Star Wars The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Book Kickstarter

This morning we received an email alerting us to this project (we also saw it via our friends at Jedi Temple Archives).

Derryl DePriest, who formerly headed the Star Wars brand team, is crowdfunding a book on Bantha Skull's favorite subject: The Vintage Collection.

HERE is the official press release.
You can also follow on Instagram HERE.

This is the note we received this morning:

Dear Friends,

We have worked with each of you over the last several years at either Hasbro (Derryl) or Tamashii Nations (Rich) and in Dave’s case, as fellow fan-media peer. Now, we are excited to announce we've started a company named Blue Milk and are revealing our first collaboration - Star Wars: Vintage Collection Archive Edition.

Star Wars: Vintage Collection Archive Edition is a premium format book launching on Kickstarter, today. The book pays tribute to Hasbro's epic The Vintage Collection toy line and includes details from the team that created it, accompanied by beautiful photography and layout.

Our vision is to create something of tremendous value to the fanbase, as well as something that we would be proud to have in our own collections. We are excited by the vision and hope that this is just the start for us.

You can find the details, including a press release and media assets, on our website.

We hope you’ll help spread the word!

Derryl, Rich and Dave

I personally chose to back this project for the $100 Book + Compendium Poster Backer level. The poster is photographed by Kim Simmons, photographer of the original "Collect All 92" Kenner card back (TheManWhoShotLukeSkywalker.net). It is limited to only 250 pieces across 2 different backer tiers. 200 (191 left as of this post) are available through the $100 tier and another 50 (14 left as of this post) at the $200 tier. And, for good measure, there is actually a 251st available if you are the $5000 top tier. Note that there are additional costs for shipping fees. The book is set for December 2019 delivery.

As with most Kickstarter Campaigns, there are some pretty juicy stretch goals. This one in particular has my interest piqued:

$80,000

She May not Look Like Much, but She's got it Where it Counts: Special three-panel, fold-out entries for the Millennium Falcon and Jabba's Sail Barge vehicles.
