Hasbro's STAR WARS Bi-Weekly Q&A Session - Part 11

[DarkArtist]

Dear Hasbro,

Will we see anymore of the Bastila/EBT wave?
It came in a flash and disapeared within an instant. Some of us never saw Bastila or an Echo Base trooper, and other missed out on Ponda Baba. No part of that wave peg-warmed and the secondary market is killing us.
If you could revise some future cases, and bring them back just like you are doing with Fordo/Wedge/Gam Gaurd, it would be great.

Thanks.

I second this question...

Dear hasbro:

Is there any chance for the return of the comic packs? They seem to be doing well in the marvel universe toyline. Last time you spoke about them in the star wars line, you said you would be reevaluating them.

[Masterfett]

They seem to be doing well in MU because they are all repaints, in SW that failed and would fail again because you need the sculpts to be distinctive to the character.

Which requires new tooling for every figure.

They seem to be doing well in MU because they are all repaints

That's not entirely true. The MU line re-uses many parts for just about every figure, but there has been a fair amount of original tooling in the comic line.
Even so, I doubt Hasbro would bring back the comic line for regular retail. I'd be happy with occasional exclusives.

Third. I'd also like to see a repack of the black Endor Rebel.

Thanks,
Dan

Dear Hasbro,

Loved seeing all the new product at Toy fair that is coming in 2012 as well as the exclusives for SDCC.. in the past many fans have not had an opportunity or the necessary funds to attend SDCC and as a result often miss out on the cool exclusives offered at this convention. Is there any way that for this year the exclusives can be made in an abundance so fans who cannot afford to go to SDCC can still get these great products on Hasbrotoyshop.com?

Dear Hasbro,

this has probably been asked before I'm very excited to see you're taking on several characters form the old republic game (especially the republic trooper/Jace Malcom whom I was really hoping you'd make), do you have plans to continue exploring characters from this game? personally I would love to see a Master Satele Shan or Imperial trooper

thanks!

Dear Hasbro , Where is kitster? He is one of the episode 1

characters

from the vintage collection that has not come out yet. When will we get Kitster on a vintage collection card? Give us Kitster please hasbro. Thanks.

Dear Hasbro,

like many Star Wars fanatics and collectors I just love aliens. I know we´ve had many different ones but some species have not been getting attention!

Could you give us your idea on what the chances are for the following species of being immortalized in plastic?

- Tarnab
- Lutrillian
- Nimbanel
- Defel
- Riorian (Loje Nella)
- Sarrish
- Brizzit

Dear Hasbro,

I'm utterly disappointed about the figure of Ben Quadrinarios.
I have waited almost 10 years for this figure. He is in my opinion - after Jar Jar Binks - the most jolly, funny and colourful character from the whole movies.
Then, why has his figure such a grim face expression as if he was going into war ? The figure's face expression doesn't even match the figure's cardback photo !
And on the other hand - why does the Naboo Royal Guard have such a light-hearted face expression ? Shouldn't he look rather like he was going into war ?
I find it disturbing that a fun character has such a grim face expression and a war-related character has such a light-hearted face expression. In my opinion, it should have been vice versa.
