Kenner SW Retro Collection Empire Strikes Back

[Klosterheim]

The Empire Strikes Back Retro figures are amazing.

Except, I don't like their Snowspeeder Pilot Luke.

Boba Fett is the main one I'm paying attention to.

I guess they selected the main and popular characters. Would have liked to have seen the droids since they didn't do any the first time around. I don't like the looks of the Luke snowspeeder pilot. The bigger turnoff for me is how terrible the distribution was the first time around. Checking inventory online, calling because that was wrong, visiting Targets too often to admit. I was lucky to come out with a set. And to be honest, they are disappointing. They look cheaper than toys made 40 years ago if that is possible. I am more interested in the set of 13 unproduced figures (and repros) from the fans strike back. Couldn't post that on a Star Wars site since that is blasphemy. Haven't bought any yet, but saw some of their stuff in Ohio couple weeks ago.

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

Oh, that would be wonderful... does that mean we could just order them online and be done? I'm not about the hunting anymore.

Hope they're not exclusive to Target again.

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

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

[Hedji]

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

Single carded retro collection. Luke Bespin, Han Hoth, Leia Hoth, Yoda, Lando and Boba Fett

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

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

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.

[Werewolf]

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.

[Brown Bear]

Love the idea

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

[Werewolf]

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

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...
