Yesterday evening I picked up a huge box at the neighbour's place.

Inside was this beauty:











I loooove the new vintage line.

bumping this.

C'mon don't just bump, but show off that modern stuff.

Marco-- Does your two-pack have the Celebration V sticker, or the Jedi Con sticker?

Sweet man! I never knew this thread was here. I'll post modern stuff as I get it.

This thread is well hidden, I guess it must have a small following

My latest pick-up is the VC B-wing fighter.

I know opinions on this modern stuff are divided, but I think the VC line does a good job of combining elements of the old & new!

The back of the latest VC cards are designed in the stye of the original 20 backs. If you buy these in Europe they are covered by a horrible black sticker, but if done carefully these can be removed with relative ease! However, if you attempt this don't blame me if it goes wrong!

Comparrison shot of the Original Y-wing (Made in Mexico) & the modern version. Although the deco on the new version is different, Hasbro did release one with the 'correct' deco a few years ago.

Sorry for the crummy pic but I got these two today. Filling a small hole in my collection on the left and the new Vader on the right:



Have to confess I am not real impressed with the "new" VOTC Vader. The helmet looks a little undersized and misshapen but they've FINALLY paid tribute to the vintage 12 back.

Great to see a bit more traffic in this thread lately.

Steve: That Y-Wing box rocks. Funny, after all these years, Hasbro still used the old vintage steel mould to cast this Y-Wing with some small modifications.


Dcarty: The new Vader looks great.

It's a shame about the VOTC Vader (I don't have that one yet). I guess Hasbro keep changing the scupt to justify re-releasing him in what seems like every other wave since 1995

The backs of the news cards are definately better that the earlier VOTC releases.

I had to travel to another city today and i had a super awesome star wars collecting day. I live in one major city in my province ( Canada ) but i had to go to another one which is bigger.

So off we went early and i landed at a Walmart over there and its like i got the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow today.At that particular Walmart i scored the following:

Darth Vader ( ANH CARD) now my all time favorite!
Luke Hoth ESB
Darth Malgus
Imperial Navy commander
Darth Maul


I had to stop myself at that place because i would have picked others ( less desirable but still needed cards ) because i was gonna ruin myself. I carried on and went back to my home town and stopped at liquidation world at got another 4 cards ( see other topic). So today i scored 9 cards for the amount of 80$ which is awesome! The Walmart ones were not cheap 10.77$ a pop but what the heck! i pleaded the GF who was with me and i won and got a ton of rewards.

I ll try to post pics of my latest acquisitions when i have time.
