2025 TVC March Madness Bracket Reveal (LIVE!)

Get ready for SDCC this week by listening to the latest SWTVC Live Show! Evan (@milehighground), John (@thevintageconcepts), and special guest John Miko (@thefarsideofendor) got together for a surprise late night livestream on the @SWTVC YouTube channel to discuss @last.figure.standing, their SDCC hopes and dreams, and go on a deep dive even more deranged than the sandtrooper pauldron talk.

A Midsummer Night's Livestream (with John Miko)

With just over a week left in the campaign for the TVC LAAT/i Republic Gunship, Evan and John had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Steve Evans and Chris Reiff of the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team to discuss the gunship, HasLabs, TVC, and the community around it.

There's some insightful stuff here across a variety of topics, including:
- How and why this gunship differs from the previous version
- Pipelines vs surprises (and some teases for the future...)
- What TVC means to the team

Have you backed the gunship yet? If you are a backer, you're eligible to enter our Great Big Ghost Giveaway, where the winner will receive a TVC Ghost with all tier unlocks, the Sabine and Chopper 2-pack, and a commemorative #GotTheGhost sticker. Head on over to @SWTVC on Instagram for full details.

As always, #keep375alive and may the Force be with you! Oh, and #GETTHEGUNSHIP!
