I see the Retro Collection occupying a space that might have previously been occupied by the 5 POA 3.75" figure line. And since that's going in "The Vault", it seems like it might open up some market share for the Retro Collection.
I have a whopping 2 retro collection figures so far - Tarkin from the game, and a Yoda. The line just didn't interest me. It was a been there, done that sort of feeling. All of the characters in the line were represented with modern versions that were far superior than the original Kenner designs.
As for this wave? The whole concept I've been going by for the Retro Collection got turned on its head. Because now we're going to get characters in the Retro Collection that have never been offered as 3.75" figures. And all of a sudden you have to wonder how long will it be until a character that's being offered in the Retro Collection will also be offered in The Vintage Collection? To me, and the way I want to get 3.75" figures, it's a little frustrating.
