[QUOTE="jayums, post: 505340, member: 7190"] Hasbro bubbles have a tendency to do that 8) Based on the glue they use the bubbles will fall off by themselves within a year for that full vintage experience. :lol: I have to say I love them so at odds with a lot of guys on here. I think they could just as well increase demand / interest for vintage as cause harm. The different size/sculpt should mean capes and sabers wont be switchable with real vintage, which was my main concern. And I quite like the road worn packaging idea, in fact I think it would be quite cool if they all had a slightly different road worn look - torn off price tags etc :lol: . Better this than exact copies of the vintage mocs which could cause some confusion I guess. Yes it’s a cash grab in the sense that Hasbro want to make money, but it was ever thus, and nobody has to buy any of this stuff. And in a time where endor blasters are being flogged on eBay for 30 quid a pop, a line like this was inevitable, and maybe a fun way into collecting ‘vintage’ style for some newbies. I know I would have loved them a few years ago when I started collecting. Not overly impressed with Tarkin, but in a strange way I think he does look like what I think he might have looked like if released in potf era - has more of a last 17 feel rather than the first 21, which I’d have preferred.
