All of 2019 feels like a slow build-up to the biggest cinematic event of the year: Star Wars Episode IX in December. With "Triple Force Friday" already announced for October it's clear many of the toys and figures of 2019 will be a secret for eight more months. Yet Hasbro still had plenty of Star Wars to share in both 3.75-inch and 6-inch scales at this year's Toy Fair International in New York. Join Arnie and Marjorie now for all the information directly from New York!

For Star Wars collectors 2019 was a mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good included the most detailed Star Wars vehicle/playset ever in the form of Jabba's Sail Barge. Plus the Black Series 6-inch line continued strong with great offerings from Clone Wars Armor Obi-Wan Kenobi to The Mandalorian, plus several Rise of Skywalker figures.

Mixed in with that was some bad: The limited-articulation 3.75" line that had been a mainstay for years was cancelled. The Vintage Collection filled that niche, but lacked in new figures and in-store availability. The new 5-inch Galaxy of Adventures line didn't click with many collectors.

Then in the ugly was the limited availability of Retro Collection figures at Target--especially the multi-colored Darth Vader. And what, no Baby Yoda toys?

In this new Star Wars Action News podcast the team comes together to reflect on what the last year brought--and what they hope the new year can deliver!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Star Wars Action News.
