This week in Star Wars Q&A - Pegwarmers! Oh, we've seen a few.  And since we only got one question I may be rambling a bit about Retro and the state of things in that second slot.

Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week. If you have questions, now is a great time to send them in!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Snowtrooper (The Vintage Collection). It's the best one yet - no surprise there. It's sold in a four-pack, or a typical cardback. But here's the weird thing - I've never seen it in a big box store. I can get plenty of Lando, or The Acolyte figures, maybe a Cobb Vanth or other characters. But for some reason, they decided not to put this nicely-articulated best-yet take on The Empire Strikes Back's most distinctive trooper in places where you can easily buy one, or two, or thirty. I'd recommend adding it to your squad if you can find it. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). Still at a Target near you, this is the one figure in the set that gets you a lot of new parts. He shares a few elements with the bike figure you also don't have, but he's mostly new and has lightning on his hands for some reason. That aide, it's still a ver good figure. The 5-pack exclusive is a decent deal at regular price, and is $29.74-ish on sale today - and may be cheaper in a week or two. Be sure to snag it before it vanishes, it's neat. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Vehicles - what's the deal with pricing? And Mini-Rigs, what's going on there?

Also we are out of questions so I have an opening for next week. If you have questions, now is a great time to send them in!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wuher (2025 - The Vintage Collection). I was happy with the old one from 2000, but this one is better. If we never got this update with the HasLab Cantina, I'd still have been happy with the 25-year-old release - but wow. Painted chest hair. Facial bruising. Bags under the eyes. A separately molded hair piece. Incredible articulation. And, for some reason, an alternate hand which adds no actual functionality since his regular mitts can hold glasses just fine. He's got a blaster too. I'd say "get this one" but that ship has theoretically sailed unless you're going to the Bay of E. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Snaggletooth (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection). A more or less modern mold painted to look like the very first Sears exclusive Star Wars figure! This guy has a blaster, three other figures, and a diorama - and the price is pretty fair for what you get in the box. The boots are molded in silver (rather than painted) plus he has pale skin and that thin red smile. It's distinctive, and you should probably buy two. Read on!

It's time! And you know what for.

The Retro Collection Dump has been updated, now that we have confirmation that Garindan's shawl/hood is a cloth part.   My many lists and tallies have been updated to reflect Garindan, CZ-3, and R4-M9 reveals. 

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Shadows of the Empire - is it time to come back? The endless vehicle upgrade cycle - is it over? Of course not.

Also let's speculate about 2027 because it's fun!

Ad: Star Wars Vintage Collection Action Figures 2 Wave 8 are up at Entertainment Earth! Get Greedo, Poggle, General Veers, and a Snowtrooper Commander. Orders are expected to ship by May.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R4-TR3 (Droid Factory). It's from 2024, and it's kinda great with super-colorful lights, but also, it's a decoration and maybe it will fit in hte background of your Endor display.  It's sold out, but you can still find one. Read on!

Unnecessary commentary? Why sure!   Here's the TLDR on the 30 minute stream.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Blue Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). I've never seen this in a store - but you can get it online. The bike is a nifty new mold with swing-out wings, rolling wheels, and a firing rocket. Obi-Wan is a mix of unique parts and elements shared with other figures - and a great head sculpt for a kid item. If you can find it for a fair price, especially at or under $20, get it. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - International distribution - would you believe, as an American who buys toys in America, this is not my area of expertise? Better figure stands - you do have options that may support a larger figure.

Also it's almost the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens, which is a more interesting thing to discuss than Avatar 3.
