For Star Wars collectors 2019 was a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good included the most detailed Star Wars vehicle/playset ever in the form of Jabba’s Sail Barge. Plus the Black Series 6-inch line continued strong with great offerings from Clone Wars Armor Obi-Wan Kenobi to The Mandalorian, plus several Rise of Skywalker figures.
Mixed in with that was some bad: The limited-articulation 3.75″ line that had been a mainstay for years was cancelled. The Vintage Collection filled that niche, but lacked in new figures and in-store availability. The new 5-inch Galaxy of Adventures line didn’t click with many collectors.
Then in the ugly was the limited availability of Retro Collection figures at Target–especially the multi-colored Darth Vader. And what, no Baby Yoda toys?
In this new Star Wars Action News podcast the team comes together to reflect on what the last year brought–and what they hope the new year can deliver!
