Hey guys - just wanted to pass this info along about Hasbro releasing an exclusive 30th Anniversary Collector's Coin at CIV. It is supposedly the final coin needed to complete the 30th Anniversary Darth Vader coin album.

I tried to find a press release or some other kind of announcement about the coin, but all I could locate was this pre-sale eBay listing for it (so its validity cannot be verified yet). I know we're not supposed to insert any eBay auctions here, but it does have a pic of the coin and its box, so I figured it would be safe to post it purely for informative purposes only.

removed

If I find any other info on the exclusive coin, I will update this thread with it accordingly. I also sent Paula Walsh at Hasbro an e-mail (pjwalsh@hasbro.com) asking her to shed some light on this coin.

VK edit: Justin, once the info is found I will need to take the link to the auction down.

This might be the coin or it might be not but I do know that the vintage trilogy collection figures shall have a redemption running this year where you get not only the coins for the certain figures in the wave but you also get a exclusive coin which I heard was this one.

I don't think I'll be going after any exlusives. If I'm at the right place at the right time, sure, I'll get what I want. I'm not staying in a line for 5 hours for a coin though. I did that for some stupid figures that could be found on Ebay for $5.00 2 months later.

Val - you can now remove the eBay auction link from my initial post.

Thanks.

Yep UGH so it will be part of the votc figure redmeption.
There will be a coin at C4 though which I will not be surprised that it will look like the 63rd potf coin

Considering AFA will be attending C4 and the fact they grade coins now I suppose there will be people grading these convention coins afa 95U and selling them on ebay for megabucks.
