Hasbro Announces 501st Legion Arc Troopers 3-Pack, But It May Not Be Easy To Get
Hasbro has answered the prayers of Star Wars collectors by announcing a set of 501st Legion Arc Troopers action figures.
Those same collectors, however, have doubts that they will get their hands on them.
CNET was the first to reveal Hasbro’s planned three-pack for their Vintage Collection line, which includes 3.75″ figures in retro-style packaging. The three-pack will include characters from the “Clone Wars” series: Echo, Fives and Jesse from the 501st.
The three fan-favorite characters sport some fantastic new sculpts, including holsters for their guns. Articulation is solid, and a step up from the odd-looking joints, limbs, and articulation seen in other figures.
The three-pack, which was originally slated to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, will instead be sold exclusively through Hasbro Pulse, which sells their collectible toys directly to the public. It will sell for $50 and be available to order in September.
Therein lies the problem, according to many collectors. Exclusives from Hasbro Pulse are often hard to get, and most tend to bought up by scalpers or resellers.
Hasbro has a terrible track record in making exclusives widely available for collectors, and most fear the high interest in Clone Trooper figures (which always sell well) will only make it harder for true collectors to get a set for themselves.
