And here we go again!  This Kanan Jarrus is a 6-inch action figure with 4 points of articulation that you can't really easily find online.   I'm only finding them at Family Dollar stores - it's a "value" item.   Should you get one?  Is a $6.75 6-inch figure worth your while?  Read on!

This week in Q&A - let's talk about Titanium and Hot Wheels vehicles - did you miss some? Probably! Changes - I don't plan on making many, but you asked. And old prototypes - there's really only one way to handle selling those things, and I think you know what it is.

And maybe some other stuff throughout the week if I stop being sick.

My eyeballs feel like they're melting, so that means I'm getting sick or allergies or perhaps it's just time for Q&A! Let's talk about exclusives a bit, with Classic Characters and not many new releases. Hey, that's life. And why not fill some space with vehicles and playsets? Sure, let's do!

If you're a living, breathing fan of Star Wars it's a safe bet that you're always looking for something new.  Well, I've found it.   We saw images of a Finn last year, which I have yet to see here in the USA, but I have seen new 6-inch action figures of Kanan Jarrus, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader at Family Dollar.   Presumably these are showing up elsewhere, too. 

This week in Q&A - Let's talk about Toy Fair a bit, with Classic Characters and not many new releases. Hey, that's life. And why not fill some space with vehicles and playsets? Sure, let's do!

This week in Q&A - let's talk big vehicles again. Are they dead? No. Are more coming? Not yet. Playsets - yeah. No. And stuck joints, that I can help you with.

I am live-tweeting Toy Fair right now!  Follow @Adam16bit on Twitter.

Update: Star Wars live now. It's over!

This week in Q&A - vintage reproduction weapons - how widespread are they? Tough to say... but they usually do feel different. And more 6-inch figures from the original movie - what's the prognosis? Droids - let's talk more about droids. You should get excited about droids, because droids are the droidiest things you can droid.

The headline says it all, and this story at Bloomberg says even more.  This is at least the second attempted takeover/merger between the two toy giants, and there's no word on if it is or isn't happening - but it's certainly interesting timing with Toy Fair next week.  Read this one.

Hasbro's new PR team wrote in today to share a tidbit about Toy Fair - and we spoiled it in the headline.  They say:

"We wanted to let you know that there will be no toys based on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story shown at Toy Fair this year. While there will be a small selection of new Star Wars toys revealed at Toy Fair and in the days leading up to it, none of them will be directly based on the new characters from the upcoming film."

This week in Q&A - Let's talk the Episode 8 Delay - is it a problem? Not for me! And the doom of Toys R Us and the impending toy clearance crunch - I may not share your opinions. But I do think the old Expanded Universe still very much has a home in the redacted galaxy we inhabit today... it just might not be identical.

Ad: Order Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3 3/4-Inch Jungle and Space Action Figures Wave 5 from Entertainment Earth! Cases and sets are now available.

This week in Q&A - the original original trilogy. Will it come to Blu-Ray? And the BIG TIE Fighter - will it inspire more huge toys? Well... did you buy one at full price?

America's newspaper The USA Today posted this preview of the new 2016 Princess Leia Figure as based on Star Wars Rebels which, as should come as no surprise, is based on early concept art from the original movie.  It is due this Fall, and I can't wait to buy one!  Meanwhile, series stars Sabine and Hera remain elusive.

Also, there is no Lando Calrissian toy based on his appearances (voiced by Billy Dee Williams) on Star Wars Rebels.  

This week in Q&A - let's look at toy friendliness. Does the new movie have it? (Did the original?) And Die-Cast Metal Disney Store Elite Figures - are they worth tracking down? And a grab bag of questions focusing on the next movie, old TV shows, and toy licenses that maybe just aren't going to see plastic.
