TESB Retro Collection (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2020/02/21/tesb-retro-collection-confirmed/)

I wish they’d skew more like 50/50 new and remakes... 6 to 1 kind of sucks.
-
I'd prefer "new" but I'll take 6 more "vintage" figures that I either don't have carded or at least not on ESB cards.
-
And if I understand Jayson's pics these are not exclusive this time? I hope they're less of a pain to find.
-
I am shocked they went with the Hoth Leia over Bespin Leia...I figured they would stick with the 1980 figures across the board.
Hope these are easier to find in store this time, and if so that Wave One makes it back around the same way!

Are there 7 figures or 6? These all look like rehashes. Is there a new one in here?
-
There is an ESB board game coming too, but the rumor is the pack in figures for that are the ESB versions of Artoo and Threepio.
I haven't heard a rumored new figure yet...
Edit: after a little search I see it is coming with a Snowspeeder Luke figure. Awesome!!

WM? Why? Sh&t

Yep. The worst.

Thank you to Jayson. Got all 6 figs pre-ordered.

Is the board game exclusive to Walmart as well?

Boba sold out in moments. Ridiculous. And ordering delivery from Walmart is about as bad a ordering collectables from Amazon.
-
As long as they don’t do another 18-variant prototype figure at comic con I can live with these being a little bit of a pain in the ass.

At the same time, how could they pass up the opportunity to do a first shot Boba Fett...just think of the rocket color variations alone!

Why would they do that? It's not like anyone would try and buy them all.......... ;)

I can just imagine a corporate strategy meeting at Hasbro where they have a picture of Rob in the PowerPoint and they are specifically coming up with products designed to separate him from his money.

Even I've got a breaking point with this stuff, and if they consistently do things with THAT MANY intentional variants, I can't justify it. It was fun the one time, but if they do it again it needs to be like 1/3rd of that or less for me to stick with it.
-
Between these and the Gamestop Exclusives, I'm starting to lose my interest in collecting. This BS about having to be online to catch the news and order instantly or you miss out is so dumb. Feed the scalpers and hoarders, starve the die hard collectors who maybe aren't online 24-7 or need more than a minute to digest your product. Apparently Hasbro is unfamiliar with the story of how limited editions killed the Star Trek Playmates line.
-
I was out of town and seem to have missed the preorder already? I saw Jayson's post, but can't find product pages at Walmart.com. Am I doing it wrong?
-
I'm surprised they're continuing this line. Did the ANH set ever appear in stores outside of that brief "exclusive" weekend at Target?
-
There is a very good chance that these will play out like last year's set - exclusive to big box, then available online at EE afterwards.
I am not stressing about missing out on pre-ordering at Walmart.com. I have zero faith that Walmart.com will ship me minty cards anyway. I'll just wait for the Fall and hopefully be able to order a case from EE to get guaranteed minty-cards.
-

Exactly.

And I'll be happy I have a set in 2 1/2 months. The word "hopefully" scares me personally.

This is my hope as well. I had to go to Target multiple times just to find the game with Tarkin, never saw any evidence of the wave of six.

It was a lot of work to track those down. And A LOT of people were out there trying to find them. My closest Walmart has a guy who buys anything potentially valuable on the secondary market, so it's pretty much a dead store. All other WalMarts else are a bit of a drive.
-
I was only able to get the Target ones because I happened to find a store that happened to have a DPCI checker and they happened to have a full case sitting in the back. Never saw any sign of them after that. If that was my experience at Target, you can see why I and others are concerned about finding them at Walmart. If they do end up on EE, that would be far more convenient, though I'm starting to feel like the entirety of this hobby is moving online. I know its more convenient for some, but my household is not one that is very receptive to constant deliveries of toys at the front door.

This is why I more or less quit when Disney bought Star Wars. It was hard enough back then with the black series figures. I never found the wave that had Darth Plagueis. That is probably the last time I actively collected Hasbro. These figures hit a sweet spot for me, so I bought the Tarkin game and the first wave from EE. I'm still trying to track down the prototype Vader to complete the set. I hope I can find these as well, but I'm not going to stress about it. I'm really just down to books and comics and the Hallmark ornaments in terms of active collecting. It is a lot less stressful not having to hunt for stuff all the time. Now my problem is I have so much stuff and not enough space to do anything with it. I have begun to let stuff go, which is another long and tedious process.
-
I am so glad that the pain of acquiring things for me hasn't translated to disliking collecting. The peaks of enjoyment happen less often but I still enjoy it. I personally can't imagine quitting collecting SW over it being more difficult. I'd much rather get stuff here and there than not at all. Anyway, I don't really have a point to this post, just thought I'd share my feelings as there's been a few posts similar to Ed and Justin's as of late.

My collecting has definitely evolved over the last 42 years. It started as my childhood toys, then went through I need two of every figure +variants phase, now it's a I'll get what I can of TVC as far as action figures are concerned but I'm really enjoying Prop Replica sabers (Dooku is pre-ordered and that Revan Saber is a must as well!). Frankly, if I can just get a hold of a Rogue One and TROS one sheet movie posters, I'd be a happy man!

I'm probably somewhere in between. I'm not quitting but am annoyed at the difficulty I have in giving my money to people for Star Wars toys. In this day and age of online shopping it shouldn't be hard to have a pre-order and stocking system that allows most on the ball collectors to get what they want. We're the hardest of the hard core and if we're struggling to get the things we want then its way too difficult.
It does frustrate me that I want more or less one of all new 3.75" and 6" figures, and when it becomes incredibly difficult to get these from mass market retailers its frustrating. I guess its no different than the way it was 20 years ago when you had to go to TRU everyday to get their 12" exclusive Star Wars figures, struck out, and then had to resort to scalpers on eBay. We're now in a different internet world where these things don't even show up at store based retail but we expect to have a few weeks to be able to click a button to pre-order and have it delivered.
Ultimately it probably means I need to get back to buying scalped items from eBay to keep my collection "complete".
-
And I'll be happy I have a set in 2 1/2 months. The word "hopefully" scares me personally.
Are these a May the Fourth release? I'm happy to help score some locally. It's a low priority for me and I'll only get these if I'm in a store and they are in front of me.

It isn't that I dislike collecting, I just knew once Disney took over, there was no way I could keep up anymore. At the time, I was trying to divide things up by movie, so I would need need seven sets of shelves for Hasbro figures, one for each movie plus a seventh for EU stuff. Same thing with lego. Once Disney made the purchase, my mind kind of exploded that day. I was just sitting there reading the news on Facebook and I knew I couldn't hope to keep up. Hasbro was the first casualty. Then sideshow (however I did preorder the Baby Yoda and did order the remaining BH figures to complete the set). I got divorced back in July, so I had to move all my stuff so everything is in boxes and totes filling up my basement with no real room to display anything. I'm going through the slow and painful process of selling off Hasbro stuff in the hopes of eventually make some space in order to display things like my vintage stuff and loose Hasbro stuff. I never even got around to unboxing stuff like the Big MF from so many years ago. It sits in a box somewhere.
I have kept up with Hallmark since I put the new ones on the tree every year. The novels and comics have always been a big part of what I enjoy so I keep up with those as well. I could really use a library or study type room so I could have them all on shelves instead of in boxes. I really dig the John Tyler Christopher action figure covers so I think I have them all except for the B&W version of Star Wars #1 with Luke. I buy the blurays in regular edition as my one to watch as well as the Best Buy steelbook to keep sealed and the UK 3D steel book since I still have a 3D TV. At this point, I'm just focusing on downsizing with the hope of finally displaying what I enjoy. Really not sure what to do with all the lego sets at this point, there are just too many of them.

I managed to order a Lando from Walmart’s website just now... but I really don’t have access to their stores, especially these days. I’d any of you guys happen to see extras and wouldn’t mind sending them my way...
-
Just bought Yoda on eBay so now watch the floodgates open on these. ::)

Much appreciated, it's usually me who buys an expensive one so everyone else can get them at regular price.
So far, refreshing all day, I've managed to get a Pre-order in for Lando @ about $18 shipped. That's it. It's absurd.

No problem. I too got tired of checking the website or Brickseek so I just bought the one I had to have. If I knew these were getting an online release in the Fall I’d have waited. :-\
-
I was getting antsy on these, and I know I'm not going to be out shopping at WalMart any time soon, so I paid the scalper price for the wave on eBay just to be done with it. I've never had good luck with WalMart's website (when I do manage to get preorders they gt cancelled anyway) and this summer is not looking good for hunting.
-
Was finally able to cobble together a set of these, first by placing an order for some from the app a week ago, they said they had plenty in stock, so I ordered 6, they cut my order down to 4 and I lucked out and the order included Boba Fett, Yoda, Hoth Han & Bespin Luke. Then this morning, I hit that same WalMart that the app indicated had stock and I found Leia and Lando (along with another Bespin Luke, Hoth Han, another Hoth Leia and two more Landos) scattered around the toy section.
I've had to use books to attempt to flatten the curvature of all of the cardbacks on these - apparently the endcap display shipper is to be blamed for the curvature of the carbacks, but I don't buy it as this store had no sign of the actual endcap shipper - just the items, so unless they purposely ditched the endcap display, they came out of the shipping boxes with slightly curled/curved cardbacks.
-
Anyone have a Brickseek SKU or UPC to check for these? Getting antsy about them after missing the preorder and not seeing any local SW shippers.
-
I read a post that they were going to show up at online retailers in the fall. Not sure if that’s accurate, but I think like last time, they’ll be available eventually. Hasbro (and Walmart) sure is making this a pain in the ass though.
-
I went against my vow to not collect this line, but I'm doing it in a cherry-picking way. My only purchases? The Escape the Death Star game with Tarkin, and a single carded Yoda.

UPC: 5010993687213
SKU: 591904753
If you have the Walmart Mobile App, click the icon to scan a barcode, the camera will come up like you're going to take a pic of a barcode - in the upper right corner of the screen there should be an icon that looks like a keyboard - click that and then type in the UPC manually. ;D
-
Thanks Pete. Looks like they're out of stock everywhere near me. :P
-
Got the board game today... Still haven't been able to get a pre-order in for Leia, Bespin Luke, Fett, or Yoda... and Han and Lando haven't shipped yet. But here's Snowspeeder Luke:

I love everything about that figure except the goggles for some reason. Just looks off
-
Wandered into Wally yesterday and found one full set of six. I’m guessing that will be all my local store gets of these. :-\
-
My local Walmart got in the end cap shipper.
By the time I got down there the Fetts were gone. They still had four each of the other five figures.
Yesterday they got a lone case of them.
The Fett was gone by the time I got there. The other five figures remained.
🤬
Corman.
-
My two WM's got on case each and neither made it to the floor. :(
-
I have seen these pop up on Brickseek at 3 different stores in the past week and not a single one of them has made it to the floor.
And I have never seen that damn endcap display. >:(
-
Ha! The early bird catches the worm I guess. Found a case yesterday on a Clorox wipes run.
-
Damn, that's tougher to find than this Retro Collection. I haven't seen disinfecting wipes in stores since a few days before we went to work-from-home.
-
Ha! The early bird catches the worm I guess. Found a case yesterday on a Clorox wipes run.
We were running low and I scored some too last week. Felt like the old days of toy runs where me and the Hot Wheels guys were lined up at opening at Target. Instead of dashing to toys we all dashed to cleaning supplies. Welcome to 2020...
-
We finally managed to find a little hand sanitizer recently... mostly because local distilleries are making it.
Lysol wipes? Forget it.
-
So today I got emails and tracking numbers for Han, Leia, Yoda, and Lando. Fun thing is they are each coming from a different state and as such have different delivery dates with Lando not arriving supposedly until June 19. The foursome were on Walmart.com for a while earlier today. If I had to guess Walmart got solid cases of each figure and have either not gotten Luke and Fett yet or ran out before processing all the preorders.
-
Today I received 8 of 10 that I ordered in the same trasaction. They came in 6 different packages. 2 were bubble mailers. One that came in a perfectly decent box came with a card bent to hell. The bubble from one of the bubble packages was crushed. >:(

Yuck...
I managed to get an order in for Leia and Luke just now... only need to get orders in for Yoda and Fett to be done...
-
Less than a week after the email telling me Fett was backordered it showed up today. Box almost same size as card. A little warp but all things considered I'll take it. Other five are on their way individually as well.

Congrats! Amazing that you actually got the Fett first!

Originally got an order in for five of the six (no Fett of course), and they’ve started shipping individually. First this past Thursday was Lando, who came in a box the same size as the card back and surprisingly arrived just fine. Then today I add my name to the “Wal-Mart horror story” list I’ve been seeing online. Hoth Han showed up in a decent sized box, with no packing at all inside. The card back looks like it was rolled up, then run over by a truck. Leia and Yoda are on tap for this week, we’ll see. Luke for some reason is backordered.
I normally wouldn’t care as much since I’m an opener, but my main reason for picking these up is to get “carded” vintage figures since I likely won’t ever be able to afford actual vintage carded figures. I really wish they would stop giving Wal-Mart exclusives.

Got Yoda and Leia today. Yoda mostly fine. Leia has crease. Bummer but again better than nothing. I love this line.

Finally received the last piece I orderd yesterday, a Hoth Leia. It actually arrived in great shape. But, 8 packages for 10 figures overall was such a waste of shipping costs on Walmart's part.

Did you order them all at the same time? That's ridiculous.

In the case of Walmart (or Amazon), stock might be coming from multiple DC's, even though you place an order for 10 items at the same time. It absolutely comes across as wasteful.
The case where I just cannot understand how shipping doesn't get consolidated is Hasbro Pulse. I ordered a few Black Series figures at once, and almost all of them came in individual shipping boxes. Plus, they all came from the same DC in Pennsylvania.

I did. I agree.

I actually saw these in person the other day when I had to go run an errand (first time at a WM since the pandemic began). They had 4 of the 6, no Yoda or Boba.
-
I found a whole case over the weekend for $5 each! :D

Clearance already? Is Hasbro restricting sale of Retro figures to one month?
Also, we all know they are still making money of them at $5 ea h...
-
This happened because I paid $22 and $31 for Yoda and Fett not 3 days ago.
You’re all welcome.

I don't think these were every on the pegs at my walmart. They hate stocking the star wars section. Someone must be buying the entire stock off the truck in my area.

Wouldn't be surprised. There's a local guy in Minneapolis frequently bragging about his stock of 8+ Fetts and doubles of all the others. ::)

I wasn't going to Walmarts because of Covid, but I did stop at a few on my way to and from our place in Wisconsin last weekend and I didn't see any evidence that Walmart has any Star Wars toys whatsoever. Zilch.

The closest WM to my ex-wife in NC carries zero Star Wars either. And it's the only one within 40 miles.

Walmart doesn't even have peg stickers for the retro line. All I see are lightsabers, skiffs and jabba palaces. The rest of the pegs are always empty. Walmart employees are idiots. I hate the nazi greeter that only lets x number of people in like it's a privilage to shop there.
-
The last few WM trips I've taken, they have maybe 1-2 Black Series (never where they're supposed to be) and a smattering of lightsaber play stuff. I don't get it.

Nazis? Idiots? Seriously, get a grip.

The funny thing is, it IS a privilege to shop there. They're no obligation to let you in if you pose a risk to their employees. People taking issue with the masks and social distancing would hate it where I live, every single establishment i can think of that's open flat out requires one or you don't enter, and there are occupancy limits to prevent crowds.
The best part is, no one makes a stink about it, because it's a minor inconvenience for the common good.

You've never been to the walmarts in my area.

I like ya man, but seriously, they’re toys and you’re calling people doing their jobs idiots and Nazis. We’ve had the counters and lines, and I’ve not seen retro figures in a store either, and it’s just not that big a deal, because they’re just toys and people doing their job deserve a little better than that.

But, what if this guy is the greeter?

I think I'd have to drive my car right at him and force him to jump off a bridge in to the river. I hate Illinois Nazis.

He looks like the creepy doctor neighbor from The Burbs.

Good reason he looks like him then. 🤔

I just got two simultaneous emails from Walmart regarding my Bespin Luke pre-order...

And...

So, they canceled my order while having stock to fill it, which they put up for anyone to buy, which allowed me to put in a new order before it runs out again.
Brilliantly done Walmart.

That is a level of stupid so high it could tear a hole in the spacetime continuum!
