Vintage Sales – Early Impressions

Hasbro has indicated time and again that the vintage push is going to pull collectors back into the mix that they feel abandoned them recently.

Now that many of us have had a few weeks to take in the new product and gather our own impressions, how is the line doing so far at retail? Does it look like it’s going to be a success? Or has Hasbro missed the boat?

Share your thoughts after the jump!
