The above retro wave has sold through and restocked several times in some areas.
For the first time in recent memory, I’m seeing a Star Wars Hasbro wave consistently selling and then getting restocked… and selling again. Are you experiencing this in your area? And how far down the Retro Collection rabbit hole do you want to see Hasbro go?
Personal Note: I’m still just lukewarm to the Retro line. It’s a novelty to me, and I pick and choose a few figures here and there. My preference is for the standard TVC line (though I would be interested in a mid-tier line that has modern sculpts, with 10-12 pts of articulation, and a lot more variety than what is offered today). However if the Retro line continues to gain momentum, it’s hard to see Hasbro deviating from this approach anytime soon.
