Look, this isn’t another dig at “sixers.” So don’t take it that way. But will Hasbro ever throw a bone to TVC collectors? It’s pure frustration. The Vintage Collection cannot catch a break. Retail doesn’t care. Collectors are getting numb again. And it’s obvious that Hasbro certainly doesn’t care. (more….)

You saw our The Pathway To The Vintage Collection Special Report published on August 6th. Now we’re revisiting the figures that set The Vintage Collection in motion. Let’s continue moving ahead with 2006’s VTSC Sand People figure in our newly updated review, complete with new text and photos and Visual Guide.

In 1984, new packaging for Star Wars figures was introduced for the European market. A cost containment initiative, the new packaging sported three languages of the Return Of The Jedi logo for a “one size fits all” approach. Although a “three-logo” design was created for The Power Of The Force line (as evidenced on some ‘boxed’ toys), it wasn’t carried over to the basic figure line’s card design. They continued to use the three Return Of The Jedi logos instead. Although the word “Trilogo” is found nowhere on the packaging, the term is universally adopted by all Star Wars collectors to describe this line of figures.

Today we revisit Tusken Raider (Sand People) (Homme des Sables) which doesn’t vary much from the classic Kenner card art, except for the name. The review’s Collector Notes are updated with this information. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1978’s STAR WARS Sand People figure HERE.

Are you aware of the two versions of Tusken Raider Collector Series figures Kenner/Hasbro produced? They had to fill a spot for the postponed Chewbacca.

Tonight we are updating our Visual Guides from Wave 5 of the red-carded The Power of the Force line. Click each thumbnail below to check out our updated Visual Guides for these figures. This wave gave us some interesting figures, including a Tusken Raider who couldn’t hold his gaderfii stick, and one of the most interesting versions of R5-D4 ever made. Enjoy our look back at The Power of the Force [Red] wave 5! Don’t forget to also check out our full reviews for each of these figures right here!

It’s now time to check out the Sand People figure. But why was his name plural?

Walmart online has now “bundled” some of The Black Series [Phase III] 3.75″ figures for a special price. Still, some of you might still be able to find these for $4.00 each at your local brick and mortar location. Special thanks to JTA reader Mark for the alert.

If you’ve been waiting on purchasing The Black Series [Phase III] Tusken Raider figure, you may want to hop on that soon. Hasbro has discontinued production on this figure, and the solid case packs have been canceled! Readers of ours are also receiving cancellation notices on their pre-orders.

The Walmart exclusive Tusken Raider is IN STOCK for only $7.99 if you’re interested in army building him. Special thanks to JTA reader John M. for the alert!

They’ve been hitting for a couple of weeks now, but we just never received the proof. Finally, after a long waiting period, the Prototype Boba Fett wave of The Black Series [Phase III] 3.75″ line is finally hitting Walmart brick and mortar. Special thanks to JTA reader Aric B. for the report.

JTA reader Richard P. sends us a cool store report from Fred Meyer in Lacey Washington. Unbelievably they’re getting in kicker displays full of The Black Series [Phase III] Emperor’s Royal Guard wave which also includes Lando Calrissian, Tusken Raider and the revised K-2SO (among others). To date this case assortment has barely made an appearance at retail, so maybe they’re finally beginning to hit now.

As of this post, all of The Black Series [Phase III] 3.75″ super-articulated are back in stock. If you’re still missing them, now is the chance to grab Tusken Raider, Ponda Baba, Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) and Sandtrooper. Thanks to all who wrote in to share, especially legofan1227.

I asked Matthew H. from Star Wars Black Series 6″ Collectors Facebook page if I could share these images here at JTA. While it’s obviously just a mistake, it’s painful nonetheless because of the rarity these things show up in stock for normal MSRP. Look what he received in place of the two figures he should have received instead. That’s got to be a punch to the gut!
