My Bespin Guards and Imperial Gunner arrived yesterday and by some miracle are super minty after being shipped in a Tyvek envelope.

Today I got the Stormtrooper, so all of my Walmart exclusive figures that I preordered were actually shipped to me and made it in reasonable shape.  Refreshing.

I hope everyone else manages to get theirs at least shipped and delivered.  I know you can't expect things to come in good shape from Walmart, but even getting it shipped and not stuck in a pending status has been a crap shoot lately.

If they don't want to due true vintage style I'd be perfectly fine with 5POA style modern figures like they made ten years ago vs. retro figures. 

Me too, but the "retro" seems to be their preferred thing right now.

I guess I'm okay with retro when its for lines I collected back in the day that were retro before retro (e.g. original vintage Star Wars figures).  Its still not my preference, but it appeals to the kid in me.

I never had Indy figures as a kid so I've got a different view coming in to the ROTLA line decades later.   I might get a retro figure or two, but don't really have that much interest in retro figures and would much, much, much rather prefer $20 modern vintage or 5POA figures.

I guess I'll probably get most of the 6" guys, but not sure I'll get much retro if they try and build that line out.

My perception was the Indy line didn't do well at all 10 years ago. Most all the stuff I bought was on clearance. Are they wary of that?

I think you're right that it didn't live up to expectations, but then again I think expectations might have been too high.  They were using the old model of creating a big line and forcing it through mass market retail.  I too bought most of my stuff on clearance.

I think these days where a lot of the action is direct/online, I think you could do a more focused line at a much slower pace.   Maybe more along the lines of a small Hasbro line like Ghostbusters.   Heck, it could even be seasonal with eight new figures and a couple vehicles / deluxe packs in the fall/winter and make it last for 5+ years.

Good list Ryan.

Does anyone have a list of the Padme Amidala outfits that haven't been made?  I'm not sure my list would be a whole lot longer than those outfits.

I'm hoping ShopDisney has these eventually for a slightly lower price and free shipping.

Is there anything very new on the following:
- Lando Skiff
- Han and Leia Endor
- Scout Trooper

Saw a tweet from Weird Al about this and I wasn't sure if it was real or not.

Wow.  That's an impressive collection of Detolf cabinets
