They need to leave vintage look to figures that existed on vintage cards. I was kinda interested in them until I started to see clones on vintage cards. Just like the card front the 12 back should be limited to 12 back figures

I'm just the opposite. For people who want OT figures on vintage cards there's 79+ that were made from 1978-1985. Go to ebay and have a ball.

I love that for those who want uniformity between the trilogies there are now finally PT cards that match up with the original line.

Picked up a Bespin Han the other day. I had Logray and the RFT in my hands too but passed for the time being.

Then they should have 2000 back cards now. The card backs were updated based on number of figures so they should have every version on that card back if you want uniformity with the Original figures.

I've never heard of MOC collectors displaying their figures backward. I'm fine with matching card fronts. A throwback to the original 12 backs is gravy, but it sounds like you dislike the PT anyway, so what do you care?

Nope I dont dislike the PT. I though it was really cool when the vintage cards first came out. Making replicas the cards I grew up with was just too cool. It would have been cool to the 79 original and maybe the last POTF cards. Now that everything is on that card it kinda makes it a lot less nostalgic IMO

So I thought I saw a picture of Hasbro Millenium Falcon...is it still in production ? If not did it come with lights etc ?

It's still available from the Hasbro website. It comes with lights, sounds and a ton more features. Best vehicle yet.

Oh well then that is kind of a bummer for you. All you can really do is try to avoid looking at the new "vintage" PT figures then.

Every time I think I'm done with Hasbro I come across stuff like this.

Any advice on a good Hoth Luke to pick up?

Hoth Luke is getting released as part of the vintage line in 2012. I don't know if its a new sculpt or not though.

Thanks! I'll just pick that one up when it hits.

When are they going to produce all of the different versions of Queen Amidala? She wore a ton of different outfits.

So I've had a hair up my *** to display a few items from my Hasbro collection. I chose what I felt were the best modern examples of the Kenner original 12 as well as the BMF. It's too dark in my collection room to snap pics at the moment but I'd say it turned out really well. I used to go so overboard in the past when displaying Hasbro SW figs so I was glad to see that it looks really cool with just a select few.

YoNose, I'd advise to not open your Luke Skywalker Tauntaun yet and hang onto your receipt. You have 90 days to return it and like all Target exclusives, it has a strong chance of being clearanced or put on sale (even if for $19.99). $25 is not worth buying for one Tauntaun alone... especially if for the same price you got a new Tauntaun, Han Solo, and Hoth Rebel Trooper.


That Luke Hoth coming in the vintage line IS a brand new sculpt but I wonder if it'll have the hip joints necessary to sit on the tauntaun. Only time will tell.


As for Queen Amidala, a new dress is being released next year in the vintage line.

Got my favorite Star Wars figure to date! (Savage)
