Fans of Star Wars, your wallet is gonna hurt so much because, Hasbro has just announced a slew of new Star Wars collectibles and toys. There are two fronts to cover here. The first is the new Hasbro Black Series Collection and the second, is the new Hasbro Vintage Collection.

2. Star Wars The Vintage Collection Power Droid Figure ($12.99)
3. Star Wars The Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Slave I ($149.99)
Clearly, the highlight of the Black Series is the Darth Revan FX Elite Lightsaber. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous, specially in purple light and I am saying as some who is not so much of a fan outside of the original trilogy.
Speaking of which, the blade changes color from purple-to-red and vice versa at the press of a button. There’s, of course, sound effects and removable kyber crystal. Also, the hilt is of metal construction. Like, who does like metal construction, right?
The other highlight of the Black Series would be the Snowspeeder with Dak Ralter for obvious reasons.
As for the Vintage Collection, the Slave I is hands down the star of the show. It is built to 3.75-inch scale classic Star Wars figures and vehicles, featuring original Kenner branding. I would say the Vintage Collection should appeal to older fans who are loyal to the original trilogy.
The Slave I is based on The Empire Strikes Back and it has all the details imaginable, right down to the weathered look.
Both Star Wars The Black Series collection and Star Wars The Vintage Collection are available for pre-order. The former will start shipping September 1, 2020, while the latter, will ship starting from April 27, 2020.
