If you're looking to build an army, the First Order Stormtrooper Executioner (The Black Series 3 3/4-Inch) is pretty good.  Walmart has a super-articulated version of the figure, and Toys R Us has one with a Force Link pack at a higher price.  If you can find this one, get it.  Read on!

This week in Q&A When is a success a failure? Apparently when people don't love the story. Classic Star Wars Vehicles - when will we see more of them? And Classic Toys at Toy Fair - don't get your hopes up, cheese.

And send in your questions for next week. Read on!

Newish! The Rey (The Last Jedi Line Look) comes with a poncho, lightsaber, and blaster - but under it all, she's a lot like the Resistance Rey from 2016, albeit with a new sculpt and fancy sound chip.  Read on!

Ad: Catch up on Star Wars from Gentle Giant at Entertainment Earth! New statues and jumbo action figures are among the items added from Gentle Giant. While you're there, check out newness from Hasbro, too.

Today we look at the Elite Praetorian Guard (The Black Series 6-Inch)!  In the movie they were awesome - but the figures are a little tough to pose, even with elbow joints.  Should you build an army?  Read on!

This week in Q&A - I assume you've seen The Last Jedi by now! Force Link! How does it work? Battlefront II! Why aren't there more toys? And More Frequent Toy Clearances - what's the deal?

Speaking of Toys R Us, their exclusive First Order Officer (The Black Series 6-Inch)  is today's Figure of the Day!  He has a removable cap, tons of articulation, and comes with Admiral Ackbar.  I anticipate you will want to buy this, either now or in the coming weeks while you still can.  Read on!

Last year Toys R Us announced some problems and mentioned they may close some stores.  Today, USA Today has a list of 182 Toys R Us stores to close by April - including the two I frequent the most.   Check the list to see if your store will remain open.

Round! Another BB-8 continues the tradition of not being an individually packaged Hasbro figure as part of a 3-pack!  It talks if you have a Force Link band.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - I assume you've seen The Last Jedi by now! What's with the lack of stores? It's an issue - but not necessarily what's hurting us. Porg pack poot. Do we need more? Star Cases - what happens when they bend? Uh... I don't know.

One of the fun things about the toy world is seeing an old idea come back in a new form. Hasbro's Fighter Pods lasted for four series between 2011 and 2013 before being given the axe, but not before spanning all six movies and The Clone Wars. There were blind bags there were exclusives, and the whole collection could fit in a shoe box with room to spare. It was also the only line with Ziro the Hutt - I was sad to see it go. But hey, it's back! Micro Force Series 1 brings back 12 molds from those series with deco and tiny sculpt changes, with series 2 coming in a few months with characters from the newer films.

I'm still putting together a set, but out of five packets I got eight different figures. And there are differences from Fighter Pods - check out most of them after the break.
