Forgive me if this topic has already been brought up for discussion. I think most are aware of the recently released SW Retro vintage line and there appears to be significant interest in it. The main argument against it comes from collectors who fear it will take hasbro's focus away from the modern vintage line (TVC) . I personally love the retro line and think it can coexist with TVC.
I was thinking that hasbro could do the same with GI Joe, and reissue vintage o-ring joes on retro cardbacks as well as re-release some vehicles using retro style packaging.
How many of you would be interested in such a line? Would you be worried that support for a retro line could interfere with a return of ME figures?
Hell yes!
I agree that the lines can co exist and as a 4” Star Wars collector look forward to Following both lines.
I’d only request that , like the Star Wars vintage line, no changes be made to any of the figures like we have seen in past “reissues.” Changes to Gentle Giant’s Bespin Han is what kicked me out of collecting the Jumbo line. If it’s not legit vintage you loose the nostalgia.
My other requests would be-,
Make them more readily available. I have yet to acquire any of the Star Wars retro figures save Tarkin.
Keep the waves of figures exact to the vintage releases. Don’t do what the 25th line did and run through all the popular figures early on. 82, then 83, etc.
Please no weathering on the card art. I’m not a fan and doubt anyone is. Also please include the gear listed down the right side of the of the bubble. I used to love reading the proper name for the weapons on the card before opening them.
Please do the vehicles. I’m up in the air about drivers being sold with or separately. If sold separately please do the drivers on a card back of cropped out box art. Don’t try to create new card art. I did appreciate the fixes on the 25th vehicles. Keep the 25th upgrades.
Please do a WHALE in wave 3. And crowd fund a FLAGG Haslab style.
Do weapons packs accordingly.
As long as sales warrant the line continue please at least do 82-86.
Do them right, make them readily available and I’ll buy them all in triplicate. I’d wager most of us will.
Slainte!
