Those who ordered the Retro Collection Hoth Ice Planet Game from Walmart.com should expect to see delivery of their items any day now. Corey Y. shares this image of his acquisition complete with the Retro Collection Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder) figure.
While I can’t go into specifics yet, it looks like there will be a few more exclusives revealed soon for the Black Series and TVC lines. Of the 5 I’ve confirmed, they are all reissues/repaints – *one of which has been long requested – and there are possibly 2 more that may fit in well with a certain anniversary line of product out right now*. That all being said, it will be interesting to see how they are distributed considering the closure of large venues right now.
More details as we can provide them.
UPDATE: *Han in Carbonite and **this was 4-LOM and Zuckuss
