    Kenner SW Retro Collection Empire Strikes Back

    First up Hoth board game with Luke Snowspeeder pilot.

    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...

    Figure gives me a "Fisher Price Adventure People" vibe.

      I think it is the opaque visor.

        Nice! I thought it looked like his helmet was removable at first, but I guess that wouldn’t quite be vintage style.

        I know some Jedi figures had removable helmets, but did any ESB figures? I can’t remember any...
        Expectation is the death of discovery.

          I think the rumored single carded figures are Luke Bespin, Han Bespin, Lando, Leia Hoth, Yoda and AT-AT driver.

            Luke looks great but the boots should be the same color as the gloves, not black.

                I dig them. I don't really collect SW much anymore. The last SW toys I bought were the retro collection figures last year. So I am really looking forward to the Empire wave.

                  i got the boardgame with the grand moff figure, my wife wanted the board game, the figure is ok. I thought I'd be really into the whole retro thing but it didn't really resonate with me. I still have my childhood originals and nothing can really top those i guess.

                    I have my old Kenners too. I still really dig these. Not much really tugs on the ol' nostalgia heart strings like Kenner.

                      I'm all in. Hope they do another 6 characters on cards.

                          Yes, I'll be getting these, if I can hopefully find them. Hope they're not exclusive to Target again.

                            Leia Bespin holds more nostalgia for me than Leia Hoth for some reason though. Vinyl Capes are better than everything.

                              Don't think so. The listings are from Walmart's app.
