Target Cycling Retro Collection 6-Pack In and Out of Stock

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, June 6, 2025

That which plagues your dreams and makes you cry out in the night may be in stock! The Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack has been going in and out of stock (for shipping) all week long, usually around midnight Pacific.

It's also been going in and out for local in-store pick-up, so make it a point to obsessively reload this link and click "check other stores" to see if you should bother putting on pants and leaving the house today. Normally I'd say "no," but for Kenner figures, I'll find some pants.

If you're over 40 I would recommend picking up one or two of this set. Or three. In 2025, Hasbro is making the figures I was dreaming we would get for the 1995 relaunch. They may not be the exact perfect things we wanted, but they're pretty close and the price (while not cheap) seems fair.

I got the set, and I've opened five of the six figures so far. I don't know when the next set is coming out so I don't want to blow through them. I'm working on Figure of the Day reviews, too. So what do I think? Well, I'll tell you what I think.

Target Cancels Pre-Orders for The Retro Collection Set

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, May 9, 2025

After missing the April 27 date, the May 4 date, and then just asking for fans to approve a delay this week, Target decided just to cancel all pre-orders for the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack.

Presumably the item will still come out at some point, but apparently  you're going to have to hunt it now.  Target stores put out shelf tags for it last week, so it's presently unknown what caused all pre-orders to be canceled.  The original date for the item was April 27, then May 4, and just this week fans were asked to approve an order delay until May 20.  I suppose that means May 20 was not the real date.

Target's Star Wars: The Retro Collection Set Delayed Until (At Least) May 20

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 6, 2025

If you ordered the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack from Target - with Dr. Evazan, Walrus Man, Stormtrooper Han Solo, and the rest - you need to check your order and approve a delay. The item was due April 27, but now has an ETA of May 20. If you do not approve the delay, there's a chance your pre-order will be canceled.

Target: New Star Wars Hasbro Exclusives Showing Up, but Retro A-No-No

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, April 27, 2025

From the look of reports, online inventory, and lack of order processing, Target's exclusive Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack with the Sandtrooper and Dr. Evazan did not make it out on the release date today. Other Hasbro The Black Series exclusives like the Andor Range Trooper and the reissue Rogue One Jedha Stormtrooper are reportedly in stock around the country, so happy hunting on those two today.

Where does that leave the retro set?  Updated 4/28.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, September 19, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection).Boba Fett returned from the dead a few times, and this one is based on Dark Empire from 1991-1992. If you pre-ordered it, you likely paid $2 more than it costs in the store right now - which is a lot - but it is a pretty nice figure. Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 13, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Kenner Flavor, The Vintage Collection). I haven't seen one of these in stores for about a month, but I did find mine on-shelf before any shipped online - and other than the price, it's a pretty good figure. The colors aren't a perfect match, but I like someone nodding to Kenner yet again. Read on!

Found: Target Exclusive Star Wars The Retro Collection The Mandalorian Action Figures

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 6, 2023

Surprise! Hasbro's Kenner's The Retro Collection The Mandalorian (Prototype) figures are showing up in Phoenix, AZ for $14.99 each. (I found them, so it's a legit sighting.) Take care to examine both sides of the rifle for stress marks before making a purchase.   The figure has a gray cape and Kenner blue blasts, so it might be of interest to customizers and open toy collectors just for that.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,003: Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder, Prototype Edition - Purple Head, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 14, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder, Prototype Edition - Purple Head, The Retro Collection). If you don't remember getting one in 1982, that's because it's based on a 2020 release that came with a board game.  It's pretty good - I particularly like the fact it comes with a new color of Kenner lightsaber! Well, some of them do - depending on which variant you get. I hear this delayed figure is alrady being marked down at select Targets, so happy hunting. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,984: Koska Reeves (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 8, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Koska Reeves (The Vintage Collection). As a repaint with a new head, she's kind of fantastic - articulation is good, paint is good, accessories are what they should be. I have no real complaints here. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,968: Boba Fett (Morak, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 13, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It's hanging around here, and you can probably find this Target exclusive just by going to the store. I don't doubt the upcharge to $20.99 helps keep them around, but it is a fairly nice figure despite the price. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,940: See-Threepio (C-3PO, Droids, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 7, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C-3PO (Droids, The Vintage Collection). It's an exclusive and it's got a coin! This figure is much shorter than the 1985 original, but the colors are excellent and he has removable panels... with some gaps you can see through at some angles. Obviously, I like it. Collect all 3! Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,938: Boba Fett (Droids, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 30, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Droids, The Vintage Collection). It's an exclusive and it's got a coin! It's nicely articulated and since the old 1980s Droids Boba Fett wasn't in cartoon colors, this is more than a little bit of a welcome addition to a tiny sub-line. Collect all 3! Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 19, 2021

How prototypical! Target's exclusive Stormtrooper (Prototype Edition - Yellow Head, The Retro Collection) is another neat one. It's a multicolor release of a remake of a figure from 1978 - and it's neat! There are six flavors to track down if you dare. Read on!
