I love: "If it's OT, it's for me". That should definitely be on a shirt. Looking forward to seeing what the upcoming Retro releases might be. I have a feeling it's not OT though. 😢 The Droids & Ewoks display cases with the unreleased prototype figures were amazing 😍 The Sears Die-cast Falcon sealed in the mailer, graded, for $2k! Oof. 😅 I appreciate the updates today Mike. Always tuned in for all the latest News & Rumors!!!
Hey Mopar McNeer, That's funny because I did not script it. If its OT, It's for me! LOL The retros won't be OT, not this year anyway. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you my friend!!!
I believe it will be the Armourer helmet, with that colour scheme.😂 It must just be me but I don't get excited by the Yakface codename reveals, I only get excited by the actual revealscand photos.
i guess retro collection if Attack of the clones is my bet for the figures will be: Jango Fett Clone Trooper Phase 1 Super Battle Droid Anakin Skywalker Count Dooku Have a great Day and an awesome 2024 !
Awesome video Mike. Thanks for the updates and heads up on the new sets coming. I would love to see a vac metal C-3PO figure in the black series as well as R2-D2,R5-D4 and the Death Star Droid as well. But they do have marker/paint sets that are vac metal type ink or paint and I've seen people repairing their C-3PO figure with it and also making TC-14 as well with them and WOW they actually look pretty good. Thanks again Mike for everything. Have a great day my friend and may the force be with you always.
Hey John, some of the action figure customizers do some amazing work and they just don't want to sit around and wait for Hasbro. Appreciate the kind words, Thank you my friend!!!
How about the stone that Grogu sits on from season 2 to telepathically call out to a Jedi to find him, and the Razor Crest gets blown up in that episode.
For those single listing Retro Collection, I'm wondering if some of those could be single releases of some of these box sets and game pack-ins -- C3P0, R2, Mon Mothma, Tarkin, Yak Face, etc plus the Phantom Menace characters. Also I wouldn't be unhappy with we got the Retro Stormtrooper and droids on Empire or Jedi branded cards.
Hey Retro Toy Princess, I would love it if every Retro was sold separately. It would be easier for collectors. The OT in retro always sell better than new media! Thank you my friend!
How in the hell do you have a retro wave for Phantom Menace and not have an Anakin Skywalker figure?!? He's the main thing about the original six films; he and his redemption. They keep shoving that Jar Jar down our throats.
Hey Rogers Jolly, I think the first version of Anakin is a smaller size and the value was most likely put in question. I agree that Anakin would of been find to add to the Phantom Menace 6 pack. Thank you my friend!!!
(Yeah, the little boy Anakin) They made Yoda and the diminutive Grogu in Retro style. They could've added accessories like those figures have. I'm thinking maybe a little Pit Droid or some tools for when he's slaving for Watto. Or better yet, his pod racing helmet. People at Hasbro should just follow message boards or comment sections on RUclips videos before they ever start on a new figure. They don't seem to have much imagination anymore. Keep Up The Good Work! @@UsualmikeTelevision
For the Retro collection list, I think they'll do a wave of Mandalorian season 3 with Pelli Motto, Carson Teva, Paz Viszla, Moff Gideon in Beskar, and Beskar Troopers being possibilities. My other guess would be maybe they'll make a wave of 6 or 7 for the Acolyte, but we'll see.
I just wish they'd do retro versions of all the original figures from the 80s. I'd say they're probably only 15 or so that I didn't get back in the day and I'd love to just fill in those gaps. Particularly for the rare ones like Barada and blue snaggletooth (can't even get the repro version of that anymore).
"Odysseus" could be some of the different clones and Yoda or Obi-wan. Oola should have been a tier for the Rancor, I am glad to see a custom of her made.
for 346, we saw a Miner in the Droids cartoon from the 1980s in the diner that r2 and 3po were working at, with a weird looking visor, could it be one of those helmets? or could it be the girlfriend of Poe in Rise of Skywalkers helmet
Surprised Retro is finding the success it is. Glad it making some collectors happy. TVC offerings have grown so thin it feels like the hunger make people buy anything, ha. I would love to see more TVC versions of the Droids and Ewok lines. I love remixing the retro into the TVC line.
Hey Thomas, I hope we see the Droids and Ewoks make a return even if its characters that were never released. I have heard TVC collectors saying the same as you that when it gets a bit thin on select characters in TVC they buy Retro collection. Appreciate your comments. Thank you my friend!!!
Hey RR_1138, It turns out I made the mistake thinking Oola was 3.75 inch. It turns out to be a 6 inch custom created buy the guy who posted it and his friend! I'll talk about it on an upcoming video!!! Thank you my friend!!!
usualmike, in the story, Odysseus tried to get home with the Argonauts, but had a hard time, they were a skeleton crew? so maybe they are making a retro collection set of figs based on them? they never made a baby leia fig or a kid from bad batch tv show as a figure, so do they have a thing against making kid figures?
Paz Vizsla helmet maybe 🤔 Thanks once again for the speculative reveals! 👌 I'd definitely get a speeder bike in this line. I'd stick IG-11 on it. I wonder if a Bluurg comes out in this line? I'd prefer it in TVC, but I'd snap Hasbro's hand off if they did it in the kiddy line.
Hey Justin, The Paz Vizla helmet makes sense and as for the speeder bikes they will be much cheaper than the TVC versions. A bluurg would be an interesting beat for the line, I hope your right!!! Thank you my friend!!!
I hope the other Retro Waves are OT. It really bugs me that Hasbro can release another line of figures with a speeder bike and Retro can’t get one or any of the easy to produce cardboard playsets or beasts. I’m all for the Retro Collection and like the idea of prequel figures but they have to get out more OT and better quality cardbacks. Another great video Mike!
Hey Milzy, I can speculate that at least one of those waves are OT but they have a few shows in the works for release this year so it could be both for those. The cardbacks updating to thicker stock would be awesome and as for the epic hero line those speeder bikes will work perfect with retro as its the same scale. Thank you my friend!!!
Hi Mike,, as you mentioned in your last video , we don’t have to buy everything and can pick only what we want. Maybe they will do some stuff for the prequels but as long as they keep going with interesting tvc , retro and black series stuff I will see and pick some if I find them fine or nostalgic about them. Lot of stuff to be confirmed soon. Thanks for this episode of the newwwzzzzzzzz ;) take care .
Hey Gil, I hope the figures in the future is what we all want to collect. I think nostalgia is a big selling point. Appreciate the kind words. Thank you my friend!!
Definitely need more retro. Really hoping they eventually give us all of the original figures. They can package new figures, like Mon mothma, with the less popular ones.
Hey Nerd Lifts, I would like to see all 96 figures made in retro as well. There is always plenty of room for unreleased figures!! Thank you my friend!!!
@@UsualmikeTelevision agreed. They can use 2 packs to get through some of the less popular characters, like they did with the bounty hunters. We could get 2 packs of jabbas skiff or ewoks.
Hello Mike thanks for another great video of new Star Wars items coming soon. Not much for me in this video since I only collect black series figures and the very rare black series vehicles. The only black series helmet I've considered buying is the Darth Vader one. I'd only buy Vader's helmet but I still haven't grabbed it and I probably never will. Hopefully black series figures will get some love soon, still waiting for preorders to go up for the destroyer droids and individual Super Battle Droids. Thanks Mike for putting this video together for us I appreciate it. Take care of yourself and your family my friend and I'll catch you in your next video dear sir. Tom
Hey Tom, I hope some day you can get a Darth Vader Helmet for your collection. Always appreciate the kind words and hope in the future I can report on some awesome Black series. Thank you my friend!!!
I really don't see much point in the Phantom Menace retro wave. They look so much like the original 1999 figures, particularly Jar Jar who only had 5 POA to begin with.
Hey Gary, This is true, but those Prequel fans don't want to be left out of retro collection. I hope they cover the entire 96 in retro including the last 17 figures with the coins. Thank you my friend!!!
Sad times, my favourite channel isn’t going to be reviewing all of my favourite line’s releases in the flesh. As much as I like the Retro Collection’s ‘Kenner’ figures, it would be a very dull line if that was all it was (with a couple of never made before figures every few years). It’s not like we haven’t had 40 odd years to know what’s coming! The TV waves keep the line fresh and the Ashoka figures are great 👌
Hey Jason, Only a few more Indiana jones figures to unbox now. The Kenner 96 in the retro will sell to those who still want a carded figure in the style just like it was in the 1980's. The Ashoka figures are great but I have no emotional connection to them. Thank you my friend!!!
I love: "If it's OT, it's for me". That should definitely be on a shirt.
Looking forward to seeing what the upcoming Retro releases might be. I have a feeling it's not OT though. 😢
The Droids & Ewoks display cases with the unreleased prototype figures were amazing 😍
The Sears Die-cast Falcon sealed in the mailer, graded, for $2k! Oof. 😅
I appreciate the updates today Mike. Always tuned in for all the latest News & Rumors!!!
Hey Mopar McNeer, That's funny because I did not script it. If its OT, It's for me! LOL The retros won't be OT, not this year anyway. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you my friend!!!
'Declan" - could that be a reference to Declan Mulholland, the actor who played Jabba who was cut in the original film?
Good call
Hey Kevin, Very good shout! Thank you my friend!!!
I hope it isn't the Jabba Throne Set. That would be a bummer.
I love RETRO and TVC lines, Mike!
God bless you!!

Mike, It's great to see you back hosting the best Star Wars news channel on YT 😊
Thank you DJLOW, always appreciate you my friend!!!
Some great news there Mike! Definitely keen to see what the new Retro figures will be!
Hey Jason, I think we are all keen to know what is in store for retros waves this year! Thank you my friend!!!
Wow.. lots to look forward too. Great upload as always, Nice one. 👍
Thank you 211 in progress!!!
I believe it will be the Armourer helmet, with that colour scheme.😂
It must just be me but I don't get excited by the Yakface codename reveals, I only get excited by the actual revealscand photos.
Hey Emperorvalse, I think the Armourer is a great shout for that helmet! Thank you my friend!!!
Great show as always!
Thank you Magneto!!!
i guess retro collection if Attack of the clones is my bet for the figures will be:
Jango Fett
Clone Trooper Phase 1
Super Battle Droid
Anakin Skywalker
Count Dooku
Have a great Day and an awesome 2024 !
Hey Jorge, I think you have a strong list there which would work well. Thank you my friend!!!
G’Day Mike! Another Great Episode of the News! Thanks so much!
Thank you Collecting Star Wars!!!

Thank you rnblflavas!!!
Another awesome retro figures collection reviews are fantastic has always keep collecting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻usual Mike
Thank you Mark, very kind of you!
That’s impressive! I want Oola to be offered in TVC for real.
Hey Damian, We need the Oola for sure! Thank you my friend!!!
declan means a stone where miracles happen, does that mean a Dagobah playset? they had stones that lifted when Luke used the force
How about the stone that Grogu sits on from season 2 to telepathically call out to a Jedi to find him, and the Razor Crest gets blown up in that episode.
Interesting. Thank you futuramayeah!!!
Top video. Some more Retro OT would be great.
Thank you Darren!!!

Retros are cool, I really hope they continue making them.
Hey Vern, The Retros are alive and well in 2024! Thank you my friend!!!
Happy Days are here again!
Thank you Mace!!!

Hey Foslrock, I think you could be right as mando always gets a good showing in Retro. Thank you my friend!!!
I look forward to what they have in store for the Retro Prequel stuff, Id love to see a jango or even a Grievous. Great video as always! 👍👌👌
Hey 1980s Star Wars Guy, I think a Jango and a Grievous would work great in Retro. Thank you my friend!!!
Imperial Shuttle for the ROTJ playset/vehicle ?
Imperial shuttle for the win. Thank you my friend!!!
alright Mike keep up the great video updates, I collect mostly VC but definitely grabbed all the 40th carded 6 inch SW
Thank you AD, Great pick ups of the 40th anniversary cards!!!
We need another carrying case.
I just wish they'd do retro versions of all the original figures from the 80s. I'd say they're probably only 15 or so that I didn't get back in the day and I'd love to just fill in those gaps. Particularly for the rare ones like Barada and blue snaggletooth (can't even get the repro version of that anymore).
👍👍
Maybe the Armorer helmet.
James 😁
Hey James, That makes sense. Thank you my friend!!!
The Bunker had a code name that started with a B, maybe Declan is Death Star(!)
Dagobah?
Interesting KoolKatDave, Thank you my friend!!!
Maybe an Armorer bucket???
Nice one GForce!!! It makes sense.
In the Vintage wave 17 I hope to see these following characters
-Shin Hati
-Baylan Skoll
-Dagan Gera
-Adult Ezra Bridger (Ahsoka)
That is a great list Alec!! Thank you my friend!!!
Mando helmet.... maybe the Morak helmet?
Hey Kevin, Interesting...Thank you my friend!!!
4:02 Dark Trooper??
That sounds better, Thank you JB!!!
@@UsualmikeTelevision haha, only time will tell right haha
the hasbro team were on youtube and said everyone would have a chance to buy the rest of the ghost crew that didn't make it to the haslab tier thingy
Hey futuramayeah, Those listings that are in the pipeline, your correct that they will be made available for ghost backers. Thank you my friend!!!
I would love some retro collection figures of ep2 attack of the clones that would be awesome
Hey Nathan, I hope you get your wish granted! Thank you my friend!!!
"Odysseus" could be some of the different clones and Yoda or Obi-wan.
Oola should have been a tier for the Rancor, I am glad to see a custom of her made.
Hey Gigashock, I think Oola should of been with the Rancor as well. Interesting take on the code name. Thank you my friend!!!
Helmet will probably be a repainted Fett helmet or Clone trooper one, I'd take a Captain Enoch one though!
Hey Hal, The Captain Enoch would be a cool helmet reveal!!! Thank you my friend!!
Im hoping the helmet is Paz Vizla or the Armorer!
That's a great shout Maclunkey!!! Thank you friend!
for 346, we saw a Miner in the Droids cartoon from the 1980s in the diner that r2 and 3po were working at, with a weird looking visor, could it be one of those helmets? or could it be the girlfriend of Poe in Rise of Skywalkers helmet

OT for Me! 👍😎
Hey Scuba Pete, I still think it should be put on a shirt "OT for Me". Thank you my friend!!!
There's speculation that the new playset for TVC could be Death Star/Imperial hallways. Would definitely be a nice addition to the collection.
Hey Matt, I think that is a very cool idea and I hope the rumour pans out. Thank you my friend!!!
Since TPM is in its 25th anniversary, my guess is wave 2 of the retro collection will be another TPM pack.
Thank you Scopay, That's a great shout!!!
Hoping those codenames make for some awesome figs! -Tommy
I hope so too Tommy. Thank you my friend!!!
Code Name : isn’t that GIJoe 😂 . That box mural is cool 👏🏼 , very difficult to complete. Isn’t that Oola from the Walmart Jabba set
Hey RR_1138, It turns out I made the mistake thinking Oola was 3.75 inch. It turns out to be a 6 inch custom created buy the guy who posted it and his friend! I'll talk about it on an upcoming video!!! Thank you my friend!!!
Think I’ve asked you this before, any news on when TPM Retro box is up for pre order? I’m in London & not seen anything yet. Great video as always.👍
Hey Mark, Not that I know of. Soon as I have info it will be in a news video. Thank you my friend!!!

Got the mandalorian speeder bike, was very disspointed to pay 50 pounds to find out it was just a slug, no way as cool as the Kenner one.
Hey TheNext17, They know how to price them at 50 quid, we have them at $95 Aussie dollars ouch. Thank you my friend!
I think the "Declan" playset is going to be a Jabba the Hutt.
A TVC Jabba has been out for preorder for a while already
Het Trooper, Interesting!!! Thank you my friend!
they need to make retro figures of the last 17 figures!
Hey impossiblepie, I'm with you on that, the last 17 need to be made. Thank you my friend!!!

Hey Cyberrage, I think they were trying not to give out spoilers and accidently (or intentionally) oversaturated us in Obi Wan. Thank you my friend!!
We're still waiting for speeder and swoop bukes for TVC.
