Don’t need em but since I’m getting the guards I may throw a couple pigs in.

I did the same as well. I saw the report on the slight differences between the other two releases of this figure and generally it's not enough for me to care, but I'm going to want a couple to put on Jabba's Sail Barge, so I figured "why not?" when I put in my order for the 3-pack.

Out of all the retro stuff, this is the one item I might pick up since it's a character that was never done before in the original Kenner line (and as a kid, I always wondered why).

I loved this game - it made regular appearances during family game night growing up.

The Skiff Guards 3-pack can be pre-ordered from EE and Dorkside right now, so I don't think it's a WalMart exclusive - maybe an exclusive to Walmart in that it won't be showing up at Target?

I'm hoping the Jabba's palace set is also easy to preorder and not haunt WalMarts for.

Why did they give WalMart more exclusives after how badly they handled the Rey and Mimban Stormtrooper AND the Black Series before TVC came back?!?!?!

Leia blasters can go for up to $100 now, so yeah if these retro weapons are hard to distinguish from legit vintage, you can bet there will be a lot of buying in bulk by unscrupulous dealers

Anywhere that I can see a pic of what Leia's blasters look like - I have a plastic bin that is loaded with vintage figure weapons - maybe if I find an extra of that figure's gun I can score some fast money to pay for some new stuff I want!

I'd like to hear about more Resistance toys.  Said no one. Ever.

 ;D


I am less than thrilled about these "Retro" figures on printed-weathered cardbacks. I get that that they did that to make it obvious, but I think the "retro collection" emblem (which could have been part of the printing, not a sticker) would have sufficed.

Would have much rather seen them want to re-do the original 12 to modern/current standards and then announce that they have plans on modernizing another 12 Kenner figures that have either never been released on modern Vintage cardbacks or even released in the modern line (like Sim Aloo)

I placed an order for my squad of Scarif Troopers and I just tried to pre-order the other three, but Leia was pre-sold-out before I could complete my order, so I just abandoned the purchase - I'm not worried about the other two, just Leia since she's only 1-per-case (for some stupid reason)

I was finally able to order some the other day and I got my shipment yesterday (Thursday). Luckily, none of them arrived with the bubbles off the cardback and with the exception of one, all were in pretty good shape. Glad to have this out of the way finally.

There is one positive to having the Lando in Skiff Guard disguise out there - gives them a good base body to also release Beckett wearing pretty much the same outfit from Solo.

EE is now taking pre-orders for this playset for $39.99.

Not sure what that means for it showing up at Walmart retail stores, but at least it's another option if you're desperate for this set.

Here's hoping that this means there's still a chance that EE will get the Vintage Collection Mimban Stormtrooper.

For some reason the Resistance toys are tagged with a hard lockout street date of 1/15, from speaking with a friend who is a Target employee, it is the same kind of sale lock-out that they use for CDs and DVD/BluRays - those are always locked out until the Tuesday of the release.

For these toys though? Beyond stupid.

Star Wars Resistance / Re: Star Wars Resistance 3.75" Figure 2-Packs

I found them out at my local store, knew about the block ahead of time. Tried to buy them, but was denied. Didn't make a stink or nothing, will have no problem finding these come this Tuesday...

Using Jayson's SKU and Brickseek, I finally saw inventory progress this morning when I woke up so I hit a WalMart on the way into work and was pleasantly surprised to see an entire case on the pegs.

Found WAVE 2 this morning in addition to finding a complete case of Resistance Wave 1 figures - they were sitting on the shelf in this little display case that I'm sure was packed with the wave. Since I bought all of the Wave 2 tubes leaving just 2x of Vader and 2x Chewie, when I went to the self-checkout, I asked the attendant if I could have it and since it was Walmart, she didn't care, so now I have a nice little display for my MIP Galaxy of Adventure figures.  ;D

LEGO / Re: Recent Acquisitions

Went into my local Target today hoping to find the Batman/Metalbeard Lego Movie 2 set, but instead was greeted by a handful of the new 2019 sets instead:

Sith Infiltrator Microfighter
Naboo Starfighter Microfighter
Escape Pod vs. Dewback Microfighter 2-pack
Juniors A-Wing
Droid Gunship
Inferno Squad Battlepack
Death Star Escape

Not a bad haul - basically if they had the two other Juniors sets, Praetorian Guards Battle Pack and the new version of the AT-AP, I would have been able to make a clean sweep...

All four are currently available on shop@home, so I might just put an order in on them and throw in that Batman set I was looking for in the first place.  :-\

Got my Reys in the mail yesterday.  Really nice figure!  I wish she came with the staff and an unlit saber hilt so I could have her offer it to Luke.

I got mine as well. I agree that she's a nice figure. I picked up a clearance Rey/Guard 2-pack from the TLJ line for the Guard so I grabbed the staff off of that figure since I have that figure displayed with the ridiculous shoulder canon accessory the 2-pack came with.
