It's Kit Fisto, an amazing revision of a great character. Mostly.  Some details aren't perfectly true to the film or to the needs of the toy, but it's still pretty good.  Good enough?  Read on!

It's new, and exclusive!  The Spider Assassin Droid comes in a new Toys R Us exclusive set with two clones-- and isn't a bad little robot.  (Well, OK, he's evil but it's a good toy.)  Should you go run and get one? Read on!

In the comics, ARC Trooper Alpha-17 was usually blue.  OK, pretty much 100% blue.  There was a more Episode III-esque redesign, but for some reason we got a red one in an Evolutions set a few years back.  Is it worth a look?  Read on!

Hey kids, it's Lieutenant Thire!  There are two similar-enough versions of this figure and you probably will want to get at least one of them.  Why not?  He's from a great episode.  Read on!

It's a new Even Piell, the first all-new sculpt for the character in quite some time!  (Almost 10 years!)  This short figure has a nifty climbing backpack and a head sculpt that feels like it's a little fragile.  Read on!

Hasbro sure likes Captain Rex, and this brand-new version is based on the newer sculpt, has a couple of jet packs, and ball-jointed hips-- plus a cloth "skirt.'  Is it worth the upgrade?  Read on!

It's a Tactical Droid!  This TA-175 turned out great and comes with a tank-- which, even at $20, makes him cheaper than the individually carded Tactical Droid from 2010.  Should you get him?  Read on!

Last Q&A for a while-- I'm going on hiatus for a few weeks! We also look at the Just-relased Mandalorian Assault Transport, the future of vintage logos, and Star Wars Mego. And more! Read on, and send in your questions for our next exciting update.

In this week's ad:

1. Vintage Y-Wing on sale for $29.99, or $10 off.  It's difficult to cram newer pilots (with all the straps) in here, but it's still a gorgeous ship for $30.

2. Bricktober! Spend $20 on LEGO and get a free Retro Minifigure LEGO magnet.

It's another Geonosian Drone!  Hasbro made a bunch of these out of one basic mold, and it's a good thing-- they all turned out pretty well!  Read on!

Ad: The new and super-nifty Vintage Wave 9 has been restocked at Entertainment Earth. It includes a number of Revenge of the Jedi figures plus Bastila Shan, a Hoth Rebel Trooper, and the finest version of Ponda Baba yet!  Click here to check pricing and availability.

It's Lando Calrissian and this is the third modern attempt to sculpt the Rebel hero, but only the first with a cloth cape.  The original in the 1980s got it right, but how does this one stack up against its modern siblings?

I hope you love Republic Commando figures like this Omega Squad Sniper, an exclusive that you can't easily get any more. Well, unless you count eBay.  Does this figure know where the blacktion is, or is it just another repaint?  Read on!

From Domino Squad, it's Cutup!  This new redeco appeared on eBay and has not yet been confirmed by Hasbro.  Is it something they'll announce at New York Comic Con next month...

It's Aurra Sing, cartoon style!  Since the new movie one isn't ready yet, this is currently the best version of the character you can buy as a toy.  Heck, it might be still next year-- we'll have to wait and see.  Read on!
