Ad: The Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter Vehicle in in stock - some fans (like the one who writes this site) already received theirs! It includes a carded Mando and a paper bagged Grogu - if you collect everybody on the card, you will want this. Orders of $79+ ship for free with the code FALLFREE79!

There are also exciting new Hasbro Marvel Lucha Libre figures. Show a friend. They will thank you.

UPDATE 6:28 PM PACIFIC: Zeb is now included and at 19,719 (and counting) with 2 1/2 hours to go, the Ghost is fully funded with all stretch goals.

In an impressive 11th hour showing, the Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Ghost is in the midst of a morning-ending surge of new orders. As of now (11:51 PM Pacific) it has 16,741 backers - that's twice the initial goal, and 259 away from unlocking the final stretch goal for Zeb.

The crowdfunding campaign ends today.

With few new vehicles announced other than some Speeder Bikes and Mando's N-1 Starfighter (pre-orders processing now), it might be a worthwhile addition to a room if you've got one. It's a big ship - bigger than Millennium Falcon-sized, if you're keeping track - so you'll want to be sure you make some space and sell some stuff down before it arrives. You won't, because you're like me, and also a procrastinator/hoarder.

Anyway, this thing ends at midnight Eastern / 9:00 PM Pacific. Do you dare take a third vehicular plunge? Secondary market prices for Razor Crest seem to be a little lower - you can find them in some local toy, collectible, and record shops - so I would be hesitant to recommend this ship as an investment piece in 2023. Of course, who knows what appearances it may have on a hypothetical current or future season of Ahsoka or a movie? I don't. So I ordered one, so I can play with it with the Kenner figures we know we're getting.

Better late than never! I've been speculating/predicting this for a couple of years, but at SDCC Hasbro confirmed the HasLab Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Ghost vehicle/playset. For $499.99, you get a ship that seems to be a little bigger than the big Millennium Falcon, the Phantom II, a slug/no-legs Chopper droid, and a carded Hera Syndulla figure. As I write this, it has just under 45 days to go and is 7,231 of 8,000 backers. But there's more to it than that.

Does it fit your old Star Wars Rebels figures? Sadly, I wasn't able to ask and am still catching up with con coverage - but Razor Crest and the Sail Barge were both designed with seats that work with Kenner-style action figures. So, let's hope.

You don't need it... but maybe you do. The long-gestating Kenner-style Stan Solo custom Ubrikkian 9000 Speeder is up on Etsy for US customers. It's $122, a lot of money for what is effectively a fancy Mini-Rig-style vehicle. However, there are no official ones known to be coming, so this is your current option.

For UK customers (and those wanting to see pictures of the detailed interior), check out Stan Solo Creations' web site. If you're searching for the now, if you're looking for the real thing yeah, this is not a licensed toy vehicle. But Hasbro hasn't really bothered to do vehicles in 2022, so you may have a few bucks in your vehicle budget.

Via eBay (thanks Mouse): Rebel Blockade Runner vintage style playset kit 3d printed 5 feet long!! Nothing Hasbro or Lucasfilm will announce this month could possibly be more mind-blowingly preposterous than this awesome $599.99 plus shipping vehicle seemingly forged in a 3D printer specifically for your old Kenner figures. It's an upsized dream of an unrealized vehicle.

It's massive, and just seeing an old X-Wing Pilot Luke absolutely swallowed by the massive cockpit is just an insane sight to behold. It's almost too big - someone should send me one, of course. You really owe it to yourself to check this out.

Hasbro's Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest smashed its goal in a day, and has sold 19,997 at press time.  The $349.99 vehicle is currently set to include three 3 3/4-inch scale action figures, four Carbonite blocks, removable panels, escape pods, blasters, and a toilet.

Amazon posted its  Star Wars The Black Series Speeder Bike Scout Trooper and The Child Toys 6-Inch-Scale The Mandalorian Collectible Figure and Vehicle Set (Amazon Exclusive) today for $49.99, and this is an ad link where we might get a few pennies if you click it and order. (So please do.)

The set appears to be the 2014 Speeder Bike set with a new stand, new deco on everything, and a new satchel with a baby in it.  I

After passing 11,000 backers, the HasLab Razor Crest Vehicle Campaign added its latest - and I dare say most compelling - stretch goal.  At 13,000, there are four Carbonite Blocks including a Rodian, a pair of human or near-human characters, plus Horation Sanz' Myhtrol character.   Given that in 40 years the only frozen figures we have had are Han Solo and Jar Jar Binks, this is a pretty exciting addition - and I'm hoping they hit the goal! 

Hasbro's PR team wrote in to say:

"In recent Hasbro Star Wars HasLab news, the brand has reached their stretch goal of 8,000 backers earlier today and subsequently revealed the second tier unlock for the HasLab Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Razor Crest – the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection The Child Figure with Pram!"

Also:

"Featuring a card back, head and arm sculpt, gear shaft knob, and Pram deco treatment you can only receive with the HasLab Razor Crest"

This probably means a mass retail release is coming, but even if it is, this is probably the easiest way to get yours.  (Even if it has a $350 ship with toilet with it.)

Already over 50% 67% 115% funded, the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest has what appears to be a changing table, a urinal, and what could be a ball gag. And that's just in one picture.  It has removable panels, removable engines, a 3 3/4-inch Beskar Mando with cloth cape, and unrevealed stretch goals.  This is probably why it's $350.   It also measures about 30-inches by 20-inches by 10-inches, so start looking for a shelf now.   Order here and wait until Fall of 2021 to get yours.

If memory serves the big Millennium Falcon debuted for about $180 in 2008, about 12 years ago, as part of Star Wars: The Legacy Collection.  At the time, we thought it was the final "midnight madness," and possibly the beginning of the end - it wasn't. The ship had ups and downs, and got reissued in Toys R Us-exclusive a few years later was $250 thanks to increases in labor and materials costs.

Click here to check availability at Target.com.  As of right now it is expected to be online only due to cost and size.  Will it go on sale later?  Well, given its high price, we don't have a precedent for knowing the edition size.

Let's get this out of the way: it's $399.99.   The revised The Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon is now the Galaxy's Edge Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run Vehicle.   It's just different enough to make you mad, with unique deco and two radar dishes.  The original 1977-style pizza dish is there, as is the rectangular sequel trilogy model.  Dirt deco is unique, and it has different figures.  Chewbacca, Hondo Ohnaka, and Porgs are included.  Is it worth more than a 2x price increase over 13 years?  Probably. 

After 43 years at Kenner and Hasbro, veteran toy designer and the man responsible for a lot of what we love about this hobby is retiring, according to The Toybook and elsewhere.   I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Boudreaux at a few conventions over the years and he was exactly as gracious as you would hope - plus he has tons of stories about the little details on a lot of your favorite vehicles.  

Star Wars: The Vintage Collection! It was not a big year for reveals. The biggest was a new edition of Boba Fett's Slave I, a long since sold-out formerly Amazon exclusive, now a shared exclusive. The 2020 edition includes a newly-tooled clear display stand and a new paint job that's better than ever, with cool engine lights on the back! It's also a lot more expensive, but not nearly as pricey as the secondary market rates for the original.
