It's
time for another Hasbro
Q&A! Click through to find out all the latest details, including confirmation
of an upcoming Legacy Comic 2-pack...
Don't
forget, you can submit
questions in our forums and we'll try to get as many as possible submitted to
Hasbro. We can send only three questions per week, so make sure they are good ones! Now,
on to this weeks Questions and Answers directly from Hasbro.
Q.
There seems to be a call for accessory packs
in the collecting community, but the responses that we've gotten in the Q&A process
seem to indicate that they're tough to market. Has any thought been given to trying
to incorporate accessories into a more attractive package, like a scene appropriate
Screen Pack? For example:
-Clone Trooper accessories in a Kamino training facility pack. This could be the
quartermaster station from Attack Of The Clones that dispenses the Clone Trooper
helmets
-Imperial accessories in a Death Star alcove pack. Have rifle racks, rifles, blasters,
and maybe a mouse droid or two in this set.
This kind of presentation might satisfy both accessory fans and collectors who
enjoy the Scene Packs.
A.
These are pretty good ideas and we have been conceptually looking at
this approach. I will say that our product sublines are always evolving.
If the figure component of the set is strong, there's always a possibility
we could do things like this down the road.
Q. A collecting news site recently reported that there
is a Star Wars Legacy comic 2-pack on the way featuring Imperial Knights
Antares Draco & Ganner Kreig? Is this report accurate, and can we expect
more Legacy 2-packs in this line in the near future?
A. It's no secret that we were seen conspiring with Randy Stradley, John
Ostrander and Jan Duursema at Celebration IV, and we are pleased to
confirm that we are indeed pursuing this pack for late in 2008. As for
future Legacy packs, we are hopeful to be able to do more as
time/resources/tooling allows, but don't have any others slotted in right
now that we can officially talk about.
Q. Hasbro recently
confirmed that the blue Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Starfighter and green Anakin Skywalker
Jedi Starfighter would be making their way into the 2008 assault vehicle line. Will
these new renditions have more accurate paint apps? The original, exclusive
versions in the Revenge Of The Sith line were almost too white.
A. We will be replicating the first exclusive versions exactly as they
originally appeared. Perhaps for a future release we can do these, but
for the 2008 releases they will be the same ones that came before.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post
the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
