This is great! I assume vintage collectors are going to lose their minds over this - but will it help or hurt the vintage hobby? For me, anything that undermines the inflated price gouging of vintage SW toys is a good thing, but this could go either way really...

I’m going to assume these will very clearly be stamped 2019 so clearly not vintage (I’m not sure what kind of mould changes or inaccuracies there will no too) but I’m hoping they do every single figure including blue Snaggletooth. I’ve had no interest in 3.75” since I sold my originals but for £10 each I’m in for the whole lot of these. I just hope they see it through.

Already pre-order sold out!!??

hmm not exactly what I was expecting. Was kinda hoping more for an expansion on the vintage line (IE: different characters in the vintage style). Not really digging the the faux weathering and big “retro” stickers on the cards also. But im a sucker and Im sure I’ll buy all of these lol

 

[Star-Crunch]

Will definitely pick some of those up

 

[Chakaman]

I am not digging the packaging. These will look good though opened up in a loose display.

I'm getting the full retro set. Bring on more!

 

[Khev]

White minty Kenner Stormtroopers at $9.99 a pop!? Bring 'em on!!!

Hell yeah!

In for the whole line, whether they stop after the first 12 or go all the way to Droids!

A new Desert Skiff

Once again doesn't seem to be open to internationals...not from that link anyway...

 

[Captain Clown]

Only $40 for the skiff is surprising - went ahead and preordered both. I'm concerned they haven't revealed the measurements yet though.

I guess they announced the Barge will be available in other places too? Yakface has an article about it

Wow, awesome news (Sailbarge coming to UK and AUS in march). Not so much for my wallet though.

And this Dorkside toys store - anyone use them, how are they?

Looks like the retro line might have a few surprises

Ive preordered from Dark Side Toys in the U.K. and they’re doing a 10% deposit preorder on them.

I hope those Retro stickers can be removed from the cards.

Yeah, let's cover half the card image with a dumb sticker or whatever

 

[Robianco]

I’ve got a horrible feeling they’re printed on. They’re in the exact same spot on every card. Maybe these are sample card backs as they’re not released until May... so they were printed on these. I just hope that if they do have figures like Tarkin they’re accessible and not just stupid promo things or only available in one store in the US as an exclusive.

 

[Khev]

Supposedly Tarkin comes as a pack-in with the "Escape from the Death Star" board game:

Damn.

Looks like its back to Hasbro 4" for me.

Barge, the whole damn lot.
