Hasbro has released sneak peak pictures of next year's "wave 5"
-
Uninspiring and Unexciting. There's not one figure there I'd be interested in at all. Too bad, really. I see 6 more peg warmers, which will eventually kill the entire line.
-
This is like saying, "Lets repack 4 figures and give them 2 semi new sculpts. As long as we print STAR WARS on it, they will buy anything."
-
I agree nothing inspires me here.
Is that some new ball and socket hips on those two clones though?
-
Pass on everything except maybe acouple of stormtroopers
-
I agree there isn't much here; but I'll pick up 1 each of the OT characters for my carded collection. Of these:
Luke: Surprised this looks to have so many new parts. The head sculpt looks new. It's hard to tell from the picture, but from what I see, it's not an improvement over the Resurgence of the Jedi head sculpt--possibly the contrary. The lower part of the shirt looks to be soft goods--which will help him sit. It's possible I buy one for my loose collection.
Han: I think the 2004 head sculpt looks much better on this figure than this one. Others have noted the shirt is not properly buttoned up for the medal ceremony. It's releases like this where it seems apparent Hasbro is going after collectors' dollars. For a kid who really wants a Solo, which sculpt is used really wouldn't matter; but a collector isn't going to simply buy a re-release of the VOTC figure. This figure is just different enough to suck some of us in. Like I noted above, this "different enough" will warrant a purchase for my carded collection; but it won't be in my loose collection.
R5-D4: Rumor has it, this figure is built with Build-A-Droid parts. The 2006 version looks a bit better IMO to the BADs. I don't need a newer, inferior loose version.
Stormtrooper: Not sure what I think about this one yet. "New gun" may not be enough to purchase a loose one. Though I say this assuming this is the recent Sandtrooper sculpt.
-
Do you think they did Luke with the soft goods so he can sit in a new land speeder than might be coming out next year?
-
Luke, honestly looks more like short round in the face, easy pass.
Han, Wow that is a lazy repack. The head looks like Harrison from Air force one and not ANH
R5-D4-will probably get just because I missed the last one.
Stormtrooper-Yeah I probably will just to add one more to the troops.
Clone-Eh, not realy interested, loaded with clones now.
Gree-Wow, get out the pegwarmers to fill the wave. Last time he was out he hung around for months.
-
Do you think they did Luke with the soft goods so he can sit in a new land speeder than might be coming out next year?
Could be. But unless the Stormtrooper belt is removable, the ability to sit is going to be compromised by the holster anyway--something that hadn't quite dawned on me when I previously posted about him. I suppose it somewhat depends on what he would be sitting on. If it's a narrow chair with enough ground clearance for the side holster, I guess it won't be an issue.
-

Short Round... :D I gotta a kick out of that.
-
I finally got the ppt I could open. Here are some larger pics.

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20continued/Slide3.jpg)
-
stormtrooper will be a normal removabel helmet one with new ball hips
-
U-trooper looks to be removable helmet type with ball-jointed hips.
-
I thought that looked like a Utapau trooper, but wasn't sure.
-
I've heard some rationale as to why this wave is so lame. Apparently Hasbro had intended this wave to be TPM inspired. When the 3D date was announced for TPM, that particular wave was pulled to better coincide with the release date down the road. With that wave postponed, this filler wave was created. The new Luke figure was done already and the rest...is what is being delivered.
I pass on most TPM inspired stuff anyway, so in terms of desirable items, ironically this wave probably contains more purchases from me. :-\
-
That Luke figure doesn't look like Mark Hamill at all. Resurgence luke is better. Han Solo is crap if you leave him alone. But I was thinking of popping his head off and putting another Han head on him, so I might pick him up. I don't have any Han Solo figures with the blue pants. I do have one sorry, but I don't count him really, he's the pilot version that comes with the Big Falcon. I like the Stormie and Clone. I wonder what the stormie head will look like under the helmet?
-
Can someone help me get up to speed on these Vintage waves. I thought Jedi Luke was coming out in Jan.'11. Is he coming out in Dec. now, or later next year?
-

The next wave of Vintage figures should be hitting any day/week now. It consists of:
Gamorrean Guard
Admiral Ackbar
Jedi Luke
Skiff Guard - Woof
R2 with Pop-up Lightsaber & Drink Tray
Rebel Commando
Wicket
The pictures posted in this thread are from the waves following this Jedi themed wave.
-
Thank you B.R.Steel! I need to sell some customs so I can buy more vintage figs.
-
I just want Luke and R4 I'll pass the rest
-
I just want Luke and R4 I'll pass the rest
I can second this.
-
stormie , r4 , and han
-
I may grab a Luke or two to be used as custom fodder ....nothing i want here.....wave 5=boring!
-
I've got 2 Rebel Commandos on the way...
-
The only one I liked enough to pick up so far was the skiff guard Woof. But I havent seen them all.
I want a few Gamorrean Guards and a couple Wickets.
-
I liked the head-sculpt on the Rebel, so I need to pick one up when I can, along with a Wooof or two. I picked up an Ackbar because my comedy single needed one. ;) I'll likely get a Gamo because I want those weapons!!

That's... oh my, that list has some promise. Especially if those are new sculpts. Oh my, yes...
-
wow this should be good, i'm looking forward to see how they do fordo
-
Wonder why Logray has the asterisk next to his name.
I assume they're grouped by waves and in release order; but I was under the impression Bom Vimdim and company were coming much later. Toyfare had additional information, but I don't recall estimated release dates.
-
I had heard rumblings of things like this. Looks like a pretty easy collecting year for an TESB guy like myself. I will need some time to build my funds back after this year!
I would love to see a vehicle list too. I am really interested to see what the next big vehicle will be.

You only collect ESB characters? Here's to hoping that Bespin Han is everything he should be. I know I am.
I believe another site's Q&A might have revealed the next big vehicle is Clone Wars related. Take this info with a grain of salt though. I may have my sources confused--i.e. more speculation or rumor than fact on someone else's part.
-
Yeah, that's an interesting avenue of speculation, Tamer! What vehicle, indeed. We got our ESB goodies this year, with the AT-AT, Twin-Pod Cloud Car, Snowspeeder, and TIE Bomber. They just dropped a Slave I through the CW line, so I'd be willing to bet a repaint/repackaged Slave I *could* be it, if the CW vehicle was a new mold. But if we accept the idea of Hasbro wanting to move on from ESB after the anniversary year and NOT wanting to tread on ROTJ's 30th too soon, What else is out there?
EpI - Could a new Naboo Starfighter (N1, I think?) be in the works? What about a Trade Fed transport (MTT, I think?)?
EpII - *ARE* there any EpII vehicles that haven't been done yet?
EPIII - um, I haven't watched it yet, so I have no suggestions.
TCW - as above. They've recycled a number of older vehicles into TCW packaging - AT-AP, Fighter Tank, AAT - and dropped a few doozies on us - swamp-speeder, droid bomber, (did the droid gunship release yet?) and the radio-controlled Hailfire droid. Is there a Jedi General figure who doesn't have their own exclusive Jedi Starfighter yet? If so, this could be their year! ::) But we're looking at the Vintage line, so I'd leave TCW speculations out of this. (assuming of course that the next big vehicle is a Legacy and not a TCW-specific selection)
SW - We're about due for a new "Luke's Landspeeder," I think. I can't think of anything else, as we've had a nice Y-wing and X-wing and the BMF; Vader's TIExI is out on local shelves as a repack/rerelease. *Maybe* we could see a rerelease of one of the standard TIEs?
ESB - nothing new from this, see above
ROTJ - again, with ROTJx30 coming up in 2 years, I doubt we'll see anything from this movie until 2013.
So... that's my take on the playing field. Other thoughts, anyone?
-
Doc, I think you hit the nail on the head as far as new vehicle offerings. I would bet that perhaps we will see a new Slave I in TESB color scheme if this first one does good. I just hope when they do it, they don't pack in some useless vehicle and figures and slap a one hundred dollar or more price tag on it.
-
*IF* they repack TCW Slave I (but as they have wrapped up the Year of ESB, it would surprise me), I'd bet they pack-in the Mandalorian Speeder mini-rig.
I'd like a non-exclusive re-release of the Crumb Bomber larty mold, myself.
Or a Rebel Transport.
:o :o
;D
-
rebel blockade runner ! yipeeee i've been waiting too long for this !
-
Hm. That's a possibility. I put it rather lower than a Slave I repack, as they already had an electronic Blockade Runner a few years back. Granted, I don't believe it was a figure-sized playset or had figure-sized features. That would be a good candidate, for sure! Do a Blockade Runner like the Queen's starship.
-
no doc ... i mean the rebel troopers from anh they're making a new one
-
OH! Yeah, an updated Rebel Fleet Trooper would be great!!
-
I have heard rumblings of a new fleet trooper which surprises me a bit as they released a pretty good battlepack with a pretty good mix of these a few years back.
As far as new vehicle releases I would assume the Slave I would probably be easiest (bascially just a repaint) and would probably meet the ROTJ criteria as far as being movie related with the anniversary. We might get some type of ROTJ pack in though. My gut tells me this is the first one we will probably see.
We have asked repeatedly for a new rebel troop transport, but they keep saying its low on the priority list (why I don't know), but Pat sure did ask hasbro a good question related to it, but check out the Hasbro Q and A to see about that.
As far as the Blockade Runner I do believe we will need another anniversary of some sort to see it. I am once again just guessing, but if we do get a new large vehicle I do think it will probably be a ROTJ offering and there has been a need for an updated Jabba's Sail Barge for some time and that would be pretty cool. I am also thinking there are a few bps they could relate to this too (Sarlaac Pit) so cross your fingers.
Now if I could snap my fingers I would love to see some type of new Star Destroyer type playset, but don't ever use the playset word with Hasbro or they won't even look at it.

tamer that battlepack only had two of the blockade troopers and they were potj versions , you know ? the ones with weird knee articulation
-
if your an ewok fan i'd buy loads of those wickets i.e diff paintjob diff scarf/turban one without scarf/turban with pouch ( so many ideas )

Yeah, check out the latest issue of Toyfare. They've got pictures of the upcoming rebel fleet troopers. They look great.

I only subsribe to SW Insider (good article on some customs this time out too), but perhaps I may try to subscribe to this.

Here is a link to a vid on Youtube which shows packaging for upcoming vintage figures:
-
the Hong Kong site HK501st.com has released this pic of the yet un announced Degabah Luke for the Vintage line.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5344699132_469caabc71_z.jpg)
-
Sweet, there is one I will have to have.
-
Wow, a super easy pass, between X-Wing Luke and Snowspeeder Luke and all the releases of the rebel pilots I see no point in this one other than to repack the same old figures. Looks like he might have new hips but even then I am not tempted.
-
Interesting...can't tell for sure but something looks different from the Snow Speeder Luke. I hope it is not a straight repack. I mean give us an accurate head sculpt atleast!
-
new arms ! thats all !!
-
I think it may be possible it's a new head sculpt too. A side by side comparison with a Bespin Luke might tell conclusively if it is or isn't.
Either way, I'll be getting at least one.
-
Yes, I saw the new arms but am withB.R Steel as I think it may be a new head sculpt.
-
I found some closer pictures at RS

Great work Shawn! I see, new head sculpt, new arms, new lower legs, the rest is a kit bash. Looks like I will be picking up this one after all. I just wish the face was less of a frown. I think that head will look pretty good after a repaint though.
-
Nice one Shawn. I am wondering about that atrt driver...........
I also found this rumor list for the Legacy Collection over at rebelscum with some interesting tidbits.
Basic Figures
# Bespin Guard (bearded)
# Captain Piett
# Captain Tarpals
# Nien Nunb
# Theron Nett (Red 10)
# Tiree (Gold 2)
Beasts
# Tauntaun (new sculpt)
# Orray
Vehicles
# Jawa Sandcrawler (BMF-style)
# Speeder Bike (new sculpt)
-
Not wild about the orangutan right arm on the Luke figure pictured. Hasbro has done a bit of this to us here and there lately. (Cloud Car Pilot, AT-AT driver to name a couple more.) Nevertheless, I'll stand by my original post in that I'll be picking up at least one.
I'm totally up for a Big Jawa Sandcrawler. I hope this rumor turns out to be true.
-
i will try to buy that fi-ek-shcirch or whatever his name is
-
I'm really liking the new vintage figures, cant wait to some of these reach my stores. :D :D :D :) :)
-
I grow real tired of waiting for these figures to hit the Canadian stores, all I see here are clone wars figures and tvc wave 1! Where is wave 2 & 3?
I think the stores here bought so many cases of wave one they are not placing orders?
Even wave two was only in a couple of stores for very little time before x-mas and I have not seen them since…again nothing but wave 1?
Lucky for me I bought a few sand troopers, Woof & a few Gamorrean Guards on ebay at a good price a while back.
However I wanted a couple more Gamorrean guards and checked ebay and people on ebay want close to 20 bucks for one….and they are still selling like hot cakes at that price.
Canada! Get with it and get these figures in the stores!
-
Von, they aren't showing up real well down here in the States, either. I've seen times where my local store gets ONE case of a new wave. No one understands a store gets only ONE SHOT at a wave before Hasbro pulls it from availability. That, or stores have stockppl who are pulling aside lots of cases for local collectors here in the backwoods across multiple stores.... ???
-
Oh...I thought you folks in the U.S. were lucky in getting lots of the new vintage waves in the stores? I do think that people who work at TRU or wal-mart pull some of these figures for friends/collectors or for them selves to sell on ebay?
I remember when wave one came out in the local stores a worker at wal-mart told me that one dude came in and bought every Boba Fett they had....that day I went to a couple other wal-marts & TRU and no Fetts to be found……and guess what....a few weeks later I saw boba fett on kijiji for $40.00 what some people will do to try and make a couple of bucks.
HA,HA....Sorry for the rant folks……I guess I’m just bitter today.....

Heads up folks, Jedinews.co.uk has just posted these images of wave 6 of the vintage collection as shown at the UK toy fair!
* Luke Dagobah Landing
* Clone Trooper
* AT-RT Driver
* General Lando
* Weequay Skiff Master
* Fi Ek Sirch
I got to say that I am liking this whole wave, especially Lando, the all new sculpt atrt driver, and look at that aotc clone closely. Is that an entirely new sculpt? He looks broader, not as skinny.
Dudes, I am juiced about this wave!
Thanks goes to Jedinews.co.uk for these images

Wow, I am just liking the fact that they are giving us new regular style clones. That AtRt driver looks great. They haven't done a removeable helmet one yet. I keep waiting to see if they will make a TCW character in the regular figure style. I remember they said they were not going to do that anymore. Still good news and good intel.
-
I WANT ALL OF THE AOTC NEW SCULPTS !!!!!!!!!!
-
cool really liking that at-rt driver ;D ;D ;D
-
i need that AT-RT driver
-
hopefully clint will hollow that aotc helmet ;)
-
hopefully clint will hollow that aotc helmet ;)
I'll bet that it already is hollow.
-
I do believe I may have just been coerced into actually buying another Clone Trooper. I'll have to see it in person; but from the picture posted, I like what they've done.
OT characters are an automatic purchase for me. Luckily they look great too. :)
-
Looks like a lot of ball-joint hips there! I'll likely pass on the Dagobah Landing Luke, but I'm afraid I'll likely buy multiples of the others...
-
hopefully clint will hollow that aotc helmet ;)
I'll bet that it already is hollow.
but wouldn't the helmet be off if it is ( i.e the at-rt driver )
-

Not necessarily, the rots clone in the vintage collection has a removable helmet but in it's package, he is wearing it.
-
ah , i see your point . i expect to have these new aotc clones in next years saga legends to replace the other crappy one
-
Is it just me or is the only new TESB offering we have seen or heard coming is the Degobah Landing Luke? Cmon man!
-
didn't we read somewhere that they were to release the atst driver or was that a typo that actually referred to the atrt driver?
-
found some shots here at rebelscum.com taken at the hasbro display during the 2011 toy fair. As you can see, the new aotc clone and the fordo clone have completely new head and body sculpts and I would wager that the 501st clone shares this same attribute. Interesting that they would do a legacy style sculpt of a clone wars figure again since they said that there were no plans to do so.

Now this shot also came from rebelscum and is from the hasbro presentation and shows some of the revenge of the jedi cards next to the figures they would contain. While the endor rebel trooper may be new, that old and worn out tie pilot sculpt certainly isn't

I didn't notice that Fordo had a Kama in his Phase 2 armour
-
One site has reported that all figures on "Revenge of the Jedi" cards will be repacks.
-
50 CLONES FOR ME !!!
-
Here's another shot of Fordo, this time with his phase 1 helmet and his phase 1 pauldron??How cool is it that they are offering a clone with two included helmets? What of the pauldron though? will there be two releases of this figure?
Thanks goes to rebelscum.com for this shot.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/5449690688_b3190d4554.jpg)
-
This is going to be one of my all-time favorites.
I loved the Hunt for Grievous Fordo and I dig this new figure, too.
-
when should they hit our shelves?
i want a few of the at drivers.
-
Take a look at the SW Hasbro presentation. I believe it lists the months these come out.
-
What waves in the vintage line can we find in Australia.
-
rebelscum has listed fordo as " clone commander "
-
And rebelscum posted this pic today with Fordo wearing both sets of shoulder armor. I am assuming now that he will be packaged with both sets and both helmets.
will he come with enough pistols to fill all of those holsters? Who knows but I will be certainly needing several of these.
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5298/5497620619_bb31e54cc3.jpg)
-
I must say that second helmet reminds me of a figure we saw on the first anime of the Clone Wars that Tartavosky made. Boy, it looks kind ridiculous with all those pauldrons on, but I sure ain't gonna complain if they are gonna put all that extra stuff in it and charge for accesories. If they don't pack in enough pistols, it looks like its time to buy a Legacy snowtrooper or something with some extra weapons in it! Great pic Clint.
-
that helmet was the one from the battle of Coruscant scenes in the mini series because that was Fordo (i have the Bust up of him
-

Well then, I knew I saw that one there!
-
OH sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! I'll need ... a few!
-
I'm really looking forward to this figure.
-
I'm surprised by the second helmet with Fordo. I'm positive Hasbro's statement was the figure was to have both Phase I and II helmets included. I guess when I think of the Phase II helmet, I think of those predominantly worn throughout ROTS. :-\
-
Someone at jedidefender.com posted this image of carded wave 7 figures over the weekend.
I notice that the fordo card is labeled expanded universe and that he is packaged with both helmets and shoulder armor but only one pistol.
Check out that fleet trooper!

See what they had to say about the new aotc clone and atrt driver
"The new Attack of the Clones Clone Trooper is astonishing-- I'll be going into it in detail in Figure of the Day shortly, but the all-new sculpt has bending wrists, ball-jointed hips, a helmet that's so perfect you can't even tell that it's removable at first glance, and both of his weapons have added painted details present. This one is so good that it makes Hasbro's previous best efforts, which were landmark figures in their time, look like also-rans. You gotta get this one."
"While I don't think anyone wanted to ask for a new AT-RT Driver from Revenge of the Sith, this is a significant upgrade. Not only did they add in a ball-jointed torso and a wonderful removable helmet, but his backpack is a separate accessory, his deco has been improved, and he has two guns-- not a bad touch. The ball-jointed hips should do wonders with getting him to sit on an AT-RT, particularly if Hasbro ever cranks out another movie version of the vehicle. You might be past the stage of army-building this one, but it's a really good figure that's worth picking up even if, at first glance, he doesn't look all that much different from the 2005 release."
Sounds like they have finally added CW wrist articulation to the new clone body sculpt which means that we can expect it in the new Fordo figure and the new 501st clone figure as well.

I do not care for the Dagobah Luke nor the Ewok. Otherwise... that's an awful LOT of money I'll be spending!!! Thanks for bringing those pics our way, Clint.
-
One of Fordo's pistols is probably in one of the holsters, and also in the toy fair pictures Fordo's kama was brown?
-
i'll be getting fordo fi ek scirch that clone trooper and the at rt troop
-
I look for that Fordo to be short packed too daggone it. I hope not, but it is gonna be as elusive as that new daggone Jango if not more so. That Rebel Fleet Trooper is gonna rock and roll too. I just hope Hasbro will continue to use the new ATRT Driver sculpt on other Clones. I hope you are right that they used this for Fordo too Clint.
Is it just me or does it seem wrong to pay nine bucks for one ewok when I bought two of em for six something just a year or so ago? I wonder if they would use the cost of plastic going up to explain his price? Good intel Clint.
-
They'll blame it on the price of plastic. Clint, have you seen much increase in what we pay for plastic/resin ? Far as *I* remember, resin price has been stable for 2-3 years, it seems.
-
its just a marketing scam nearly every company do's it , thats why they earn so much money
-
I'll probably focus on getting some AT-RT drivers, Some Clone troopers to paint so they are different ranks and 2 Captain Fordo's.
-
Yes.. Rebel fleet troopers, army build these guys. ;D
-
I wish they would put a Kashyyyk trooper on a vintage card.

Yeah, but that's one figure I honestly wish they'd completely scratch and redo from the start, never liked the other ones they made.
I don't buy many SW figures, but I got the AotC clone, and I love it. I can't wait to get Fordo with this mold and a couple od the other ones. Now I kinda want them to redo all the clones in this mold, but man, that'd suck for some of the army builders(myself included).

/grabs wallet, groaning in agony/
Help us, Tunghori! You're our only hope!
;D
Yeah - those bloody AotC clones and ATRT clones are likely to break me!!!

I really want a couple of those new AOTC figures! They look amazing! Any word on when they'll hit stores here in the UK?
-
Looking forward to the Bespin Han Solo and the Aayla Secura myself.
-

There is a Vintage drought in my area. Maybe I'm missing shipments, but there doesn't seem to have been any restocking of the Vintage pegs in my area for months now.
-

I found this image at jediinsider.com of a new echo base trooper that is to be released in late August.

Echo base trooper looks cool. But if August Vintage Collection distribution is anything like February, March, April and May, I doubt I'll be finding him.

I feel your pain. I never saw anything prior to wave 5 in my area just all clone wars stuff. i think i read in the Q&A section where hasbro said they are trying to rectify their distribution problem. Here's to hoping...
-
Finally it's neally June, that 501st clone will be on ebay soon and on shelves in the U.S. By the way I found the new Captain Fordo on ebay.
-
Man the new vintage collection line is rockin' it especially the AOTC clone Captain Fordo and AT-RT driver.
-
Got some new vc hasbro pics from yakface.com to show.
first up is the target exclusive search for Luke Skywalker pack with the new taun taun sculpt, a revamped hothy han and the elusive scarfed hoth rebel trooper.

these look great, i must have ponda baba and prototype boba fett
-
And *another* Hothy trooper?? Wow! Now, slap a Fleet Trooper ballcap on another head and you get a Hoth Technician!
-
Oh, you beet me Clint. Nice idea Doc!
-
Wow, I am drooling. Good lord I hope these are easier for me to find that my Bespin Han and Captain Fordo! Please please release these in quantities that will see them delivered to my stores. Nice intel Clint.
-
My local stores will each get one case - probably some time in 2013 - and I won't ever even SEE the good figs. ()rr
-
I really, really hope this deck officer and RFT keep shipping all year. Someone at Hasbro really should lose their job if this doesn't come to pass. I will buy these at $10 over and over again everytime I will see them.
-
I still haven't seen any of these figs on the retail shelves yet. Nor did I see the previous TCW Wave. I have never seen it this bad. They say they are working on the distribution issues, but this just seems like lip service to me. I know one thing if you live near a place that has gotten new figures in you are one lucky Yarder. I really only want the Bespin Han and Fordo from that wave. Guess I will have to go to ebay daggone it.
-
I have been checking my stores when time allows but no dice for that latest vintage or clone wars wave. Nice job to Hasbro on that one. I'm thinking that Tunghori is moving as many tvc and clone wars figs as Hasbro is right now.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing Clint. He always seems to have things in stock at reasonable prices. I sure wish he could get his hands on the carded stuff!
-
I did finally see Bespin Han, RFT and Logray at my local TRU the other day. $11 per figure is my breaking point though. I left them hanging. Someone will buy them.
-
Or you could buy them and run them on Ebay...
(I'm almost tempted, even at $11 each...)

Yepper, suckers like me who have spent who knows how much in gas searching already. I hear you on that price though. It is downright ridiculous.
-
Prices for Bespin Han and the RFT on Ebay are going down now. You can pick them up for 14 Bucks if you look around.

Found this video of what will be coming out over the next few months:
