So, what were these then ?

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

Not vintage carded?

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

jacobots picture is the Vintage Carded "Lost Line" chase figures. I suspect the exact figures we are seeing at Walmart are the "Wave 2" ones right now.

As for "best of the best", well thats some nice advertising. There is a reason why the vintage carded Bespin Leia's and Jar Jar are not selling well, and it isn't because they are the best. :p


To me that sounds a bit like spin.

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

Ah, so lost line referred to that card back? Gotcha.

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

Not to mention, since when has Bom Vimdin been an in-demand figure?

Great to see Gamorrean Guard return, however I have to ask, where the heck is Nom Anor though. Personally I think they should have replaced Vimdin with that one. And Barris should have been Fi-Ek Surich since we never saw him in Canada. (Or however that's spelled)

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

If that first wave does hit Walmarts it will still be nice with the sale and all. I'd pick up an ARC or Wedge Antilles on sale for sure.

Actually I'd get Wedge regardless. I don't think he ever came out here.

Re: STAR WARS VINTAGE FIGURE LINE: INTERNATIONAL MARKET UPDATE
 

I had to grab a Wedge from my comic shop stop in S'toon. The wave two figures are hitting WM in my home town. Some of the others I would like to see that I haven't seen yet like Nom Anor.

I could a lot more of the US released ones than the international ones.
