If you’ve been chasing the Star Wars Retro Collection A New Hope 6-pack—from late-night online drops to dawn patrol store runs—you’re not alone. Target’s initial preorder window looked promising, but about two weeks before the scheduled ship date on May 21st 2025, every online preorder was unceremoniously canceled. Since then, a trickle of sets has appeared on physical shelves, and lucky night-owl collectors have occasionally snagged one during brief restocks.
Good news from on high! Steve Evans, Hasbro’s Senior Design Director for Star Wars and Marvel, jumped into the conversation right on the GalacticFigures.com Facebook page and shared this update:
“Big thanks for your patience with the ANH Retro Collection set — I know the Target preorder cancellations were a letdown, and I’m truly sorry.
The silver lining? As you discovered, some stores are already getting it in, and for those still without grail success… full nationwide availability of the set is expected by the end of June! Trust the Force and LET’s GO RETRO!”
That’s the kind of transparency we love to hear. In short, “Wider Availability at the End of June” means you can save your hyperdrive fuel for just a few more weeks.
