Twelve days ago, we made this sponsor announcement that Entertainment Earth had the Vintage Collection "Yak Face" wave in stock. This morning, my "saved search" alert email notified me that they are already sold out listing the wave as "restocking soon". I'm not prepared to say this is a definitive statement. I have no idea how many were in-stock, and I feel traditional brick and mortar is a better judge of demand.
Having said that, this would mark the third time the Yak Face wave has sold out at Entertainment Earth. That can't be nothing. So while I can't say empirically that The Vintage Collection is "hot", that's my increasing gut feeling. I feel like its collector demand is trending. I don't play with people's jobs. Never have and never will. With that in mind, I don't think anyone at Hasbro would risk their job by starting to dedicate more resources toward TVC. I'm sitting here contemplating ordering a second Mandalorian wave case.
