Star Wars The Vintage Collection – TIE Fighter Pilot (VC65) – "Revenge of the Jedi" Card (2011 Hasbro)
Few releases in the Star Wars Vintage Collection carry as much packaging mythology as the 2011 "Revenge of the Jedi" sub-wave. Hasbro deliberately invoked the film's discarded working title to recreate the look of never-mass-released 1983 Kenner prototype packaging — a deeply deliberate act of collector fan service that made this entire wave thematically unlike anything else in the TVC run. The VC65 TIE Fighter Pilot was one of the characters hand-picked to anchor that sub-wave, making its cardback variant actively tracked by the collecting community to this day.
This example is presented vintage and carded on the striking black "Revenge of the Jedi" card with Kenner logo and blue blister. The card back features the standard TVC blue-and-black layout numbered VC65, with a printed image of the original 1982–1984 Kenner "Return of the Jedi" TIE Fighter Pilot card for historical context — a thoughtful design choice that roots this modern release directly in Kenner's golden era. Completing the first-release credentials, a Limited Edition Prototype Boba Fett mail-away promotional sticker is affixed to the blister, a detail specifically called out by TVC community members as a hallmark of this earliest production run. The card shows wear consistent with its age and handling, visible at the corners and edges.
Alongside wave-mates Han Solo, Boba Fett, Rebel Commando, Admiral Ackbar, and Wicket, this figure represents one of five "Revenge of the Jedi" cardback variants — and the only Imperial representative in the group. For TVC cardback variant collectors, the combination of the prototype-title packaging and the Boba Fett mail-away sticker makes this a particularly desirable single-carded piece from one of the hobby's most storied modern sub-waves.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.
