So when is Hasbro going to give us that Vintage Yak Face we all so obviously need? And should we keep pre-mourning vehicles? Sure, why not. And why is Yoda's lightsaber painted all funky these days? All this and more await you in this week's Q&A, send in questions as we're reaching the end of the mailbag!

All Star Wars collectors will want to check out this weeks Brian's Toys newsletter.  The newsletter features a handful of Vintage 12-Backs AFA graded, new Gentle Giant busts, and Clone Wars 2-Packs.

Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a variety of new arrivals and another big batch of new preorders.

Nice upgrade!  This Padme Amidala was sold both individually and in Evolutions sets during The Legacy Collection's 2-year run, and is loaded with gear and articulation.  It's a big improvement over the 2002 edition!  Read on!

Half a Darth Maul is better than none, right?  Well, here you get both and you can slice him in two. That's a good time!  Two figures were made like this, so check out this version!

If you've been collecting figures from Japan, the new batch of Star Wars Kubrick DX Wave 3 should be of interest.  Not only is there a build-a-vehicle of a Landspeeder, but the bulk of the figures' aesthetics are heavily influenced by 1970s Kenner action figures.  I stumbled on these pictures at NCS today.

For years fans observed there weren't enough Rebel pilots, and by the time we got to John D. Branon it was pretty obvious that we now have too many.  With more pilots than vehicles, is there a reason to pick up this exclusive from 2009?  Read on!

What's this?  Another Battle Droid, that's what.  This was another 2-pack release, complete with removable limbs.  A Wookiee can totally pull his arms out of his sockets.  Do you need him for your armies?  Read on!

It's a new Clone Trooper for the Vintage Collection!  This just-released figure has bending wrists and a removable helmet, plus a brand-new sculpt that looks really awesome!  Read on!

So what kind of robe will Barriss Offee have? Why does Hasbro make so many trooper figures? (Really? We're asking this now?) And should you be worried about those Raiders of the Lost Ark figures coming to Comic-Con? All this and more, if you just read on!

Because you love this kind of stuff, I've got some impressions of Hasbro Star Wars The Vintage Collection Wave 6 for you! This new batch of figures started shipping to online stores just after Toy Fair, meaning you can either grab them online or hunt them down in your favorite-- or least-favorite-- local stores. What does the first truly mixed wave of new, non-repainted figures have for you? Read on!

For some reason, Hasbro opted to put this Clone Trooper with a vehicle rather than separately, making it tough to army-build.  Matching Snow Captain Rex, this figure comes with a Freeco Bike-- and it's pretty cool. (Get it?)  Anyway, should you get one?  Read on!

From the distant future, it's Luke Skywalker!  This one is based on the novels from the far-flung future of a galaxy far, far away where Chewbacca is dead and everybody's got kids.  How did this figure turn out?  Read on!

After years of whispers and a recent reveal of next year's toy packaging, StarWars.com shared the release date for the 3D theatrical conversion of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  More details after the jump.

Fresh from the newspaper strips, the Blackhole Stormtrooper finally got a Hasbro action figure last year.  Sort of.  In name only, at least-- missing are the white/silver lenses, but at least it's black.  Oh wait, it's really dark blue?  Hunh.  Well, read on!
