Title: Vintage Toysrus Exclusive Y-Wing?
Post by: Tamer on May 23, 2011, 03:55:53 PM
I found this looking at my facebook profile from my friends at Yakface today. Its up for sale on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/STAR-WARS-VINTAGE-Y-WING-FIGURE-/190536752633?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item2c5ce01df9#ht_500wt_1156) here from a foreign seller. Looks like we might have a shot at a new Y-Wing.

I have since seen this has been confirmed by RS too. Looks like its legite. I am such a sucker for a vintage box. Geesh, why does it have to be toysrus that gets the good exclusives?

EDIT: Spooky has a much more accurate statement from RS in his post below as I was referring to a post made on Yak's Facebook Profile. It is always good to have so many eyes and ears in Star Wars Internet Land. Keep spreading the information folks.

where on RS was this confirmed, I saw the thread and there was a lot od speculation as to weather this was a fake, a custom, or the real deal...


EDIT: This is what it says at RS, so it isnt confirmed.......yet

New Y-Wing Fighter A Toys "R" Us Exclusive?
Posted by Curto on May 23, 2011 at 01:36 PM CST:
Although it's still not official, it appears that the upcoming Y-Wing Fighter vehicle is slated to be a Toys "R" Us exclusive release. Check out what may or may not be the final boxed photo of this Oriignal Trilogy vehicle, and join the debat over its legitimacy in our forums.

LOL. I stand corrected then.

I was just responding to a quote I saw on Yak's Facebook Profile. Still, I would say it is looking like most think it is more legit than not at this point.

Well, it is slightly updated in that now, it has an empty droid socket and the cockpit has been vamped up detail wise. One of the new interior goodies is a positionable targeting computer for the pilot.

The Photos look pretty cool.  I hate it that TRU gets all the cool exclusives.  I missed the other y-wing releases, so maybe I can finally add a few to my fledgling fleet.

AWW it's a old mold with how good they've been doin' on figures in the VCyou would think they could come up with a new Y-WING mold. >:(
