Hit up my Wal-Mart in Newmarket to discover the TVC BIG AT-AT has been dropped from $124 to only $70!!!

To further support this, I also hit up the Wal-Mart's in Barrie and Bradford and yes indeed, it has been knocked down to $70!

To further support this, Rebel Scum has posted a story regarding this awesome toy being on sale!

New photo updates for Wave 5 have shown up and our friends at Yakface.com were kind enough to pass on a few shots of the first figure in the wave, Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony)...

By way of Pros, the site mentions it is a very nice version of Han Solo's appearance in A New Hope, but they also mention the shirt sculpt is incorrect and the holster thigh strap present on the superior VOTC Han Solo from 2004 is still missing. Enjoy the pictures and thanks to Yakface for the shots. More pictoral updates as I get them!

Next up in our Vintage Collection series of updates is the next figure in the fifth wave of the series, R5-D4. The guys at Yakface, who were kind enough to pass these shots on, say the little Astromech looks great on the new vintage style card and that the 'dirty' paintjob works really well with this figure. However, as no toy can be perfect, the site mentions Hasbro is still missing the orange panels on the rear of this figure that Kenner noticed on the '78 version.

Enjoy!

I still love the first one with the hidden missle launcher feature.

Today's TVC Wave 5 update is Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape). Yakface mentions the toy is a nice update and has a pretty good likeness to Mark Hamill and has a nice amount of accessories. They also love the addition of the soft goods. But, on the negative, if they can even be considered negative, the comlink is very small and he has no headset, something that would've also rendered the POTF2 Gunner Station Luke Skywalker out-of-date as well.

Enjoy the shots and thanks again to Yakface.com!

That ep.2 clone is a new sculpt?

It sure looks like it doesn't it? I wonder if they will paint the grey soles on his shoes?

A pretty good looking group of figures, IMHO.

Tonight, our pictoral update of Wave 5 of the Star Wars Vintage Collection continues with the 212th Attack Battalion Clone Trooper.

On the plus side, the figure utilizes the enhanced articulation body most recently seen with the VC15 Clone Trooper. The figure also finally includes the evolution molds for both weapons. Corrected belt orientation looks to have carried over from the VC15 Clone Trooper as well. On the negative side however, the helmet displays signs of discoloration (yellowing) and lacks the weathering effect that worked on the TSC version so well. On top of that, the orange color flashes do not match the most recent release of Commander Cody.

Enjoy the accompanying shots from our friends at Yakface.com!
