I am not really a collector of the 3.75" Star Wars The Vintage Collection (TVC) but I grab some that I like here and there. I collect more of the 6" The Black Series (TBS) line. But I have read on the Star Wars sites that ENTIRE WAVES of TVC have NEVER shown up at retail but then all of a sudden showed up way later at Ollies. These were pretty desirable figures in these waves too. I remember reading an article not too long ago either about this happening and the collectors of this line (who are really hardcore) were just dumbfounded and could not figure out how this happened. That Spector Creative guy had a video on YouTube that kind of explained this and it seems like toy companies have a behind the times, terrible way of restocking orders and just don't care. So entire subsequent waves never show up or get lost. Like I've said the more I learn about how the toy industry actually works the more I am like WTF?! Also, Mr. Wonderful has said, "I've often told people that if you've done something bad here on Earth, you go to Hell and you work in the toy industry down there."

Boy do I regret not snagging a 25th Stinger Jeep when they were all over Ross and places like that, now they're at least 100 boxed on Ebay. Kind of waiting to see if they get the Retro treatment like the FANG and HISS did, before I pull the trigger.
