Hasbro should have just called it GI Joe: The Vintage Collection since there's already a precedent for what this line has the potential to become. Calling it "Retro", and they did call it that on the Live Stream, when the Star Wars "Retro" are vintage repros only confuses the market.
That would have made things clearer, agreed.

I'm hoping this reaps big rewards. I really want all of the vehicles and am happy to take 25th line versions.

At least wait and see it BBTS lists them, then you have a price to set. Or calculate what Robokingdom wants for shipping and see if it's cheaper than the scalpers prices.

Yeah, lol. I wanted O ring but also have wanted this for some time. Happy to have modern figs on vintage card and the vehicles, but here is no point debating "retro" any longer. My O ring collection is safe. I can always hit up beggarscanyon if I want them carded.

Like someone said, because-nerds.

Yeah, there are a fair amount of female parts in the modern ear drawers but I'm not sure that many of them fit with each other. I think Scarlett will get the most new tooled, if not all new tooled figure. Destro is good to go as is. Roadblock will only need the TF Club version repainted. Any other vehicles mentioned in wave 2? That's what i want to know.

I know. That kills me! The original SW figures didn't have inner trays, so even without the fake weathering on the cards anyone could tell the difference. No one was going to get scammed there.
