It seems there is a nasty rumor floating around the Star Wars Vintage Universe….could the last wave be axed for the U.S.? It is very possible folks as many Star Wars sites have heard the rumblings as well. This years distributions problems lead me to believe that this could very well be the case. How many have found anything relativity new since the EP1 onslaught? I can say the only thing new I have found was the deleted scene wave; that’s it. I heard about the horror bestowed upon collectors during the tail end of Legacy and it looks like that might happen again. Now where did this info emerge from? Here is a post from a Star Wars Vintage group on Facebook. Now mind you, up until now this is just a rumor and until we discover anything less, take this with a grain of salt.
“FROM FLYGUY.NET:
*IMPORTANT NEWS FOR VINTAGE COLLECTORS* Last wave of vintage will NOT be reaching USA/CAN/AUS retail At ALL! Only online stores will get stock. Only EUR will get limited retail stock. Last wave of Vintage drama as usual. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…”
We do plan to reach out to Hasbro for some insight to this rumor so do not panic….just yet. Now onto the bright side of things. If this does happen remember that cases can be purchased through online sites such as BBTS and EE.com. This might be the way to go. Here is the breakdown of the final case…
