Updates on the Tuantaun and Landspeeder

First, he lists the Landspeeder and Tauntaun in the “Vintage Vehicle Assortm.” leading us to believe that these two items will be released in the Vintage Collection packaging and not the Shadows of the Dark Side packaging.  This seems to be the way Original Trilogy items are trending for the fall, so this is not unexpected.  The second item is that he now lists the Tauntaun as “Luke’s Taun Taun” and not Luke with Tauntaun.  This could mean that there is no pack in figure.  The recently leaked pictures of the Vintage Collection B-Wing confirm that no action figure is included with that set, so again, this would start to establish a recent pattern.

Again this is all speculation and a little something to keep discussing our favorite toy line until we get some confirmed information coming out of SDCC this summer.  If you want to read volkerc’s information in its native German, please follow this link (about half way down):

And lastly, if you needed any confirmation of how bored we are or what our geek credentials are, I give you this:  The prototype Tauntaun pics that were leaked on Santrroopers.com show a broken horn on the Tauntuan.  This, as the rumor supports, is Luke’s Tauntaun.  If this beast is indeed released in the Vintage Collection packaging, will Hasbro give us the exact original packaging which depicted Han Solo on the steed, or will they ad lib a Vintage style box with Luke in the driver’s seat?  When is SDCC again?
