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.

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 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.
