^This. They have a plan, and revealing the Retro line at this time was not part of it. They know that we know, they selected a question about it, and they told us they can't say anything...yet. As others have predicted, there may be an exclusive deal regarding the reveal, or maybe Wal-Mart just doesn't want the info out there yet. I have been patient for over 3 months (15 years if these are O ring, 4 if these are ME), I can wait a bit longer.

I wonder what the general consensus (if there is one) on Hisstank is. I think the Arctic Storm Shadow and the Regal Cobra Commander exclusive was enough of a bone to make it a satisfying reveal. That and the fact we KNOW we are getting an Alley Viper and Baroness in Wave 2 made it a good enough day for those of us who collect 6 inch.
I can understand why there was no mention of retro if they have some kind of a deal with Wal-mart, but they needed to have some more reveals, like Baroness.

I would have preferred they show a little love to the Retro line in the Live Stream.

I was bummed not hearing anything about retro too. Since SDCC is not in person this year will Hasbro do a virtual panel or another Hasbro Pulse Reveal that will announce the Retro line? I think that might make more sense. AS someone said Hasbro knows we know given the Walmart web pages found back in March and the Shipping manifest/BOL for US and Canada.

I think what really upset me was the general tone in which the non answer was delivered. I get that they are the design team for the 6 inch line and knowing this, I am sure they do not want any distractions from their 6 inch product reveals but it would have been nice to have the heads up that the Hasbro Fan Friday was for 6 inch collectors...3 and 3/4 crowd need not apply. Will the Retro line or any other 3 and 3/4 line from Hasbro be showcased with such enthusiasm? Judging from the change in tone (which was very apparent) from the presenters, I have little faith in that. It is enough to have new (or as the case most likely will be repackaged) 3 and 3/4 figures, but I for one don't like the general attitude toward the 3 and 3/4 collectors. It has happened before with the Hasbro Marvel Universe line, then the Hasbro Star Wars line, and I fear the GIJOE line. As I have said, I have nothing against the 6 inch fans and I am happy for them. I merely choose not to collect that scale. I instead will save up and show my support for the 3 and 3/4 line with my wallet in hopes that Hasbro will recognize that there is a market for both scales. I plan to purchase the retro figures even if they are reproduced 25th figures (just so long as they are not 5 POA reaction style or bend-em figures as this thread has joked about) but it would be nice of the company and marketing division to hype this up a bit-who knows, perhaps they will. Or even if they dropped a few photos of what we can expect and perhaps go as far as to indicate when....as it seems to be soon.

Collectors have sold collections to BBTS in the past but would they really have preorders for it? Also they have more than 24 available. I ordered one because I sold off my first old one and was hoping to replace it anyway. Great find man!

It’s funny when I first clicked on it I thought to myself, Yeah I saw that 13 years ago! Then I realized the arrival date.
