2021 marks the 5th Anniversary of Rogue One - Your ideas for TVC!
Darth More:
Hey guys,
I was wondering if a similar topic already exists on the forum, but I haven't found anything, yet. Please correct me if I am wrong and I will post this at the right places.
Xmas is just over and I don't know how you feel close before the end of 2017. But I am really looking forward to the return of The Vintage Collection in 2018!
I am sure you already have some ideas, suggestions and wishes in mind!
What would you like to see in the continuation of TVC?
Here are some of mine:
TVC 2 Return of The Vintage Collection 2018
Anniversaries:
ANH: 1977 - 2017 (40th) – 2022 (45) – 2027 (50)
TESB: 1980 – 2010 (30th) – 2015 (35) – 2020 (40)
ROTJ: 1983 - 2003 (20th) – 2013 (30) – 2018 (35) – 2023 (40)
TPM: 1999 - 2009 (10th) -2019 (20th)
AOTC: 2002 - 2012 (10th) - 2022 (20th)
ROTS: 2005 - 2015 (10th) - 2025 (20th)
TCW: 2018 (10th)
It seems like some opportunities to celebrate three of these anniversaries were missed probably due to the takeover of the license by Disney...at least we saw a little bit of celebration with the 40th Anniversary 6" Collection...
Here are my ideas for the upcoming products by Hasbro:
Wish List:
Vehicles:
BIG One:
- Sandcrawler - Dinsney released a new Sandcrawler in 2018 for their exclusive Droid Factory line
- Jabba's Sail Barge - HasLab Project, North America exclusive, crowd funded, to be released at the end of February 2019
- Millenium Falcon - BMF Repack/Repaint?
- TIE Fighter - big version repack/repaint - comes with TIE Pilot (Walmart Exclusive 2018)
- Imperial Shuttle Tydirium - New
- Speeder Bike with Biker Scout (TRU Exclusive 2012) – Repack
- Desert Skiff – New
- A-Wing – New
- T-16 Skyhopper - New
- Bespin Cloud Car – SODTS Repack
- AT-ST - TLC Repaint / SOTDS Hoth Repack (because we can't have enough of it...)
- X-Wing (Blue Squadron) - Rogue One - New/Repaint
Creatures:
- Jabba on Throne & Oola – SOTDS Repack
- Jabba’s Rancor – TLC/TBS Repack
- Sarlacc Pit – TAC Repack/New
- Wampa - New - (similar to single packed TaunTaun)
- Ronto with Jawa – New
- Dewback - Repack - (similar to single packed TaunTaun)
Playsets:
I really hope that Hasbro continues their latest attempt of playsets so that we'll see many more playsets and diorama parts such as:
- Emperor's Throne Room
- Carbon Freezing Chamber
- Ewok Village
- Endor Shield Bunker
- Ewok with Attack Glider
- Mos Eisley Cantina Set 1 (with 2 tables and 4 chairs)
- Mos Eisley Cantina Set 2 (with new bar section and Wuher's legendary dispenser)
Or both sets in one with Wuher included.
- Jabba's Palace
These are just a view examples and there are so many more ideas...the Ewok Assault Catapult for example was just awesome!
I think of all these great LEGO sets...LEGO makes such great sets...I wonder why Hasbro don't do so for higher play value. They always stress that children and their parents are the main purchasing power...that's probably why 5POA worked so well for the past 3 years...
Basic Figures:
Prequel Trilogy:
- Captain Panaka - NEW
- Battle Droid:
- Pilot Droid - TVC Repaint
-Security Droid - TVC Repaint
- Red Tan Battle Droid - TLC2 Repack
- OOM-9 Commander Droid - TVC Repaint
- Count Dooku (desperately needed, hasn't been paid any attention since TLC) - Repack/New
- Kashyyyk Trooper (41st Elite Corps)
- Utai II - TLC cancelled
- Darth Sidious (Office Duel)
- Agen Kolar - Repack with Robe

The Clone Wars

Original Trilogy:
A New Hope:
- The original 12 (Maybe as exclusive start/kick-off of the TVC?)

Solo: A Star Wars Story:
We'll certainly see some figures of the upcoming movie. I wonder how Hasbro handles the movie year. Are they going with two toy lines - collector focused TVC and one for kids?
What are your ideas? I am never getting tired of talking about Hasbro's super articulated Basic Figure lines!
- Philipp
JDeck:
Awesome list it looks like mine. I'm an Imperial army builder, but I also collect Jabba's guys and ewoks. So I can never get enough troopers. I would like to see more imperial officers. They can use the same body, but in different colors, easy peasy.
-Admiral Thrawn.
-Admiral Piett.
- General Veers
-Krennic
- Agent Kallus. (Realistic version)
- pretty much a remake of the Saga briefing room set.
More troopers.
- Stormtroopers with Rogue One basic head.
- repack of TBS Scarif troopers
- assault tank troopers (carded).
- At-DP drivers (Rebels).
I know this isnt TVC-ish but I want battle packs. Trooper squads. And I forgot what it's called but there's a comic about some special forces stormtroopers, I'd like to see a battle pack of them.
I would like to see Ultimate figures. Figures with tons of accessories and diorama accessories everything.
-Palpatine with throne, cane, lightning hands lightsaber hilt and ignited.
- Vader Meditation Chamber. Remake of the 500th figure, but with a top that opens and closes. The figire would basically be the TVC Vader with 3 piece removable helmet. With interchangeable hands; fist, grip, open, choking.
- Break away C-3po with cargo net interchangable; head (dented) (gouged eye), arm (red) chest plate (restraining bolt) (blaster shot). Removable back plate. And I like vac plating, but the paint they used for 6" TBS is fantastic.
Of course I can't stress enough how much we need...
-Sim Aloo
-Yak Face
- new Bib Fortuna
- new Tessek.
- Admiral Piett.
- super duper articulated Captain Antilles, (wrist, ankle joints).
The Spectre:
There is a rumor floating around that TVC cases may be reduced to 8 figures instead of the usual 12. We should know for sure at Toy Fair.
Darth More:
@JDeck: Thank you for your comment and the great add to the wish list! I hadn't have the chance to even list all the possible (and needed) Imperial Officers and Admirals. And I have to admit: I grew up with the Prequel Trilogy and don't know the characters of the OT as the characters of the second trilogy - ironic as it sounds, but I focused on the Prequels. I also need more time to add to the PT wish list, but Count Dooku came to my mind immediately!
And you made another very good point: Battle Packs! When I started collecting they included 5 figures mostly with great articulation for just 20 bucks! I miss those days and I got so many ideas for future sets like those...I think the chances for some of your listed Imperials are good to see the light of day since we got Tarkin and a generally strong dedication to the Empire during the time of TVC.
@The Spectre: Thank you for your reply! Yes, I also heard of this rumor on JediTempleArchives...what do you think about 8-figure-cases if the rumor was confirmed by Hasbro? Any chances or disadvantages?
So was I right with my conclusion that there was no similar discussion on the Return of The Vintage Collection on here before?
