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.

These look awesome and all... still wish we were seeing more TVC and less Retro.

I also can't believe Hasbro resisted the urge to throw troops into this wave.

I wonder which one is going to come with a board game that no one wants.   :)

Special Edition The Mandalorian Monopoly with Retro Collection Remnant Stormtrooper would be the answer to that question. :)

Of course there had to be a board game involved!

Do we know if Amazon will be an option yet?

Me too.  Did they all sell out in one minute, or is their site messed up?

I went through Entertainment Earth after everything was added to my card then marked out of stock at Hasbro Pulse.

Yep, just ordered all 7 of the main figures.

I'm not buying a $50 Monopoly for a Stormtrooper... I'll have to figure that out later if it's different than the last Stormtrooper in any way.

Still not working for the Monopoly game.


Edit -- looks like this stock issue has been fixed as well.
