For wave 2, I don't remember seeing any mention of them being anything other than Walmart exclusive. I doubt there'll be more wave 2 released, they are already talking about wave 3 for 2021.

I weep over that I never got the empire strikes back retro collection. But I just found something about the retro collection that will be even worst than ESB retro collection.




Retro collection involving the Mandalorian.

You mean worst, in that it will be just as hard to get and you really, really want these?

I would hope that because Hasbro has to invest in new tooling for the Mando retro figures that they won't make them a frickin Walmart exclusive this time and instead make them widely available so that they can maximize their ROI.

They should at least pack the Mando figure like 4 per case at a minimum. If they're smart. IF.

Exactly!

From what I heard not too long ago is that they are not Walmart Exclusives and the whole set includes the listed characters.

The Mandalorian
The Child
Cara Dune
IG-11
Greef Karga
Kuiil
Moff Gideon

Well, some good news - Yakface is reporting that they are NOT exclusive to WM this time.
That doesn't mean they won't be exclusive to somewhere else though, hopefully not.

I'm all in for these if we can find them. Would love to just get a preorder in somewhere, as long as it isn't later cancelled.

Star Wars The Mandalorian Retro Collection Revealed!

These look really fun! There's been a little speculation about Moff Gideon having a Darksaber blade in his arm too, which would be a really nice touch.

Hope they're easy to get for all of us!

They went up on Amazon.com and Hasbro Pulse 25 minutes ago. Selling out already...

I preordered through BBTS. Costs $2 more a figure, but now I'm not chasing them. They're supposed to be up at Entertainment Earth, and Dorkside too (if that helps anyone here).

Apparently the Mando Monopoly also comes with a figure no-one mentioned: a retro trooper on a Mando Remnant Stormtrooper card. Thought somebody should have made that more prominent.
