reports in with additional
information included in this weeks Q&A concerning the
recently leaked Millennium Falcon remake, and some info on the their plans for the
future Q&As...
From Hasbro:
The elephant in the room:
Can we say we held back confirmation because we really couldn't believe it
ourselves that it was happening, and didn't want to dash hopes if it
somehow fell through? No? OK then, it is time to come clean. As
most
people have seen by now, pictures did get leaked of what we were hoping
would be the biggest secret we ever held onto - the massive, new 3-3/4"
Millennium Falcon. We can confirm that it *is* real, and it *is*
spectacular! Please trust us when we say that our intentions were truly
in the right place - we wanted to surprise fans everywhere with the
biggest secret we had ever tried to hold back leading up to the massive
7/26 launch date for Clone Wars/Legacy. We do expect the first
availability to be 7/26 at the same time as everything else. We have been
working against a reveal plan, including a world debut in Wired Magazine
(June issue, on sale in May!), followed by some very key celebrity reviews
and additional exposure prior to the public debut at Comic Con. At least
that was our intention...with something like this, as big as it is, and as
intense the interest is in Star Wars, it proved impossible to hold. Look
for additional details to roll out as per the schedule above, and look
forward to the full public debut at Comic Con.
Star Wars Q&A on StarWars.Hasbro.com:
As part of our efforts to continue to make starwars.hasbro.com an
informational destination and to get the best information out there for
collectors, we are plannning to repost the entire Q&A to starwars.hasbro.com
one week after we have distributed responses back to
collector sites, as a cross-web archive. We think this will give sites
ample time to break any Q&A news to their own fans, and, at the same time, give
more casual fans coming to starwars.hasbro.com exposure to all of the sites asking
questions so they can visit those communities if they choose.
