Saw Retro wave 2 in Sainsburgeries. Only previously seen them in Asdaland. Hadn't been in a Sainsburgeries since early Jan. No Transformers!

I'm in Sainsbury's every Friday. I'd given up with the toy aisle completely. If they've got wave two I must look for a Han in Hoth opener.

The big Sainsburys and Tescos around me seem to have had the same Transformers in stock since before the pandemic began - which is mostly Cyberverse 1-step changers. I have occasionally seen some of the Star Wars retro figures, though, so it's not like they're not getting any toys in - they're just not trying particularly hard. |

I could be in trouble if they get the Mando ones in.

The stream showed a new 3.75 playset - a corridor from the Tantive IV. Modular like the carbon chamber so you can build loads together. That's exactly what I want for my six inchers! I'm so buying the wrong scale. Yeah, Pinwig. Come to the 3.75 inch scale. The scale of...Retro Mandalorian!!! -Ralph |

And your Retro figures could play in the Tantive IV hallway or Carbon Freezer playset!

No they couldn't. Retro figures are not Vintage collection! That's like saying Earthrise Optimus can pull the G1 trailer and I know full well you'd have no truck with that kind of madness.

Retro IS 3.75 inches! The proper size.
One day I will put them in the Tantive IV hallways.

They're the same size but different lines, different aesthetics. Vintage is the evolution of the original line, homaging what it was - not the original line itself. Moons of Madness, that's like saying Generations is G1!
The Doctor has lost his mind! He is frothing with Tantive anticipation!

Probably for the best. They definitely feel less like toys. With the new face painting technique they do look very impressive for the price though.

The only 6-inch I'll take is a Wampa. It's better when he's big.

You can have a lot of fun with 3.75 inches. You can do more with them.

Nope.
I am very happy sticking to the proper retro figures and my big box of Black Series SW/ESB figures.

But these ARE Retro and Star Wars is not 6-inch! Blasphemy!

How can they be retro when the Mandalorian is no older than my toe nails!
Star Wars can be six inches if it likes... next you'll be saying GI Joe can't be 12 inches!

The proper size for all action others other than MOTU is 3.75 inches!
