Title: Kenner Retro Collection - ROTJ Collectible 6-Pack
Post by: Muftak on July 18, 2023, 09:31 AM
Images for a wave 2 of ROTJ figures coming in a box set have surfaced.

The 6 figures are Admiral Ackbar, Gamorrean Guard, Emperor's Royal Guard, Wicket, Yak Face (!) and Mon Mothma (!!)

Try as I might, I can’t get excited about this. 

The Mon Mothma thing is cool I suppose, but Stan Solo does vintage style better than Hasbro does, and the rest I already have.

I don't have a Kenner-style Yakface and I like the Mon Mothma, but I'll probably only pick this up if the price is right ($72 or less).

This is the way to do a 6 pack. A figure a lot of people don't have and a "new" vintage figure. I'll take something from Hasbro 10 out of 10 times over a custom made one.

I like how Mon Mothma had to have a blaster instead of a pointer.

At Pulse.  Shop Disney will be $96.

Empire never had a 6-pack wave1 re-release or a wave 2 (unless they're counting the amazon bounty hunters 2-packs). I suppose we should give it some time.

My idea for a never before seen vintage figure for ROTJ was a Darth Vader with removable helmet.  I do like the Mon Mothma!

Dammit, I only want Mon Mothma. This is worse than having to buy a stupid board game!

Has there been any official confirmation about this pack?  I have only seen pictures coming from a UK on-line retailer so far.

I preordered two sets to get a Mon Mothma to open.  Hopefully I can unload the extras or that will be one expensive opener figure.

I’ll take the Royal Guard off you if you sell the rest of the figures individually.

I received an email from Hasbro this weekend saying these were delayed until November.  Seen quite a few people in the UK receiving the sets.

I got the same email as well. Must be stuck on a boat somewhere.

I was charged for this pack yesterday, with the shipping soon note.

EDIT: And has now shipped out.

Same, mine has shipped.

I ordered mine through ShopDisney in order to get free shipping with the Halloween droid.  Still no word yet.

Got my set today. Mon Mothma came out really good, definite vintage vibe to her. Her accessory was a surprise too, won’t spoil it for anyone. Also it was a perverse pleasure opening Yak Face, lol

I have seen several reports of people getting their shopdisney orders cancelled even though they preordered back in July.

Got mine yesterday.  The Mon Mothma accessory thing is straight up silly.

That's weird since it isn't sold out on their website.
Title: Re: Kenner Retro Collection - ROTJ Collectible 6-Pack
Post by: Rob on November 17, 2023, 11:01 AM
I someone on IG this morning upset that their order was canceled and they just turned around and ordered another one.

But no word on if those will just be canceled too..

I can’t find it on ShopDisney anymore but their search function is atrocious too so who knows.

https://www.shopdisney.com/star-wars-retro-collection-action-figure-set-by-hasbro-star-wars-return-of-the-jedi-417132095055.html

ShopDisney has a Black Friday deal = "Take 25% Off select items, Plus Free Shipping on $75" with Code: GIFT

GIFT does not work on the retro-6pack to get 25% off, but if you add the R8-H23 to your cart, you get 25% off R8-H23 and free shipping on the whole order.

Thanks Jeff! I tried using that promo code too but you’re right it def does not work on the retro figures. I will hold out for a better sale I guess.

I got this over the holiday.  I didn't get any kind of notification, so I was surprised to see it.
