Star Wars: Celebrate the Saga to Retire 5POA?

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, August 23, 2020

Hasbro's Celebrate the Saga collection includes 8 packs.  4 are main line, 2 are for Amazon exclusives, and 2 are Best Buy exclusives.  The pitch I heard was each set has 5-jointed figures and is the last hurrah for the format - at least for now - with 4-5 figures brought back and 0-1 redeco droids.  It looks like they may have enhanced face paint, but it's hard to tell from the photos and I did not hear about it previously.  Each set is due this fall for about $29.99.  Click here to order at affiliate/advertiser Amazon, or click here to order at Entertainment Earth.    Hasbro's marketing copy says:

Adam adds: R7-A7 is new here.  However, Disney offered one in its build-a-droid bins at theme parks and Hasbro previously made an animated-style version in its The Clone Wars line nearly 10 years ago.  Everybody else was previously offered in Saga Legends or Mission Series sets.

Everybody else was previously offered in Saga Legends or Mission Series sets.

Includes 5 figures and 5 accessories.

Adam adds: R5-P8 makes his Hasbro debut here, but Disney had this in a 4-pack of astromechs a few years ago.  If you missed it, note that this one lacks the gun on top of the dome. Everybody else was previously offered in Saga Legends or Mission Series sets.
