Because nobody else gives their questions the answers they deserve...

Q: I hear the Early Bird kits are showing up in peoples' mail, but I haven't seen mine yet. As a paranoid person, I have two hypothetical questions for you: 1. When should I start worrying? 2. What should I do if mine doesn't come? A "what I'd do" answer is all I'm looking for here

A: 1 Tuesday, January 17, 2006 at 4:34PM GMT. 2 Run around your house/apartment building crying like a baby and flapping your arms. Screaming "I want my toys" may help you feel better.

Q: Hi I was wondering with all the hype over the Medicom 12" figures and the Sideshow 12" figures if Hasbro is going to be making any more 12" figures or are they discontinuing the line? Also, are the Sideshow 12" figures going to be going for under $100.00 dollars? -Mike

A: Mike, Mike, Mike. It's October. Comicon was two months ago and it was announced that Hasbro was done with 12" and had passed the license for 12" figures on to Sideshow.. Where have you been for the last 2 months? In December will you be asking when the baseball playoffs start?

Q: With Hasbro having the Star Wars license till 2018, it seems a good bet they'll get around to everything, but do you know if Hasbro has considered a vintage style set of figures? By this I mean figures that were never done in the 77-85 line done now in the same simple style and packaging as that era? The DVD OTC set would have been the perfect opportunity. Perhaps a 30th anniversary set? Can you get this suggestion out there? -Please withhold my name

A: If I had asked this question I'd have asked for my name to be withheld also.

Every time a figure comes out with 20 points of articulation and a great paint job the first 40 posts on the big forums are usually "whaa, whaa...his boots should be brown, not black, whaaa, whaa." Do you really expect those people to want vintage throwback figures? I highly doubt it.

Ironically, however, the OCD forum rats would probably buy them. But they wouldn't like it and we'd here about it. Constantly.

Q: What has happened with Hasbro and the fan choice figures we have not heard anything more about this since the concept storm trooper do they have any plans for another figure even if it is next year in the saga line? -Alan

A: Here's a poll for you Alan:
What does Alan's question need more of:
A: commas (,)
B: periods (.)
C: semicolons (;)
D: all of the above
