This week in Q&A - Line planning! It makes sense, sort of, if you're watching. People who aren't you like different things than you do! It's science fun. The Death Star! Is something you won't be getting this year.

Sith lords, crime lords, let's just say he's good at lording it up. Darth Maul (Mandalore, The Vintage Collection) is up today! Like Ahsoka, this one is incredibly impressive - the vest is a separately molded piece, the paint is incredible, and the articulation is top-notch. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Mandalore, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, she is loaded with articulation and has some of Hasbro's very best painted detail at this scale. If you see her, buy two. Read on!

We're back! Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #4 is ready to read. Why should you read it?
It has things in recent Hasbro streams that you can't be bothered to sit for an hour and watch, in a format that you can skim through on your iPad on the toilet. I'm here for you, fellow olds. Highlights include: the HasLab Razor Crest delay, Macy's new toy section, an all-new Bib Fortuna, and so many of the new Hasbro announcements from over the summer in a handy checklist form - so you can see if any of it matters without wasting the amount of time it would take you to catch up on What We Do in the Shadows! Aren't I thoughtful?
Via ShopDisney: Fi¿Star Wars Droid Factory Halloween Figure – R6-W1CH. Right now, the droid is $12.99 plus shipping - not a bad deal, considering previous ones tend to sell $20 or more (much more) if you wait too long. Sadly many of us missed R2-RNBW, the Pride droid, and I'm still cranky. (Please sell me one if you have a spare. Loose fine.)
Happy Halloween! This means the Christmas droid is likely to show up real soon.

Get him while he's hot, get him while he's buttered: Admiral Ackbar 2021 Redux, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, this figure is a little less bright and has new paint applications that look a lot like - and not identical to - the 2010 original. Read on!
