Bring Home The Bounty – Week 10 Press Release

This morning Starwars.com released their 10th week of Star Wars toys, collectibles, and merchandise in their Bring Home the Bounty campaign. This week was especially exciting as it previewed two figures from The Book of Boba Fett. These are the first two figures to be featured in The Vintage Collection line from the upcoming Disney+ series. Also of note is the Fett figure being branded as a "World-Building Set" and retailing above the recently announced deluxe line of figures. The deluxe figs, which are Wal*Mart exclusives, retailed at $20.99 and included extra "world-building"-type items as well. The new price point is a bit surprising as Boba is not an exclusive and will be available at stores and etailers which usually keeps prices down. We will [...]

The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Arrives

We were thrilled this week to receive our copy of Blue Milk's Vintage Collection Archive Edition book (we were backer #25)! This guide to all things Vintage Collection has been years in the making and all of the hard work has paid off. The book which is a labor of love from Rich Alot, D. Martin Myatt, and Derryl DePriest (former Hasbro Star Wars Brand Manager) includes lots of industry insider information from those who worked on the figures as well as original work from notable figure photographers such as Kim Simmons, Richee Chang, Stephen Hayford, Jax Navarro, Alex Weiner, and Jason Yang. This book has become an instant bible for us in regards to collecting TVC and an amazing standard for any collecting guide [...]

HasLab x2 – It’s Now or Never!

As of this writing, we are under 24 hours left for fans to back the HasLab Black Series 6" Rancor! This crowdfunding campaign is currently at 62% funded which is unprecedented for a Star Wars HasLab. Both its predecessors, the Sail Barge and the Razor Crest funded before the final day. This particular project has seen some setbacks due to the choice of stretch goals not connecting with collectors and some sites and groups actively campaigning against the beast due to a number of reasons. Some have also argued that the competition of the Ghostbusters and GI Joe HasLabs have slowed the success of the Star Wars project especially as all three are taking place during the holiday season when wallets are tight. Hasbro [...]
