilla waves before the Revenge carded wave hits or if necessary they combine the Aayla and Bastilla waves before the Revenge one.

I just reviewed the waves and think that there's definitely some confusion, but there are delays too.

I think the "Revenge" waves were what was delayed until October, that was originally slated to come with W9. W8 (Kithaba, etc.) was supposed to come as a stand alone wave.

At this point, as I noted before SDCC will reveal all. Although, as I've said elsewhere, I'm actually expecting bad news from SDCC - at least on the schedule front.

'78
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

I'm still hoping for good news, but I'd really hate to see those Aayla and Bastilla waves get pushed back to later in the year.

If the drought had been planned, then it would have been ok, but the assumption from TF was that we'd see a steady flow of figures throughout spring and summer.

Also, with TPM coming in February, Hasbro has a very tight schedule right now. Either we'll see an explosion of Waves in the next 6-8 weeks or they'll basically have to push those Aayla and Bastilla waves into 2012.

The other possibility is that Hasbro is actually going to go with 4 lines for a short period of time (TPM, TCW, TVC, and Legends).
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Is Tunghori selling anything past wave 7 right now? Usually he'll have the new figures up a few weeks before their release date. I've been checking everyday for Kithaba, but haven't actually looked for the other figures that are supposed to be in that wave.

If the flow has been stopped so Habro can rework the caustic case assortments, I forgive them.

I checked last night and Tung has nothing listed past wave 7. Not sure what is going on but maybe the rejects aren't even getting out of the factories where they make them. Seems odd that he has nothing new at all...

Since
I too am expecting bad news but not sure exactly what that is. I can't explain it but I have a very bad feeling about SDCC and it's not just the release schedule.

Actually, he is! He is selling/sold some of the Revenge wave which I think is going to be W8.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.

The worst news that could come out of SDCC would be Hasbro stating "We are as big of supporters of The Vintage Collection as anyone. However, the market and our sales partners are not actively supporting the line at the moment. So, we are going out with a bang with this incredible Revenge of the Jedi set. As for the figures previously announced and shown, we will try our best to fit those in the basic figure line as the market support for Star Wars increases through the Blu Ray release this fall and the 3-D release of The Phantom Menace in February. It is truly an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan, and we thank you for your support."

If we expect this from SDCC, anything less will be more satisfying.

I think(hope)that might be what is happening with the upcoming waves.

See below for the awful case assortment that makes up a revision case of the Dr. Evazan wave.

Wait, the figures he sells are rejects from Hasbro? Rejected for what? I was considering a 5 pack...




I don't think I've ever ordered from him before,but I did get a Zam from another eBay seller that has 2 left feet!!!

well ACTUALLY, the ones that tung has/d that are coming out on "revenge/jedi" cards are repacks so are tung's overstock (or whatever) from "revenge/jedi" runs or just overstock from previous runs?
I think what Krayt is referring to are NEW figs like Aalya, Dr. E, etc not the "revenge/jedi" repacks

Figures Tunghori has sent me are all identical to my store-fresh openers with no defects at all, as far as I can tell with side by side comparisons. As far as the Revenge repacks go, these have to be the Revenge run because he sold out of all of the first run of these particular figures a long time ago.

not nessessarily, he just listed a target utapu clone w/in past couple ofd hours, he has yarnas listed, a day or so added hk50....he has new listing up all the time of old figs. Say they are factory rejects, i would imagine that the factory wouldn't make 1 figure, inspect it then reject or accept it. instead i would say a lot, maybe a couple hundred get made at once then inspection finds fault w/ a few, they discard the whole batch. Just imaging how many loose figs could fit in a 55gallon drum or even something smaller like a milk crate. So it is feasible that a milkcrate of older fig may get found months even years later and ends up on ebay. Easily explains how tung, and others, get 2-3 hundred of 1 figure listed

btw, none of the figs i bought from these sellers had any defects to them. At first i thought the vc rft had the lower legs reversed, but i then noticed the belt was backwards and merely turning the waste and both legs around fixed it..no defects so maybe 1 out of the 300 from that batch was "defected"
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.

Thanks for the clarifying on my post. Yes, I meant no new figures (Aayla for example). Tung is a good place to see what is coming out soon, for him to not have anything is a bit worrying for myself.
As for the rejects part, I would assume that as someone mentioned, Tung would get a whole batch of figures where one is defective and he sells the rest in the batch. Also, sometimes he gets figures and something later changes (Like my Juno Eclipse I got from him) so they have to redo the figure.

As for SDCC, I don't know what they will announce but wish it would hurry up. If it's bad news I want to know quick, if it's good news and I want to know yesterday already...
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Is Tung illegally selling them? He has a huge feedback rating on eBay. Maybe Hasbro gets some of the profits still? Makes me wish Hasbro had a better store website with the Vintage Collection as an actual category where we could order, rate, and preorder individual characters so they'd know how many to produce. Sigh...

I've had a couple 'defects' from Tungh. And a few that I'd say would be classed as seconds.
ie obviously bad paint or badly bent legs, and joints that are so stiff they break when moved.
The worst defect was a Rex with 2 left hands....I've never had a problem with getting a replacement sent out quickly if there's ever a problem though

Yes, and it's interesting that people know the truth about it without any evidence.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

Did anyone notice that the Keyan Farlander figure he currently has up for auction has white leg straps as opposed to the tan ones that the previous Evolutions release came with? Do you suppose this is a slight repaint that they're doing for the Revenge re-release, or is it just a factory error, hence why he has it for sale? If this is the way he's coming in the Revenge wave, I'll definitely be picking this up, as I love Rebel Pilots, and this would be a nice variant to add to the group.
 
Re: Vintage Collection - News and Rumor Central v.14

So, some dealer in Germany are reporting that Wave 7 has been cancelled for Germany. Glad to see they could get those horrid revision cases with 2x ROTS clone and 2x Sandtrooper out, yet the figures that people really want, Bespin Han, Logray, RFT, Bom Vimdin get cancelled.

I had a Boba Fett figure arrive last week with 2 right hands/arms, his sending me a new one to replace it so I should have that soon. Pretty good service and usually good for getting toys early.

The other two B-Wing pilot figures have white leg straps so I'm inclined to think they are correcting the original release to make the uniforms....uniform.

If that's the case they also need to change the color of the red to match Nien Numb and the TRU Blondie whatever his name is dude. The reds are very different the two I mentioned match perfectly Keyan is too bright of a red.

In regards to Wave 8 it would be nice if they upgrade the White Clone and 212th to the new 501st Clone body (#45 EP2 Buck) to make them tolerable.
