I can't believe how boring Hasbro has made this line.  All they had to do was sprinkle in a few unmade characters and people would lose their minds.

Boring? They put a big "Retro" sticker on the card, and a 40th Anniversary blurb. We're approaching NASCAR-levels of logos here!

I 100% agree with Rob, I would rather have Oola or someone like that. Are they planning to do a game pack-in figure like the last two?

[Rob]

God I hope not on that too.  I’m getting tired of buying terrible board games for single pack in figures.

How is this wave any different than the other OT waves?  ANH was six of 12 of the original figures and Tarkin with the game.  ESB was six figures that were just repros of vintage figures and then had the "new" X-wing Luke with the game.  Same thing in this wave.  Only thing missing at this point is a game with an exclusive figure.  Seriously doubt Disney will let Oola ever get made again.

How many times does Lando (Skiff) need to be a total dog at retail?

Agreed.  If they want to do a new figure I hope they just make it fan channel exclusive and not mess with a board game pack in.

My 5 year old and I have played both games a million times now. People buy it. Why wouldn't they do it again?

Nothing boring about this line. I'd love more new figs and this is the least helpful to my vintage collection with only one place holder but I still think it's fun.

Well, on the third outing with the "Mandalorian" Retro wave they made the board game figure a dirty Remnant Stormtrooper and put him in a Monopoly game that cost $50.

So let's hope no really "new" Retro figures come out in board games anymore. They already broke it.

For anyone wanting a Retro Oola… there’s a pretty great option available for $40.

Board games are fine.  Packing a remnant stormtrooper into the board game so collectors have to spend $50 on a game to get one isn’t.

[GrandMoffNick]

Yep. And I didn't buy that one at 1st and then eventually decided of my own free will to buy it later. Do what you want.

If we are gonna keep buying this stuff they won't stop

[Jeff]

Do what you want.

For some reason I want to listen to Digital Underground now.
