Shortly after the HasLab exclusive POTF Yak Face was announced as a pack-in for the Sail Barge, I took a stab at what the secondary market value of that figure would be. In the words of Lloyd Christmas:
I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though.
We hope you listen. The keys to the Vintage Collection becoming a retail juggernaut are staring you right in the face.
No. Vinyl records are not better than digital music. VHS is not better than BluRay. But brick and mortar retail still has viability for a very important reason, but I fear Hasbro is moving into a post-retail world.
One of the big new concepts introduced at Toy Fair is the “box in a box” paradigm where carded figures are included inside another boxed item. Just as HasLab swung open new doors last year, this concept has MASSIVE potential, and we have a few ideas to pitch.
Chris just took his pants off and is now running around the Hasbro presentation room..,
This bit of news broke last night, but I didn’t have the will to post. An Instagram post of an in-hand production sample the forthcoming TVC Leia in Boushh disguise figure has me miffed to say the least.
We’ve aired our grievances in the spirit of Frank Costanza, now it’s time to make our wishes in the spirit of John Bennett…
You might want to expand your hunting circle in include Sears. Yes, SEARS! I’m in disbelief myself.
It appears that Wave One-Pocalypse is winding down. It seems that the log jam of toxic wave one stock might be cleared, but that doesn’t mean you should have hope. It’s hopeless.
This was funny when it was happening to other people, but now that it’s hitting close to home, it’s no laughing matter.
We recently mentioned that the Vintage Collection is about to face its first real litmus test. I’m pleased to offer some empirical evidence of its pH balance.
We’ve had reports of members finding multiple fresh cases of Wave 1 at their local Walmart stores, and now thanks to our newest forum member, Agustin, we have photographic proof.
Update: More photographic proof from our own Darth Mire added.
Is it too soon to start using the “peg warmer” designation? Yes, it is. Will that stop us? NOPE!
Yeah. I know.
UPDATE: Official press images added.
UPDATE: Images added for both figures revealed…
If things were anything like the old days, we wouldn’t need to ask #wheressolo. Since both TVC and Solo are sparsely populated with product in 2018, we are left wondering, for the 4th straight film, where are all the characters?
