We have a great report from the UK! Click through to reader JTA reader Rob's recent retail account!! This just goes to show that the stuff is out there and although it's taken forever to arrive, at least it IS arriving finally.



Paul!

I thought I'd share my joy with you today. Usually in the UK we are still stuck in a deluge of Movie Heroes or TPM Vintage Collection (its only been 11 months... give it time!)

Today, I took a trip to a newly opened branch of a store called B+M (http://www.bmstores.co.uk). I'd heard rumours that they had been regularly received the AOTC Vintage wave at other stores around the country, so I thought I'd make the effort to have a browse! Needless to say, I was greeted with a very nice surprise, a freshly stocked shelf of ROTJ Vintage collection figures, one each of:

Slave Leia
Endor Han
Wicket
Boba Fett (ROTJ)
TIE Pilot
B Wing Pilot
Bom Vimdin
R2D2 w/ drinks tray
Luke (Jedi Knight)
Rebel Commando (Black and Revenge variant)

All at £4.99 each (appox $8). I picked up the latter two and attach a phone pic. Interesting to see the Jedi Knight card back in a store over here!!! And the cardbacks are multi-language rather than the standard US versions or UK versions (which are the US versions but with a massive sticker on the back).

Hopefully some more will appear soon....

All the best

Rob
