the toy biz ones did.
so weird how a company hasbro bought could do something they still cant do. you are just buying their excuses. there's literally no reason why they cant other than "we'll have two different sizes of the same model on toy shelves making two different collectors happy." and for shitbags like paul that buy everything with a star wars logo on it would buy everything still. so. stop believing it. it's a lie. a flat out lie. |

I’m still patiently waiting for the next wave of Retro, hoping for ROTJ. Anyone heard any insider speak rumors?

I actually hope the swing back to finish ANH before they hit RotJ or ESB. My fear is that if they blow through all of their A listers that the line will die off. I know it is probably not likely that we’ll get them all but once they run out of Luke Han and Imperial troop variants I think they kill the line. I’m hoping that if they plan on doing the bulk of the line that they spread out the more popular characters.

I’m pretty sure they said in the last Star Wars Pulse stream that they would talk about Retro in the next stream. It sounded encouraging. It’s up on YouTube so just give it a listen at your leisure.

All 3 of TVC Gaming greats figures arrived today. Scout & Shadow Trooper, and that Battle droid, along with Retro Mando. Used my monthly $5 off coupon.

Mine arrived from GameStop as well. Good thing I am an opener, all were mangled.

I'd be more focused on ball/socket hips rather than butterfly shoulders, personally. That's an articulation upgrade that has been waiting for nearly 40 years. The half-hearted swivel hinge hips are better than nothing, but what's the holdup on Joe-style hips?

They crammed all 3 gaming greats figures in a tiny tiny box, and at the same time sent retro mando alone in a giant box. The 3 got fairly bent.
