    Great thread and pictures. I was able to get a set on Sunday. I went to Target when they opened and there was only 1 set left (?). They were not out on the shelf. Really pleased with them as most of you are. The card are a little flimsy, but everything else looks very good.

        Oh, cool, glad to hear you were able to get a set.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          If they make a bunch of them later on, I can't decide what I'm for excited for- Retro The Empire Strikes Back or Retro Return of the Jedi!

          Must-have list might include-

          Hoth Stormtrooper
          Admiral Ackbar!
          Emperor's Royal Guard

          All Luke, Leia and Han and go from there, plus the ones I never had.

            They could potentially go really deep with these. There's all kinds of unmade characters plus the Droids and Ewoks cartoons. That would be awesome. But realistically I just hope they finish the original 12.

              I think they should make retro collection versions of the last 17 figures. That's about the only way I would ever get them. I collect loose figures. Even the loose ones are ridiculously priced. Couple of years ago I took my daughter to the vintage toy store. I was looking at a loose Luke stormtrooper. He was a $150 at the time. They also had a 50lb container of Lego that i negotiated to $150. I asked my daughter which one she thought was the better deal. One small action figure or 50lbs of Lego. We got the Lego.

                I stopped by a local Target today. They had the Father's Day promotion shelves up in the men's department. You would have to really be looking to notice. On the backside of the shelf were 3 hanger pegs. 1 for the exclusive black series Luke, 1 for the vintage collection Han Stormtrooper, and 1 peg for the Retro collection. The Luke peg had one figure, the Han Stormtrooper had 2 figures, and the lone retro collection was empty. Pretty sad display.

                        That's a great picture. Thank you for posting it. They finally made Tarkin right.

                          Tarkin is really nice and I didn't even think the POTF2 one was all that bad. I quite liked it at the time. This one is way better of course.

                            Tarkin is super-cool!

                            Now, a company needs to use that head so they can make a Van Helsing and a Doctor Frankenstein!

                            An action figure of Peter Cushing wearing a red and black smoking jacket wouldn't be half bad either!

                              I picked up the game with Tarkin today. I haven’t opened it yet, but is he on a card inside the box or loose? Just curious, I imagine I’ll open it eventually.
                              Expectation is the death of discovery.
