I'm waiting for these to be marked down like all the other waves. I dig this line, but I'm waiting for clearance because the fuckers are overpriced to begin with.

So what if the skin color is a dark tan color for Retro Jedi Knight Luke.
Dont be so frikkin picky about it. Be grateful that Hasbro is pretty much re-releasing the classics where you dont have to spend a hundred bucks or more on the old original Kenner stuff. Have you seen the prices for the old Kenner figures on Brians Toys and Ebayt? the figures are up to a thousand bucks. Hasbro should be grateful that a 48 year old man is buying anything that they make.

Glad to get a realistic appraisal of them. Thanks! Collectors are far too serious about this stuff and overly picky as a result. I tend to not pay attention to what most nerds say about stuff because negativity seems to be the default mode now and nothing is ever good enough.
I know you said that you were collecting these. 5/6 will look just fine in your shelf. Luke is best used for replacement gear.

Good grief why do they crush a figure like that and think a buyer is going to be ok with it. I know the answer just still boggles my mind. My Klattooine raider came today and Amazon has stuffed it into a bubble mailer without the bubbles. It was crushed all to heck and I?m glad I got it for a diorama and was not keeping it in package.

When I order from Amazon, Walmart or Target, I only expect the figure inside to arrive intact. I've seen them destroy the cardback so hard, the figures popped off the card out of the box. But the figures were still preserved all the time so far, which is hilarious. With the recent Hasbro stuff, I'm disappointed I can't even rely on that anymore but I won't broken record spam about that.

This is why Hasbro needs to give me access to these retro figures and the O ring Joe figures. I have only seen the D+ retros on their wholesale site. I?d be serving up mint cards all around, and at a discount.
