likely all together, Mando Mondays seem to rotate in various product lines, such as LEGO and Funko stuff among others.
Fun choices overall. I realized my list had the guard but no emperor.
No go on solids of stormtrooper, I think we still have some singles but I'm certain we would not have more than 50 or so on hand. Hasbro had about 4000 units across all characters in July, and we bought all of them. Still got about 1000 Darth Vader in stock and a few hundred sets.
How about Wave 2 sets?
There's no word on Wave 2 yet as they're still a Walmart exclusive. Whenever Walmart pulls them off their planogram and indicates that they're done with them, then Hasbro will most likely open them up to fan channel. We already had discussion with Hasbro about them several times this year.
I will likely come visit you guys sometime after the plague ends, you seem very friendly.
Thank you for answering my question without me even contacting you.
Yes, well except for Bobasaurus Fett. I've heard rumors at one point in history he did exist.
Yea, I am going to ebay for that one.... have no other choice.
Bought:
Yes, all of them, even got 2 sets of wave 1 from EE when it was easy to find and/or order retro figures
Not quite. I skipped Leia and the Stormtrooper when I had wave one all in hand (why I left the Stormtrooper I'll never fathom). I have all of wave two except Yoda, which I'm still hoping to pick up in store (but may have to resort to eBay for).
I've bought Darth Vader, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker from Wave 1 & Yoda and 2 Boba Fetts from Wave 2.
Grand Moff Tarkin so you could play the game over and over?
Three of almost all. I only have two Tarkins and two Fetts. But I bought FOUR(!) Hoth Han, Hoth Leia, Yoda, Lando, Bespin Luke, and Stormtrooper. This series (and its Micro Collection equivalent) is all I've ever wanted them to make.
Whew
going to have to pick up a handful of those on Black Friday for customs then.This is such a beautiful photo,,, almost seems like it goes back 40 years lol....Three of almost all. I only have two Tarkins and two Fetts. But I bought FOUR(!) Hoth Han, Hoth Leia, Yoda, Lando, Bespin Luke, and Stormtrooper. This series (and its Micro Collection equivalent) is all I've ever wanted them to make.
Yes, I wouldnt mind a few more myself, of this one, I only have one....Whew
One to open. One to display. And one just in case. Plus extras for gifts or troop builders.
I like your plans....
holy cow!
The stickers don't really bother me. Granted, I prefer seeing the original cardbacks without the offers. And when I tried to do a "TVC" Boba Fett focus collection I aimed to get the Canadian set before looking for the rest. But when it comes to Hasbro... My issue with them is that they missed their chance to just reboot TVC and call it "The Kenner Collection". With means of both doing a new numbering system and turning these into "chase variants" (as a means of seeing if there is any demand). But since they didn't nothing they do these days surprises me one bit.
they won’t be out this year.I think Retro figs from the Mandalorian is cool idea. I love the show, but am pulling WAYYYYYY back on my collecting. Really doing a Retro focus and the show has a great retro vibe. Despite the age/era difference, the two would meld together to create some amazing toys. So yes — I will definitely be into these figures when they come to pass.
I’d also love to see the Original Trilogy of the Original Trilogy rendered in vintage style versions of their older — yes, sequel — selves... And this could pave the way for that.
I bet this Mandalorian wave hits stores even sooner than we think. The sold-out success of first six figures was long before the show became a huge hit... so plenty of time for these to have secretly been in the works to hit in time for Christmas. Although, Hasbro rarely strikes when the iron is hot.
