This week in Q&A - HasLab! Have there been rumblings? Online vs. Retail - well, we've been talking about this for 23 years now. Sail Barge populations - will there be more returning favorites?
Be sure you send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Over the last few years we've been tracking the slow decline of Kmart and Sears, two former titans of retail that have outlasted Toys R Us and numerous other retail behemoths. Today 46 more stores were announced to be getting the axe, and you can read the list of them here.
It's been a fascinating year for toys, where a once-unstoppable monster like Toys R Us went from crushing numerous regional competitors to being closed forever in the USA, and mere months later the long-dormant Mego Corp action figure line is back, and at Target, and cheap. Things keep changing, but remain unpredictable as we move into an increasingly unstable future in the world of toys.
Target's exclusive Gamorrean Guard (The Black Series 6-Inch) has an opening mouth - and I'm having a lot of fun with that. Use any food you may have to engage your toy and also be mad that you can't find one, because it's awesome, and I'd love to get 1 or 2 more of these. Read on!
Fresh from SDCC, it's Doctor Aphra! This figure will be sold on the traditional 6x9 cardback later this year, but if you got her and her droid pals in the 3-pack you know she's got a good range of movement and joints that actually move and work well. Hasbro did a great job with the newest Fan's Choice figure. Read on!
This week in Q&A - More Clone Wars! I wouldn't get your hopes up. Big vehicle reissues! There, either. The Future of Force Link! Maybe it's not your day.

Fresh from Comic-Con, it's 0-0-0 (Triple Zero)! This is a black C-3PO repaint - this is the 2010 Vintage mold. Want to see more? Read on!
It's Woody! The Tobias Beckett (The Black Series 6-Inch) turned out pretty well, has the requisite amount of articulation, with perfectly nice painting. The facial hair could be a smidgen better, but it's still consistent with the quality this line has given us as of late. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Are joints always good? Some are. Toys R Us returning to the USA? Denial lasts a long time. Fox and Disney... what does that mean for us in the short term?
Also Comic-Con exclusives are set to hit HasbroToyShop.com today.

We were shown this on Twitter, and well, why not just show it to you? Here's this year's Halloween Disney parks droid R4-B0018. Thanks to @Jesse_James77 on Twitter for sharing in a tweet.
Because of the candy theme for this year’s Halloween droid at Disney, I’m predicting red white striped candy cane holiday droid! You heard it here first whenever it happens. It will happen.
Check out the Rebel Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch) figure! He has a helmet, a blaster, and the Death Star plans from Rogue One. That's how you cross generations. The articulation is exceptional, so of course it's going to be hard to troop-build this one. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The Clone Wars! No, Hasbro doesn't have plans for us yet. And More Solo - maybe, who knows. And what's worth bringing back from the Vintage era? Oh, have I got opinions.

While they showed up last week, fans who found it were denied at check-out.
