I don't know much about Star Wars figures, but I really like the look of the new vintage figures on vintage cards and have been wanting to get the new Boba Fett figure. My question is, is he available only through mail away exclusive since it says "Free Boba Fett Figure" on all the cards, or is he also available on card for purchase in store? I never see him when I look through the figures at the store. If he is available on card now, is he a chase figure, rare, short-packed, heavily scalped, really popular, or just all of the above? Thanks in advance, guys!

There is a modern sculpted Boba Fet available on the regular card but he sells out quickly I've yet to find him either. The Vintage styled Boba with the firing rocket is only available through the mail in offer.

Thanks! So, the one available only through mail is different from the one available in store? And the one in store is not on a vintage card, then?

He'll eventually reach the sehlves, give it time. This is the 3rd representation of this figure with minor paint changes so I doubt he'll be too popular... I've seen all of them at the local Walmart here by work so give it a little time and you'll see these all over.

Right. The one int he store is a new modern sculpt that fits into the current toy line. The mail away version is a remake of the original Boba Fett with firing backpack from 1983.

No.
The Vintage carded figure that you can buy is an updated sculpt and articulation dealy on a reproduction of an original Kenner Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett figure. Cardback is based on the 1980 figures, as opposed to the other boba fetts that have been released since the line was restarted in 1995. The mail-away one is based specifically on the original Boba Fett figure that was never produced (with rocket firing pack) way back before 1980's Empire Strikes back. This figure will look like the vintage Boba Fett, see 5 points of articulation, but WILL have the firing rocket feature that was supposed to come on the original. I don't think that that figure will come on an Empire Strikes Back card or not. You need 5 UPC's and 6.99 to get that figure (and the patience to wait 5-8 weeks for delivery). Any figure currently out there will work for the UPC's, but I think the only way to get the mail in card is in the Vintage figure (at least that is the only way I have got one). Hope this helps. |

Thanks, everyone! And a big thanks to fearofdread! That does help a lot! So, to sum it up, there does exist a Boba Fett on Vintage-style card that can be purchased in store now, and there is also a vintage-style Boba Fett with a firing rocket that we can get by mail-away the way you described above?
