The figures are ok, it's the packaging I like. I'm a sucker for a figure blistered to a card. Not collector friendly, but that's how I prefer figures. Card art is nearly as dead a medium as movie posters. They should just do all the 3.75 and 6" figures with this style a pack.

I think Kylo Ren and the Stormtrooper look really nice. Pretty much the best you're goign to get at that size class. Snoke isn't too bad if you're a Snoke fan. The rest suffer from normal Hasbro 3.75" paint issues.

Will be good when the line gets back to a majority of new issues instead of repacks.
Still good to see it did return,long may it reign.

I'm happy that the Vintage Collection is making a comeback. I think something as epic as Star Wars works best in this scale because it allows you to have more figures, vehicles and playsets. 6 inch SW figures are fine, but the character selection is poor and you'll never get a 6 inch scale Sail Barge.
My only concern is that they are rolling the Vintage Collection back out with a lot of figures many 3 3/4 inch collectors already own. I guess Hasbro is anticipating me buying all of these over again just to get them on the Vintage style cardback. If they really wanted TVC to succeed, they should have had more brand new figures in the first few waves. |

Where is the Hoth Rebel Soldier in Tan vest?

Jyn Erso, retail poison. Her Lego, 3 3/4" and doll figures were the only ones left at my nearby Toys R Us that's at 70% off.
Wave rides on the hope that folks like the sequels. I don't even care if I own any version of Snoke. I'd rather have the Hoth Rebel I already own (more or less). |

It will be nice to see these in stores again. I found the basic figures today but nothing else.

Maybe not the best selection of figures to start with but I'm glad Hasbro wised up and brought the Vintage figures back. They never should've stopped the line in the first place.

I agree; I'm not sure what Jyn and a random Hoth Rebel are doing in what is clearly a new trilogy wave.

Meh, there's far better Star Wars merch to spend cash on. Take away the semi-decent packaging and all you've got is mediocre action figures - easy pass.

Glad TVC is back. The 5 POA takeover of the last few years had me a little disheartened. The sporadic 3.75” Black Series releases were okay, but few and far in-between.
With the Sail Barge a reality now, I’m hoping we start seeing some more figures to help build out the crew. I know Yakface is on the way and a new Klaatu, but here’s hoping we see more. And cantina aliens. Can never have enough of those. |

Saw the entire wave at Gamestop today... they had 1 Hoth Rebel Trooper and a bazillion Snokes. Snoke actually looks pretty good... not $14.99 good though.
