Honestl...Awesome, thanks for pointing out the SKU.<br /><br />Honestly, I just got into this hobby again. Dug out some guys from 30 years ago and got my kids a couple new figures. That prompted me to search and find these sites, and then start acquiring some new figures. I wanted a Boba Fett figure when I was little and never got it. Now I have several!<br /><br />Here's my rant..I've bought a couple of the Saga and Legacy figures (not the VC) and the articulated hands and arms are worthless. Right out of the package, they won't hold a weapon or stand straight...and it seems to be these super skinny limbs that they put on them. I'm actually looking for some of the older stuff now, like the POTF series and earlier stuff because of this.<br /><br />Hasn't this been a bigger issue to prompt some action? This is a pain for me, and I'm the desk jockey that has them at my cubicle. Hate to see the kids that really play with them!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820796036812496113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-15159868356701643872010-12-07T13:12:20.354-08:002010-12-07T13:12:20.354-08:00"Personally I'd have rather they made a s..."Personally I'd have rather they made a super-articulated modern figure based on the unique paint job of the original Kenner Boba Fett figures (which Hasbro/Kenner have never done in the modern line),"<br /><br />Give them time, milking Fett is something they never tire of. They can do that anytime. This mail-in Fett more of a retro kitsch thing to grab folks' attention.<br /><br />I'd rather have had vintage style figure of a character who never got a vintage figure. Tarkin, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Cantina bandsman...of course that doesn't appeal to the "finally fufilling wishes of grown-ups kids who were bummed out their old Fett didn't shoot missiles."<br /><br />Kenner removing the missile launching feature probably saved countless lives after that Galactica toy choking incident. We'd be short a lot of Star Wars fans today if they'd kept that dangerous projectile. So to hell with Holy Grails. Kenner would've been sued to bankruptcy and Mattel would be making modern star Wars toys and they'd SUCK. (LOL)<br /><br />Anyway, this doesn't add much to the old Kenner collection. I'll send off for one eventually. And get it and never open it. The change of the foot peg size annoys me. Hell, that annoyed me in 1995.<br /><br />If they wanted to be chicken @%#%'s they could redo this figure again in actual movie colors. Milk the mando for more.Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178819827126323590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-18738899046692047422010-12-07T08:08:06.304-08:002010-12-07T08:08:06.304-08:0097568 is indeed the current Vintage assortment SKU...97568 is indeed the current Vintage assortment SKU-- just look at the numbers on the top of the front of the packaging.<br /><br />They not only accept any current (2010+) vintage UPC, but any Legacy Collection, any animated Clone Wars, or any Saga Legends (since they came with weapons lockers) too.<br /><br />I sent in for mine using a pile of Clone Wars/Legacy 2009 figure UPCs I had laying around.Adam16bithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369348859276892966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-80688284244004993272010-12-07T08:03:54.569-08:002010-12-07T08:03:54.569-08:00Adam - love your site and check it out daily.
I w...Adam - love your site and check it out daily.<br /><br />I want to send in for this Rocket Firing Boba Fett and have some UPCs from the new VC figures, however the number (97568 Asst.) that the form asks for isn't on any of them, even though the offer sticker is on the front of the card.<br /><br />Do you know if they will accept any vintage card UPCs?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820796036812496113noreply@blogger.com
