I’ve been called many things, but one label that seems to have stuck is that of the Worst Collector in the World. The evaluation apparently stems from my refusal to mindlessly buy things I don’t really want. Click through to learn about a thing I don’t really want that I’m buying anyway and why you should too.

While browsing Vintage Collection figures on Ebay, a couple of asking prices for Vintage Collection Millenium Falcons made my eyes pop out of my skull like the wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon.

The return of the Vintage Collection was announced last month at Celebration. In a dramatic presentation that built to a pregnant pause, the line’s return was heralded with one figure: a re-release Jakku Rey from Walmart’s exclusive 3.75” Black Series line. Hasbro, if you launch the line with that figure, we’re doomed. It has nothing to do with the source. It’s just the market. Hit the “read more” link for our thoughts.
Also, we realize the launch wave is probably locked in at this point, so we’re not expecting this article to change anything, but at least we’ll get to say “we told you so”. And that’s what the internet is for, after all.

We are all excited that TVC is coming back next year. We should be satisfied with this news, and should simply be patient and hope for the best. But we’re obnoxious collectors, so we’re also looking for a suitable line of vehicles to compliment the new line. Just look at the awesomeness of this thumbnail below! No, we’re not looking for a battle-damaged repaint of the misrepresented and oft-maligned Rogue One AT-ACT. Or…are we?

It’s official. The winner of the 2017 Vintage Collection Fan’s Choice poll is Doctor Aphra.
No surprises here. Happy? Disappointed? Ambivalent?
The poll results don’t make much sense to us, but it seems what is done is done. We only hope that the vote was legitimate, and all those that selected Doctor Aphra will put their money where their mouse-click is, and buy it at retail. May The Vintage Collection survive this early challenge!
