The Vintage Kenner Star Wars 3-Packs are some of the most rare and difficult action toy collectibles to track down, let alone compile a complete set. To commemorate Empire's 30th anniversary, Hasbro teams up with Target to produce 3 packs within a 3 pack and reproduces the classic Kenner packaging that sends wings aflutter for many who love the nostalgia and design of the black and silver piping as well as that Kenner logo.
The figure's themselves are repacks from previous The Saga, The Legacy Collection figures, and one The Vintage Collection Bespin Luke. At a $49.99 pricepoint, which hovers around $5.60 a figure, you're not collecting these to open. Rather, it's all about presentation, presentation, presentation to display this awesome set in your collection room and pay homage to a now long gone but not forgotten company in Cincinnati and the role it played in creating a legend for the toymaking industry.
These are officially available at Target stores tomorrow as a reported endcap presentation. The DPCI number is 087-06-1620. According to Hasbro, Target will be releasing a second 9 pack in the spring. We definitely cannot wait.
