We’ve received and read multiple reports of collectors getting cancellation notifications for some or all of their orders for the upcoming second wave of Walmart Exclusive Retro Collection figures due to being unable to meet the demand of the items.
Thanks to Javier for sending the report.
On this episode we discuss the latest reveals from Hasbro’s Star Wars line at the 2020 New York Toy Fair. We give our thoughts on new figures from The Black Series, The Vintage Collection, Retro Collection, Galaxy of Adventure and more. We are once again joined by Jayson from Yakface.com. Give a listen, there is a lot to talk about.
Here are the preorder links I managed to find for the new Retro Collection Figures. Enjoy.
Bespin Luke
Hoth Han Solo
Hoth Leia

I also managed to visually “confirm” our previous rumor of the upcoming Wave 2 for Hasbro’s Retro Collection assortment consisting of Lando Calrissian, Bespin Luke, Boba Fett, Yoda, Hoth Han Solo and Hoth Leia Organa. Look for official confirmation tomorrow at Toy Fair.
Hasbro has released images for the previously rumored Hoth Ice Planet Adventure Game and it confirms that it includes a new Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder Pilot) figure! Click on through for the images.

There has been a rumored list floating around for a while, but today I managed to find actual names and links (via the Walmart app) for figures in the Retro Collection for The Empire Strikes Back. Expect an official announcement probably at Toy Fair next month.
Some hunting with the Walmart app this morning has yielded two listings for the Retro Collection products for The Empire Strikes Back. A couple weeks ago, we also reported that we’d be seeing another game for the line, similar to the Escape Death Star with Grand Moff Tarkin, this one being the Hoth Ice Planet game. The other listing is for the next assortment of 6 figures.
It been a bit since we’ve heard about anything new for the Retro Collection. Hasbro has stated that it was very successful and more product is planned for 2020. Some sleuthing has uncovered word that there is a new/old Hoth Ice Planet Adventure Game coming soon. No word yet as to what figure it may (or may not) include.
Although today was stated by Target’s corporate site as the release date for the Retro Collection Prototype Darth Vader, most stores have not received any of these figures. Fortunately a check this morning via the Target website at a store in Ocean, NJ yielded 34 of them. Some were set in the Funko section and two pegs worth in the Star Wars section. Best of luck to those on the hunt and thanks to Jonathan R. for the hook up.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth will be taking orders at 9am PT for Hasbro’s Retro Collection of figures which includes Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Stormtrooper, and Luke Skywalker. If you missed out on these through Target, now is your chance to secure them. We will update this post later with the direct product links.
