One of the biggest hits of the new launch is Grand Moff Tarkin (The Black Series 6-Inch) . There's a lot of good stuff - but this one is great. He has a torture droid and easily the best "classic" likeness on one of these figures yet! Read on.
Lifelike but Aiden-ish, the Han Solo (Solo, The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty good. Nice costume, good articulation, excellent paint. And you can find it online or at a store near you - read on!
This week in Q&A - Unmade figures of old! Should Hasbro bring them back? Stashing figures - why? And checklists of upcoming releases. Why isn't Hasbro handing these out like candy to keep us on the hook?
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
I assume you have bought or are buying the Lando Calrissian (Solo, The Black Series 6-Inch) because it's really cool. Removable scarf, removable cape, blaster with removable silencer/barrel/whatever - it's a lot of plastic, and the Donald Glover likeness is really good. Read on!

If you like barely-different variations, Rey (Crait Defense) has salt shoes. She's a lot like the other figures you bought last year, but hey, salt shoes. Read on!
From the 4-pack, the First Order Walker Driver (The Last Jedi Line Look) is a great addition to your figure stash - but there's no vehicle for it to pilot just yet. It's cool though, with added grey stripes to distinguish it from the half dozen or so Snowtroopers you bought since 2015. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Figures sitting in vehicles! It has been a problem since the 1995 relaunch - although it was actually not too bad in 1995. Advertising! How does Hasbro pitch Star Wars in a post-Saturday Morning economy? And HasLab - should Hasbro let us vote on the next thing we vote on? Obviously, I'm guessing no.

So check out Rose (Crait Defense) from the four-pack from The Last Jedi. It's cool! She has her necklace, and what's left of her First Order uniform. And a blaster. She's one of the cooler figures in the set, so assuming you didn't already buy one and are just looking to have your good sense of taste reenforced read on!
UPDATE: The item was backed with 8,840 Sail Barges sold, over the 5,000 goal.
HasLab's Star Wars Sail Barge now has over 7,600 supporters. Obviously some must be doubling up, but that ain't bad - ends in just under 12 hours. For those who haven't been following along at home, the vehicle includes a Yak Face on a Power of the Force cardback (seemingly with a slightly different image and Canadian-style layout) and needed 5,000 people to buy it for Hasbro to start production. It's $499.99 plus applicable tax, and currently only ships to the USA and Canada unless you go through a third-party or set up your own freight forwarder.

Gold! The Vendor Droid (Gold, Droid Factory) is based on designs from The Clone Wars and is sold at Disney parks in parts bins. Should you get one? Probably! Read on!
This week in Q&A - More Sail Barge prognosticating! What's next? And Why not try something smaller? I wrote all these answers before the item passed the goal, so you might get a kick out of this. And Vintage Cardback Complaints - we wouldn't be Star Wars fans if we were happy.
