I didn't see a topic for this yet.

At the SDCC Hasbro announced that Dec will bring the end of the vintage collection for awhile. In 2013, they will be bringing back the Build A Droid to use in it's place.

The first ATOC wave was shown and includes Mace Windu, Anakin, Arena Padme, Biker Scout and I few others that I can't remember. Smile

They will be continuing with the Movie Heros line.

That's good for me. As a vintage '77 to 85' collector the Vintage Collection was annoying and caused too much product listing confusion.

I wonder how big Jabba would be on the 6" scale? Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing some new alien sculps. Can't wait to see some Jawas and Ewoks.

It's a little confusing but I think they are just making some special select 6" figures and still continuing to make 3 3/4" figs.
