Target is sending out updated shipping notices for the Droids R2-D2 and Boba Fett figures. They are now due to ship on May 26th. They also updated the product pages with May 26th as the release date. I don’t know if I’m more excited to finally receive these figures or to have that Target hold on my Credit Card for the past 8 months finally gone.
You can still pre-order these from the site if you have not yet found them at brick and mortar stores. Click below for the pre-order pages.
Update: Boba Fett is now going in and out of stock for pre-orders

Meh. The Vintage Collection Droids Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) figure is nothing special either. Hasbro didn’t even include the “pop-up” lightsaber accessory. (more….)

We’re not going to lie. The Vintage Collection Droids Boba Fett looks gorgeous. But upon further inspection, you’ll discover how lazy Hasbro was because they did nothing to help the character’s screen accuracy. It’s ultimately another disappointment. (more….)

Hasbro fails TVC collectors again with The Vintage Collection Yoda (VC218) figure. Refusing to update the swivel elbows collectors have begged for since 2011, they plopped the “Cave Of Evil” figure on a card sporting The Empire Strikes Back entertainment logo, added a few different paint operations, and called it a day. They should be ashamed. (more….)

Good morning Toy Runners! We’re back today with a couple updates. Some solid army building figures were recently revealed, and I’ve seen some posts of people starting to receive the Death Watch mandos in the mail. I recently received a Mandalorian throne and finished a custom figure from another Lucasfilm franchise. Click here to take a look.

A while back, a mock-up of what a TVC figure might look like was posted on The Vintage Collection Facebook group (image below). Well, our friends at Star Wars Figuren came across new information from someone with inside knowledge that says that this render was NOT FAR OFF and that we’ve essentially been revealed what the new packaging will look like thanks to this mock-up. Click through for more of what horror may be coming to TVC collectors. If this is eventually confirmed as the way Hasbro is going to treat the collector-focused line, then “see ya!” I’m done because I can’t collect a line like this. The “vintage Kenner-styled” line has been in existence for 45 years. Maybe they should stop producing the figures if they’re so concerned about plastic production. And before you say “you don’t throw away the figures,” at some point, someone will, and there are still such things as carded collectors.
