1. “Vintage Figures Asst.” is the official Hasbro case name for the 2010 TVC launch
In 2010, Hasbro did not print “The Vintage Collection” on shipping cases.
They used:
“Star Wars SW 3.75 Vintage Figure Asst.”
This is the factory case name for the 2010 Vintage Collection line.
The term “TVC” (as a fan abbreviation) came later.
Hasbro’s internal and shipping terminology in 2010 was:
• Vintage Figure Asst.
• 97568 (assortment number)
• VCW# (wave code)
• VC## (individual figure numbers on cardbacks)

2. Internal code confirms it:
SWHB10VCW4 = Star Wars Hasbro 2010 Vintage Collection Wave 4**
Breakdown:
• SW = Star Wars
• HB = Hasbro
• 10 = 2010
• VC = Vintage Collection
• W4 = Wave 4
This is Hasbro’s own internal coding — not fan terminology.

3. The street‑date sticker matches the 2010 TVC launch
“Do not put on shelf before the week of August 6, 2010.”
That is the exact street date Hasbro used for the 2010 Vintage Collection rollout.
No other Star Wars 3.75″ line in 2010 had that date.

4. The assortment number 97568 is the 2010 TVC assortment
Hasbro’s 2010 Vintage Collection used:
Assortment 97568 – Vintage Figures
This is printed on the box:
Vintage Figure Asst 12 pcs 975689424

The last digits vary by case pack, but 97568 is the key.

5. The date code C‑001C = early 2010 production
This matches the first production batches of the 2010 Vintage Collection.

Conclusion: Why this is the 2010 Vintage Collection
Even though the box doesn’t say “TVC,” every 2010 case was labeled “Vintage Figures Asst.”
That is the Vintage Collection — the original 2010 line with Kenner‑style cardbacks.

This case is:
Star Wars – Vintage Collection (2010)
Wave 4 – Factory‑Sealed 12‑Figure Case
This is not the modern 2018+ TVC.
This is the original 2010 launch, which is far more collectible.
