Now this looks cool! This is one I'll be sure to pick up!
-
These have me excited, I like the design, the cards don't have the other crappy "special offer" sticker and the boxed look is neat. I want 2 of each
-
I'm all over these too. But I have to say, growing up in the vintage days I still have to make sure I'm calling the right character the right name. This set isn't going to make that any easier.
-
I hear yha,
Zuckass will always be the "droid" to me ;)
-
Whoever's going can pick one up for me too..these will be brutal on eBay.
-
I like the packaging on both of these. Brings back memories of the good ole days.

Just buy them off of HasbroToyShop.com or starwarsshop.com. No need to pay scalper prices on something that should be readily available on either of these sites.
-
Yepper, I have a feeling they are just saying limited quantities so folks don't wait to get them as discounted rates, like you can with smiley luke on hasbrotoyshop.com right now.

I had thought it was a trick of lighting when I first saw these. But after seeing a high-rez picture of this set, I see that the Star Wars logo is actually done up in a silver-gray as opposed to the white the rest of the vintage packaging will have. I'll still get them, but my enthusiasm dropped a bit.

I must have toysssss.......... Sorry A little cobra commander there at the end. But yes, I would love to have this set. I'b getting it off the web site. I really wish I could make it to one the Cons. Well any really.

Are you located in Australia? I'd tell you to order from HasbroToyShop.com or starwarsshop.com; but I'm not sure it's that easy if you're not in the U.S. If not, someone here will surely hook you up. I'm not going to Celebration V either so I'll be ordering online.

As per the name, yes i'm in Australia.... ;)..and hasbrotoyshop do not deliver . i'd rather rely and get better reliance from Shipyarders who may go...i'll certainly make it up to them...... ;D

I figured you were from "down under", but sometimes a certain on screen name just suits them whether it really has anything to do with them or not. :)
As for me, I won't be attending Celebration V; but I will be purchasing from either HasbroToyShop or starwarsshop.com. Probably best for you to find someone who is going to avoid the double cost of shipping. But if you don't find somebody, I could include your order with mine; and then ship to you.
-
Ta Steel, appreciate the kind gesture. Hope i can get one ya......
-
It says, very limited. I hope that doesn't affect the price because I am surely going to try to pick this one up. But, if it's way overpriced, they still have the Zuckuss in his own packaging, and I can go without a 4-LOM. Besides, they'll probably re-release the 4-LOM in a year or two. I'd still like to get this, though.
-
I don't need this figure per say, however if anyone gets one and doesn't want the card let me know don't just throw it in the trash.

Throwing away vintage cards is borderline sacrilege.
-
You would be surprised how many people will do it though.
Although I am now liking the Zuckuss because he has got a fake leather skirt apparently and he is the same color as the original vintage one, but I don't need or want the 4-Lom.
-
Yeah, I'm digging how they've changed Zuckuss for this exclusive too. I bought this last release because I'm a sucker like that; but the soft goods were a little off--mine always want to flair out. I've currently got one of those clear elastic bands around his legs to keep the soft goods close to his body.

Celebration V exclusives are now available at:
Hasbrotoyshop.com
OR
http://shop.starwars.com/

I love the packaging, but own the basic figures already.... I don't collect them for the packaging so I may have to pass....but if I happen to have extra cash it would be a cool set to own....ahh...what to do, what to do......
-
I am a carded junkie so I have two of these. I must say they sure do look good with my other Vintage Silver Foils.
-
My 2 cents is if you end up throwing away the packaging on this set anyway, it may not be worth owning. To each their own, but Hasbro really went all out on the presentation here. As it's been noted, the figures are more or less repaints (and different softgoods on the alien). Besides the vintage card backs (which are foiled--and a lot of people like for that reason--personally I'd prefer they weren't foiled but I'm weird that way) there is an all enclosing slip case. The coolest thing about it for me is the throwback to the name reversal. Without the packaging you lose that completely. But again, to each their own. I'm sure some people out there simply like the idea of owning the figure variants.
-
Agreed they look very well done.....
