Second thoughts, they will most probably center around the new movies of which I have no interest.

Interesting times..
Ahhh..... :?
Vintage tarkin perhaps
Will they just be re releases like the 1995 classic 4 pack...but for the whole line
Hasbro getting desperate for cash as the last jedi line was a flop due to the film being pants
Cashing in on nostalgia from adult collectors
Disney aka the starwars milking machine

Sounds like an interesting idea, have to wait and see what this is but retro figures sounds good
I don't know why they didn't do this as subline for TFA.

I can see this will annoy certain collectors. I personally love it!
A minty white Luke, Leia and Stormtrooper that won't cost me hundreds of pounds.
I'm picking myself up a set, and any future sets.

This doesn't annoy me but it doesn't particularly interest me either. It feels a bit like Disney and Hasbro clutching at straws trying to appease the older vintage collectors for the widespread disliking of TLJ. Am I the only one thinking these are basically repro Vintage figures? If they're identical what's to stop people passing them off as loose Vintage in the future. Although to be fair they'll prob be produced in such small numbers that they'll be on eBay for £100 before long anyway. They look ok, just not my cup of tea, I prefer original.

I like the idea because they are official repros. Not lining the pockets of cunts. And that these figures became more affordable to people on tight budgets, who otherwise wouldn't be able to enjoy them (Like a minty white Luke or Leia). They won't fool anybody (the leg stamp alone would make sure of it) but they will look great on display.
But you are probably right. Give it time, and they'll be selling on eBay for £100 each.
Imagine if they released a VC Jawa! Now that would be a storm amongst collectors.

Target preorders have sold out.
Can appreciate why they won't be everyone's cup of tea, but nothing to get too upset about. It really can't be healthy to lose sight of the fact that vintage Star Wars figures are ultimately lumps of plastic, as much as I love em!
The packaging, figures and accessories from this new line will all be different enough from the originals. They're prob churning out the same figs as from 90s classic pack, and that didn't kill the hobby either.
I don't collect mocs, mainly because I cant really justify the cost. These look cool to me and a nice little (affordable) trip down memory lane.

I assume the date stamp on them will say 2019 ? Hopefully
What about the weapons ? If they are identical to the old ones that's going to be another lot of repro flooding the market.
