This week in Q&A - New finds! It's reset season! Also some hard to answer questions - not everybody knows everything. And launch days - look, I'm not a fan, and neither are retailers these days.
Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is almost empty. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Speederbike reissues! I wouldn't count on them any time soon. And... that's it! We're out of questions this week - send more, won't you?
Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is still empty. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Walgreens exclusives! Why yes, there is a new one this year. Also some Galaxy of Adventures - no news for a US release yet. And Playset things - deja vu!

This week in Q&A - Vehicle prices - why yes, everything is more expensive. Jumbo Figures - is the Gentle Giant line gone for good? And the Retro Collection - what's next?

This week in Q&A - The new Falcon! I don't have one, but I did read the press release. Are retail toy experiences over? If you're a collector, it seems that way - at least for now. And more reissues - I'd expect more.

This week in Q&A - Happy 25 years of toy journalism-ish, me! Oh wait, that's not a question. But collector engagement brings up some issues! And so does warped cards and weird pre-orders in the middle of the night. That seems about where we are now.

This week in Q&A - Crowdfunding! It's still popular. Third party stuff! Bootlegs, fan-made, knockoffs, it's a complicated world and Hasbro brought the hammer down on one manufacturer this week. And Tonnika sisters, because that's a thing we talk about and who doesn't love disappointment? It's something to read at home when you're not working or watching Floor Is Lava.

This week in Q&A - 3 3/4-inch figures! Because of course. And skipped waves aren't skipped yet. Also HasLab, because, well, why not. That Sentinel sure got funded fast, didn't it?

This week in Q&A - It's all about Hasbro's vehicles! Storage! I believe in warning labels. Also this old AT-AT and that new big AT-AT that doesn't actually exist. And did you see the new HasLab item? (It's not Star Wars and it got funded in about a day.)

This week in Q&A - The Retro Collection! This was unintentional, but all 3 questions have to do with things like Stickers and online order picking as well as pricing from this year's The Empire Strikes Back retro-style action figures at Walmart, which you probably never actually saw in stores or somehow found on clearance.

This week in Q&A - Repacks! It's something of a misnomer - they're new production. Production numbers! How many 1980s Power of the Force figures were there? We, uh, don't know.

This week in Q&A - Army builders! Well, maybe. And Mail-in figures - that might be over. Retro figures - we all want more, competition between figure sizes and formats aside.

This week in Q&A - box variations! Count Dooku - which is the best 3 3/4-inch figure, and would you believe it hasn't been improved upon in 15 years? And HasLab sure whatever.

This week in Q&A - Shiny and chrome figures apparently not eternal - where did they go? Protocol droids - hey, another similar question! And retro figures - we love them.

This week in Q&A - Finding old molds! Believe it or not, these things aren't meant to last forever. And photo real deco - is it good? Well, sometimes. Mostly. Let's also talk home video discs - is there still money in them thar hills?
