Star Wars creator George Lucas is being immortalized by Hasbro as a limited-edition action figure in stormtrooper attire, available only to participants in Hasbro’s “Ultimate Galactic Hunt,” requiring fans to show proof of purchase of five vintage Star Wars action figures.

How the heck do you show proof of purchase on something you probably bought as a kid? Or am I missing the meaning of the term “vintage”?
Mark in St. Louis, you almost understand what Hasbro’s doing.
They introduced a limited edition line of “Vintage” figures; five action figures from Episodes IV to VI packaged in near-exact replicas of the KENNER packages from ’70s. Each figure is packed in a bubble pack to protect the Kenner-style packaging. Mail in the accompanying Ultimate Galactic Hunt stickers (plus S&H) and you’ll receive the limited-edition George Lucas in Stormtrooper disguise figure!
This isn’t the toy I’m looking for.
Move along.

I always Lucas had turned to the dark side when he started altering his greatest movies .. now I guess we all know it’s true!
