I'm good with it, because I missed all of it.
I find it ironic that people whined when they took it away, and then whine some more when it's brought back. And the best part is that if it fails, its gone for good, with no chance of new product, dooming us all to pay secondary market prices forever. Fucks sake, I hate action figure collectors. 6 months (20 years) of non stop bitching |

Perhaps I'm just a bit burnt out on the complaining- the 6 inch thread was damned full if it. And for the record, that comment was specifically not aimed at you. There are some people that will not be happy regardless of what is released... and they will of course buy it anyway. Hasbro, it seems, is damned if they do or dont.

Can't people just not want to buy something (they already own) without it being considered whinging? I don't mind them bringing back 0-rings or modern-stye figures? I already own enough of both. It doesn't mean I don't want this retro line to succeed. Hopefully, they do. And this retro line leads to new (ie never released before) figures.

I think most of us would be very happy to see this line pick up where the 50th left off, on the classic card backs.

This shouldn’t be called retro though. The only thing retro about it is if the card art is retro, even that was already done with the 25th. I like these versions except v12 which is the worst modern era sculpt of that character.
Walmart will mis handle this and those of you wanting carded versions will be disappointed when they show up in bubble mailers all mangled like the retro Star Wars did. Or canceled or delayed for the preorders while non preorders ship. Hopefully these will eventually get offered to an e-comm source that knows how to handle them. |

But I can already see the ones that do complain incessantly chiming in, and it'll only get worse once pics are released. You'll see what I mean soon enough. |

When people say my SNES games are retro, I say no they aren't- they're classic or vintage. Modern "8-bit" style games like Shovel Knight are retro. Retro is not vintage, but "vintage inspired" Last edited by Sataninjaku; 07-17-2020 at 01:51 AM.. |

I can't see the HISS in a vintage box unless it goes back to parts build or hasbro widens the box. Same for the AWE.
