Time
for another round of Hasbro
Q&As. Check out our latest questions, and Hasbro's answers...
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.
Are the vintage style figures still shipping to stores, are have they run their
course? How long will the mail-away promotion last? The last promotion was extended
beyond the deadline, any chance of this one doing the same?
A. Vintage has run its course at Wal-Mart and Target, but continues on at TRU
and other smaller retailers. The promotion this time has plenty of time
for offers to trickle back in - it lasts until 2/29/2008.
Q. Any chance
we will see the first Clone Wars figures at Toy Fair, or even sooner?
A. Right now, Toy Fair is the most likely time for the first peak at what
they will look like.
Q. You stated before that
we would see many of the older case assortments from the TAC line in later assortments,
particularly the concept figures. As of yet, I've still not seen these showing up,
and many people are still looking for some of them. Now that the coin problem is
fixed will these start showing up in higher quanities?
A. We didn't say that older case packs would show up again, but that figures
would be remixed into future assortments, which is happeneing for popular
figures like the Galactic Marine, Airborne Trooper, the McQuarrie figures,
and others.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post
the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
