New figures mean I’m down for that.  Wish it was a little more interesting but I’ll live with it.

I'm kind of cool with the "new" retro figure coming a game gag. Better than having the "new" figure take up a regular release slot.

In case anyone wants to just order this online - it's listed as "In Stock" on WalMart.com - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Wars-Hoth-Ice-Planet-Adventure-Game/314847949

I just ordered two for myself, one to keep MIB (as shipped) and one so I can display the Snowspeeder Pilot Luke MOC with the rest of the ESB Retro Collection. I did the same thing with the ANH Death Star game.

Unlike the Escape the Death Star game, I never had this one when I was a kid, so I may have to actually break this game out and give it a try.

Thanks for posting that.  I managed to get a preorder in for the game and Hoth Han.  3 down, 4 to go.
