ANH Retro Collection Pack 2

[GNT]

Since a few people have asked, here's the thread to discuss the 2nd Retro "ANH 6 pack" figure pack which will contain Vac Metal C-3PO, R2-D2, Ben Kenobi, Death Squad Commander, Jawa and a Tusken Raider.






Will you be purchasing this retro 6 pack?

 

[Booster Terrik]

Love the dedicated Retro threads. Thx GNT

 

[MARK2D2]

Very excited about this release!!

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

I am getting one for sure. I hope that the price is only for this set due to the vac-metal on the droids.

I think it is.

 

[StarFin]

I'll be getting one. Wish they would release these individually instead of a box set.

 

[DarthMickeyMoose]

I think it is.

I don't think so. It has never made a difference before in all the Vac Metal C3po's and R2's that have been made over the years.

they havent done vac metal for a long time!

Yeah, the older figures were mainly painted. I don’t remember the Vac metal process being used during the POTF2 era.

 

[Booster Terrik]

My only complaints are the price hike and that the Jawa doesn't have a vinyl cape.

 

[tanksmasher]

Magnificent set. I really want four of those 3POs.

 

[Nippet]

Any idea when this will be released?

There are lots of Vac-metal C3po's and R2's starting when the line relaunched in 1995 and for years after. Check out the Rebelscum picture archives.

Spring 2023 is what Hasbro has been saying

 

[Darth_V4der]

I'd be shocked if this doesn't sell out fast.

 

[Booster Terrik]

I agree. The first set I can see not selling out as most folks already had the figures. This time around, the box set is the premier of the figs, so should go quick. I just hope I can get one.

 

[Booster Terrik]

Maybe one of the fan channel sites like EE or BBTS could do a vinyl cape Jawa exclusive. <hint><hint><nudge><nudge>

Yes! Sign me up for that too. Since there is no confusing these with the original releases, it's a great opportunity to put some of those rare ones out there.

Yeah, I completely forgot about that.

 

[Tyranusspotting]

I think one of the last vac-metalized figures might have been Ewok-Throne C-3PO, which would still be re-released as a pack-in figure in several battle-packs until at least 2012. Same with the 2004 TVC R2-D2.

 

[yodashizzle]

Nice looking multipack, I expect it will be popular with the inclusion of the droids and the fact that the whole lineup looks great and is new to the retro releases.

 

[Darth_Herzog]

I love this set so much.

 

[AaylaSecurasMan]

I love this set so much.

I will hold this thought until I have it in hand

 

[Darth_Herzog]

IN CONCEPT... I love this set so much.

 

[Kneel_Before_Zod]

$16 each. Them’s TVC prices for 5 POA figures. What a joke.

Keep in mind that this is probably the only way these will be offered.

 

[Walrus_Man]

I got one from Stan Solo for only £14.

He gets NOTHING from me - ever.

 

[stealthboy]

He gets NOTHING from me - ever.

That is absolutely your prerogative. But you are missing out on some exceptional retro figures!

Hasbro Retro + Stan Solo have reignited my passion for vintage collecting.

 

[JediMarty]

This set will be awesome! I'll pick up a couple of them, but I hope they release the Jawa individually as well.

 

[Wtrailer]

These look amazing!

 

[Darth_Herzog]

Getting two sets.

Mint copies of all these figures would run me FAR more than that to track down with genuine accessories that aren't old and discolored and damaged and used by some dumb kid in 1978.

Nonetheless, I really, really wish they could have kept these at the $10 price point, because I would be able to get so many more.

 

[Tulgah]

Somehow, I’ve ended up with every Retro release yet, so I’m going to keep the streak going! At first, I was a bit wary of the price, but I can’t pass this up!

 

[DarthChristopher]

Any word when preorders begin? Also, too bad Hasbro went with the worn, damaged card look when this line began. I don’t think they are doing that with their other retro lines. Oh well, gotta keep the look consistent at this point I guess.

 

[sith_rising]

I just want the Death Squad Commander, hopefully some people on Ebay will be breaking these up.

 

[Force Strong]

Is this box set planned to be a Target or any other retailer exclusive? I love it and most likely will try to get two.

The presentation slide from SDCC said Shop Disney and Pulse (same as the previous one).

 

[Force Strong]

Thank you Booster Terrik!

 

[jedimasterc]

So these have not gone up for pre order yet.

Correct. Crickets on this one since SDCC.
