Read on to find out... And, stop by the Jedi Temple War Room to check out their first official Q&A!

Hasbro's Q&A

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.

You can also check out our Q&A Round-up, as well as our exclusive Headline Report over in our forums!


Q. The Vintage Collection was no doubt one of the highlights of the 2010 Toy Fair. And the Empire Strikes Back wave pays great homage to the 30th Anniversary of Empire. But we were also enthused to hear about seeing prequel era characters on the classic black and silver cardback for the first time. Can we please get a look at some of those Revenge Of The Sith wave offerings that were teased at Toy Fair but were sadly absent? And is it possible to get the figure numbering for those first couple of Vintage Collection waves?

A. Attached is one image from an upcoming figure – an update to General Grievous. The rest of the figures will be released at Comic Con.

Q. There still seem to be some lingering questions about some running change figures that were hinted at and seen in 2009. Many are excited to see the Hoth Rebel Trooper coming in the mysterious exclusive Hoth battle pack. But what about the running changes of the Imperial Scanning Trooper or Utai? Is it possible that either of these will see the light of day within the next year?

A. Neither of these will be coming to the shelves in 2010. Their fate for 2011 is also uncertain. The Imperial Scanning Trooper will not work on a Vintage card because of the accessory, so that relegates him to the exclusive realm and makes things a little tougher. He's a possibility for a 2011 Battle Pack, though, and that's what we'll concentrate on.


Check back in a few weeks and we'll post the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
