This week in Q&A: Packaging tape! Tape on the front of packaging is Hasbro's new normal. Is it a problem? Rereleasing 6-inch figures - will Hasbro make more after you skipped them on clearance on Amazon? And finally single-carded figures - are more coming? (Yes, but they sell fast.)

This week in Q&A: How is The Force Awakens comparing to The Phantom Menace nine months out? Let's also talk digital releases and variations, just like the old days. Did you know that in the 1990s people bought multiple figures based on subtle changes of the belt, or a comma on the packaging, or a warning sticker? It's true!

This week in Q&A: let's talk rare stickers. Kenner stickers! You'll like this one. Also we can look at toy storage which is difficult to do well. And here's your chance to chime in with international variants on exclusives - I don't got any, but maybe you do!

Let's Q&A! We talk Canada - and are dismissive, as we are Americans. And The Clone Wars - while dwindling, it ain't dead. Also vehicle greatest hits - is this a good time to buy if you want a definitive take on anything?

It is once again time for Q&A! Let's talk PR - are the media socialists answering everything we want to know? And price increases - yes, they happened and yeah, you can probably expect another one in 1-2 years. Also Droid Factory parts - there are a bunch out there, don't you know!

Welcome to Q&A! We're cleaning out the mailbag with questions about Digital release figures (with no confirmation of said digital release), new Bespin Han, and seeing if the grass is greener plus some other stuff. It's good.

After a small error last week, we're back with Jumbo Sized Q&A! (Formerly known as "regular size Q&A.") Toy Fair didn't reveal all that much to the public, but at least we can talk about increasing costs and shortcuts to keep figures cheap. And Titanium figures - did you miss any? Maybe, but a lot never made it out. And Rebels - how much longer can it last? All this and more in the column I meant to post last week and wrote in January (plus 2 bonus questions), after the break.

Due to an oversight on my part, the column is on another computer in another city. As such the weekly Q&A will not appear tonight as scheduled, please check back later this week.
Toy Fair is this weekend, but before we get some facts let's do some Q&A anyway! Let's talk new movie figures - we're not going to see any this week most likely, but should we expect sneak peek mail-ins or waves? And how about that new Imperial Troop Transport - should we wait for a version with a pack-in figure? And fast food - are McHappy toys a thing of the past now that Disney is involved? Our rampant speculation says maybe not!

This week in Q&A: Let's talk Marvel comics! There are new ones. And more new big vehicles - should we be hopeful of more TV toys before the new movie? And The Vintage Collection - how realistic are more reissues of previously released figures on previously released packaging? Well... I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

It's Q&A time! Should we expect more female action figures now? Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath. What's up with Hera - is she getting more toys? And how about spin-off movies - should we be excited?

This week in Q&A: Let's talk Imperial Troop Transports. It's almost time! And One weird but totally true reason why you are seeing bare shelves at toy stores. And also Expanded Universe defrocking - why the long faces?

Let's talk price increases in Q&A! They're happening, thanks to the rise of the middle class and probably also iambic pentameter. Expanded Universe figures in 6-inch scale - will you get that XL Starkiller you've always wanted? And how are the Rebels toys doing? Good question.

Welcome to 2015, Q&A readers! We're in the future. There are no hovering cars, but there will be The Force Awakens action figures - that's pretty good, right? Also, thinking of a good way to represent your collection can be tough, so let's all cheat.

We're experiencing a few technical difficulties still in Q&A! Also I deserve a break, but before I go let's talk new vintage figures - now that we're one year into their revival, what does the retro trend look like? Also Canada - because we have space to fill.
