Topic: 1978 Boba Fett Rerelease

Hasbro should rereleas the orginal star wars toys the ones from the 70's and 80's sure all these new ones with all the flexibility are really sweet but how bout some old school toys. I just got the orinal slave 1 from 1981 yesterday cost me $125 and it is so sexy the only thing it is missing(too make it better not what it was really missing when i baught it) is that old Boba Fett that fits in the cockpit, all my other fett figures do not fit cause they're so much larger, but the jetpacks fit real nice.

Whats your opinion? should they rerelease them for all of us who arrived in the world to late to get them the first time? or just leave them in the past?

dont you think the old style figures would look really cool in your star wars collections?

We should make a petition and circulate it through all star wars fan sites for the rerelease of the old figures.

Here here, bring on the old figurines! Surely they still have the old molds somewhere...

ya know how much of a pain it was to get old george to release the unaltered original trilogy?  despite guarenteed sales of the product?  imagine that all over again.  but it would be really cool to have the lightsaber shooting out of the arm luke again.  or the alec guinness obi wan.

I think george didnt want to release the unalterd orignal trilogy cause theres some aspects of it he doesnt like, its the same with the Holiday special. But I'm sure he would'nt have a problem with the old figures being released again, they'd be sold out in no time. They really need to bring them back, cause alot of us dont exactly have $50,000 to spare on toys.

I don't know.  I'm still waiting for them to come out with a "Life Day" Chewbacca figure.  Red robe and all.

Rofl!

Like everybody else, I'd kill for the Kenner!

I got my 1979 Kenner Boba for 9 dollars at a flea market. :D

...

I despise you... :mad:

it is a good idea but then it would make it harder to get authentic 1979 bobas and or whoevers...damn black market ( though thats how i got my holiday special on dvd )

couldnt get much harder then it already is, has any one of us been in the presence of the original figure? besides Miba, Those foolish flea marketers dont know what kind of money they could've had. My uncle has Two I've never seen them but i have been under the same roof as them :D

they have a clip of a few in rancho obi wan on hyperspace...second or 3rd visit i think.

The old ones have the copyright dates molded into the inside of the figures legs.  I'm not sure, but I think that's how you can tell if you have a loose "Star Wars," "Empire," "Jedi," or "Droids" version of the old figure.  Although the Star Wars and Empire versions probably have the same dates, I'd imagine, since they didn't do that many runs of Fett on the regular Star Wars backing card.  I've never seen a loose Droids Fett figure, so I don't know if the date is the same as the Jedi figure or not.

Anyone out there know about this for certain?
