Hey All,
I remembered this from a few months back, so I did a little digging. These vinty sets were reported on GH.com and then a bunch of "star wars crazies" e-mailed the distributors of the items and got this response (which I lifted from galactichunter.com):

A couple of our readers dig further into the Vintage listings we reported about this weekend. The company who is distibuting these, Distributoys, responds:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your interest in the Vintage Star Wars figures available at ToysRus.com/ Amazon.com. We have had many emails regarding these items and we are very excited to be able to bring something special to Star Wars collectors everywhere.
These limited edition sets are made up of Star Wars figures that were released in the late 1970¹s and early 1980¹s. The figures in these sets are "loose", that's is to say, they are out of their original packaging but are still original, ³collectible condition² action figures.
Kenner released many Star Wars action figures and many different action figures of the same characters. The following action figures are contained in each Limited Edition Vintage Star Wars Action Figure Set:
Good Guys Set-
Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Outfit
C3PO
Hoth Soldier
Bounty Hunters Set-
IG-88
Boba Fett
Dengar
Bespin Set-
Han Solo in Bespin Gear
Chewbacca

All sets come with the correct assortment of weapons and accessories.
We hope that you are as excited about these Limited Edition Vintage Star Wars Action Figure Sets as we are. Please make sure that you check back with ToysRus.com/ Amazon.com often as we will be adding new sets all the time.
Thanks again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While these aren't officially "re-issued" figures persay, that's still a darn fair price for loose vintys if they're complete and in decent condition. If any of you ordered them and received yours, please email us with an update!
Thanks to readers Jason and Chad for the follow-up!
