Topic: Derryl starts new Vintage Project

[Darth More]

I honestly don't have any issues with them needing more time. I rather give them as much time as they need and have an exceptional result at the end. I got a good feeling about this!
Thanks for the update, Tamer! The prototypes for the collector coins look great, too!

[(SID)]

Book does look great... Sure it will be... I just couldn't get behind another book of SW that's incomplete. I have too many already. I will miss this from my collection though especially with all the super sweet incentives' they added. I just wish lucasfilm would've just done this instead of all the other crap they put out in books that hit shelves'... (be more Leia... Updating visual dictionary's Etc.)

[Darth More]

Yes, that's very true! Making this book without being able to make it complete, yet, is just a pity.
They already annouced they would do a second edition to add to it once the Vintage Collection is done (which it won't be for another 5 years I hope!).
Well, if you change your mind I ordered a second book just before checkout. It's the basic version for $60, but I didn't want to spend $150 on it just for the bonus features...
If you want to have mine, you can have it! I'm afraid prices on ebay will explode for this...

Hmmmmmmm you just have to tempt me .... I had no idea of a VOL II

I have the other 2 figure archive books (and others including un-official ones). I still REALLY want the ones that GUS LOPEZ has done on prototype's etc.... That part is what I wanna see the most in the new BLUE MILK book.

I am a firm believer in stick to the deadlines you promise folks.

But will you say the same after TROS 😉 lol

Yep, thats how I roll! I mean I won't loose any sleep over it, but can you imagine the Hasbro fallout if they hadn't met their delivery date with the Barge last February? Folks would have gone nuts!

Still I trust anything Derryl puts his name on. He will make sure we get a good product.

[Darth More]

Haha, good one (SID)! Well, they already said a VOL II is likely to happen after the success of the first one. It's a 2 book compendium then. And I think it'll make sense to re-issue the first book when the second one comes out. Who knows when it'll happen. I don't hope it'll happen soon because I want The Vintage Collection to continue for at least 5 years! Make it last a decade.

Thanks for sharing update #21, Tamer! Read it this morning and it looks like the Coronavirus does cause further delay on delivery since the books and prodector shells are printed in China. At least the collector coins are made in USA. Let's see when we will get our books. Maybe in May? Who knows. All I hope for is that the people in China will get better as soon as possible and that their government can vanish this virus.

I am not downplaying the corona virus at all. Still, I am just getting bad vibes that this is gonna keep getting delayed and delayed. I don't know why I am feeling pessimistic now, its just one of those gut feelings.

I'm beyond excited for this book to ship! I got hope that we'll get a little view behind the scenes of what was supposed to come, but then was cancelled for The Vintage Collection...

[Tamer]

It will be good to get the book in hand. Sounds like folks can start expecting it toward the end of next month.

Just got an update email.

More delays.
