Those of you who ordered the Retro Collection online through Walmart’s website will have to wait “an unknown amount of time” before you see your orders fulfilled. JTA has learned that stock has been delayed because of the pandemic, and it will take some time before Walmart online can fill them. Please note, Retro Collection figures arriving in filled displays at some Walmart stores are part of a separate inventory and not part of the online stock units. It’s suggested to leave your orders in their current pre-ordered status as the expectation remains that they will eventually be filled and shipped out to collectors. Currently, there is no impact on The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary 6″ figures. And the effect on new The Vintage Collection figures remains unknown. We will continue to follow this developing story, and provide updates as they become available. In the meantime, check out the complete wave of The Empire Strikes Back figures RIGHT HERE.

Ever since the release of the Sequel Trilogy, there has been online debate to whom the Chosen One title belongs to in the Star Wars saga, and if it has changed throughout the years. By way of a “happy Birthday!” tweet to Hayden Christensen, StarWars.com appears to confirm it’s still Anakin Skywalker.

We kid you not. The Electronic Battling Jango Fett is probably one of the greatest action figure interpretations of the character ever created. This assertion still holds up well today, almost 20 years later. See why you’ll probably want one for your collection by checking out our Research Droids Reviews today!

The hybrid cardboard playsets might not have been the most popular, but clearing out for $11.99 is not bad for some diorama material, a pack-in figure, and accessories. Currently available at Walmart.com.

I really didn’t want to complain about much of anything Star Wars collecting related, because there is too much going on in the world that’s inimitably more important. But hopefully, this won’t be interpreted more than an important suggestion to prevent the situation from becoming Hasbro’s siren’s song of doom.
The Retro Collection Boba Fett has just begun hitting retail, and the aftermarket on them is hideous. They sold out in split seconds at Walmart. Yet, no one important seems to be paying attention to this at Hasbro. Well, here is your fair warning to get more produced. Hasbro – here is a reality check for you. I hope that you’re producing SOLID CASE PACKS of Boba Fett from the Retro Collection so 3.75″ enthusiasts can buy anywhere from 5-10 case packs of these when they become available through the Fan Channel. Please don’t disappoint us, and please kill the aftermarket now. You’ve made so many mistakes with the 3.75″ line, please heed our advice and don’t let this important decision slip through your fingers too. Thank you!

These won’t last long if you are still looking for them! Most of The Mandalorian wave is available at Walmart.com! If the “Add to Cart” button doesn’t show up for you, make sure to change/update your zip code. Thanks to JTA reader Craig for the alert! Click below for direct links.

The Electronic Battling Obi-Wan Kenobi is a heck of a lot of fun. And it has a fantastic likeness. We wish Hasbro approached the standard 12 Inch Figures line as they did for this novelty line of figures. Even the added electronics are fun here. See more Research Droids Reviews today!
