 |
|
| Hi all. Wal-Mart got the exclusive contract for Wave 2 of the Retro line. We get ESB cards for Luke (Bespin), Yoda, Boba Fett, Lando, and Han & Leia (Hoth). Plus a Hoth boardgame with an exclusive new Luke Snowspeeder pilot sculpt/card. Gonna try and get two of everything, one to play with and one to save. Leia nad Boba are sold out on pre-order and the boardgame isn't available to pre-order from what I can see. |

Course this prompts inevitable thinking about an ROTJ wave 3, and, hope against hope, a 1985 POTF wave 4.
Forgot to link to anything. Here ya go.

I am kinda sad at the lineup they chose for these. I was seriously just daydreaming about what 6 figures I'd want in such a wave when I pulled into my driveway today. I think it would've been better if they stuck to a format of 4 rebels (with 1 or no costume changes of the Big 3 per wave), the stormtrooper of that particular film, and a Darth Vader replacement such as AT-AT Commander and later, The Emperor. Course in an ROTJ wave, 2 of the rebel slots would need to be given to an ewok and one of Jabba's employees.
Boba Fett is just catnip for scalpers, kind of a bad choice IMO. |

| These are in SOME Wal Marts now. I managed to get 8 of the 12 I need. No Boba Fetts of course. I was hoping if they did an ESB wave they'd leave him out cause only scalpers will win. And so far I am right. He's on eBay for absurd prices. |

| Finally completed my two sets. Boba Fett of course being the hard one to find. Either over-produce him or leave him out of lines, Hasbro! He's just a gift to scalpers. |

I feel all of the nostalgias.
