Q and A of the Day: Day 58

Posted by Paul | April 10, 2014 at 09:41 AM ET

Welcome to our next Q and A of the Day post! This column will be published daily, weekly, monthly, or just based on how many questions I get emailed – but no more than one a day. Feel free to send in your questions and I will put them in the queue. Click through for Q and A of the Day: Day 58. Topic: 3.75" Jabba the Hutt again?

UPDATE: Maybe it really does need a re-release as soon as possible. Look at what the shocking after-market value on eBay is!

Q: My question regards the 2010 Walmart Jabba's throne. I know a 6" inch is coming to SDCC, but is there any word of them making a new 3.75" version? Possibly in a Vintage box? I would really like to get the best Jabba set, and don't want to buy the Walmart exclusive to have another come out this year. Thanks for any/advice! (Eli H.)

A: I actually have an answer for you because I have personally asked this question to Hasbro myself. In October 2013 during the pre-NYCC party, I asked about this and Hasbro was unaware of the demand for the 2010 Star Wars [Shadow Of The Dark Side] Jabba's Throne set. I myself personally don't understand how anyone missed it. It was available in huge numbers at multiple Walmart stores in my immediate area, and then Entertainment Earth picked up some of the remaining units and ended up blowing it out for pennies on the dollar. So I asked them again at Toy Fair this year. They seemed to be just as clueless about the demand for the set again. That being said, it does seem as if demand has increased despite it being readily available during its time at retail.

Because Hasbro was still unaware of the demand, I encouraged them to investigate this more and they'd probably discover that there is a need for it again. I then asked them "If you did decide to re-release it, is it possible you could put in The Vintage Collection packaging. They mentioned that is likely. Then I asked when. They said it wouldn't happen until closer to Episode VII, (which means a year before the film (i.e. December 2014) and for the duration of that year Hasbro will focusing all attention of Return Of The Jedi. So it's possible we may see Jabba The Hutt again in 2015.
