Good news, everyone! New stuff is starting to hit - I personally saw a Target in Phoenix, AZ have a couple of Wullfwarro/Wookiee Warrior and Sabine Wren/Stormtrooper Star Wars Mission Series 2-packs at $9.99 a pop this evening before dinner.  (I didn't see any of the other new ones.)  If you're in the market for these, either order online at your favorite store or gas up the car!

Ad: Entertainment Earth added a ton of new Hasbro pre-orders! Lots of Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, and more await you if you get them before they sell out. Why wait? Pre-order yours today!

It's Q&A time! Should we expect more female action figures now? Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath. What's up with Hera - is she getting more toys? And how about spin-off movies - should we be excited?

This is great! Tonight's episode of Star Wars Rebels is "Idiot's Array," which lets you know right from the start that this is an episode for the hardcore loyalists from the 1980s. Originally appearing in the novels and some other Expanded Universe materials, the episode title lets you know that a familiar face will make an appearance, voiced by one of two special guest voice actors. And it was really fun, too!

If you liked the more episodic one-shot stories of old and love easter eggs aimed specifically at fans like you, this is a real gem of an installment. I daresay it's my favorite of the season and those who hate spoilers, well, too bad. Read on for more!

This week in Q&A: Let's talk Imperial Troop Transports. It's almost time! And One weird but totally true reason why you are seeing bare shelves at toy stores. And also Expanded Universe defrocking - why the long faces?

Just in 2013, Target made waves by announcing they were moving in to Canada and supplanting Zellers. And now? Not. News reports confirm the big red dot is leaving the Great White North effective pretty much nowish. Basically, the roll-out was supposedly too fast with prices that were higher than anticipated. Will this mean US Target exclusives will go back to English-only packaging? We shall see!

Let's talk price increases in Q&A! They're happening, thanks to the rise of the middle class and probably also iambic pentameter. Expanded Universe figures in 6-inch scale - will you get that XL Starkiller you've always wanted? And how are the Rebels toys doing? Good question.

Over in another place where they speak English, a number of companies have put out little weekly magazine-with-figure or magazine-with-parts to build something really big.  DeAgostini is doing a 1:1 replica of an 808mm (32-inch) prop of the Millennium Falcon from The Empire Strikes Back in this format, with 100 "issues" of parts and pieces at £8.99-£10.99 per - so it gets pretty expensive.  Click here to read more.  No word on a US distribution plan yet.

If we hear more about distribution in other territories, we'll post that too.

Ad: Amazon's exclusive Playskool Heroes Star Wars Jedi Force Imperial Forces Pack has had another price drop, now clocking in at 15.47.

The six figure set is packed with figures you won't find anywhere else, so either get it now don't.  You'll get a TIE Pilot, Sandtrooper, Shadow Stormtrooper, Snowtrooper, Scout Trooper, and a regular Stormtrooper.

Ad: Entertainment Earth has over 2,000 items on sale at crazy prices! Lots of Batman, Star Wars, Star Trek, and more await you if you get them before they sell out. They're cheap, so get yours before they're gone forever - these special sales all end next Tuesday!

The back half of Star Wars Rebels begins here with "Path of the Jedi," which treads very familiar ground. Like much of the series, various themes are brought back in a new form along with recreations of music and scenes you've seen in the movies and elsewhere. This week, we get the much-promoted return of Frank Oz as Yoda in a voiceover role during a Jedi temple sequence which does raise a number of in-Universe questions, like "So if there's only 10,000 Jedi, how come there are a bunch of very expensive, very ornate temples all over the galaxy?"

Now that we're back from break, let's see what's new in the Force. Read on for more!

Welcome to 2015, Q&A readers! We're in the future. There are no hovering cars, but there will be The Force Awakens action figures - that's pretty good, right? Also, thinking of a good way to represent your collection can be tough, so let's all cheat.
