Hasbro checks in with the latest answers to our questions. Enjoy this round of "pre-Comic Con" Q&A!

Hasbro's Q&A



JTA: Online retailers are taking pre-orders to what they are calling wave 8 of The Vintage Collection (which include the Revenge Of The Jedi chase figures). But back in February during Toy Fair there were two waves of figures supposedly due in between June and September including the 501st Trooper, Kithaba, Aayla Secura, Dr. Evazon, Ponda Baba and Hoth Rebel Technician among many others. Can you give us the numbers of the these figures and clarify what waves they are going to be in as well as what their approximate shelf dates are. Are they coming before or after this “October wave 8”? The Vintage Collection is really becoming confusing and we really want to get our paws on these figures.

Hasbro: As we also mention elsewhere in this month's Q&A, some Vintage figures planned for 2011 were moved to 2012.  We will share full details on this change and the affected figures at San Diego Comic-Con..

JTA: Are you able to give us an idea of how many modern updates to the original vintage figures (you know, the vintage “Collect all 92”) you are planning to release in The Vintage Collection? We recently did a special report (view this report here) outlining what we think is left before all of the original figures are remade to match their vintage counterparts. We’ve made life a little easier for you. And we even know a few more are coming now. We would love if these final figures came out during The Vintage Collection! If you’re feeling generous, maybe you could also let us know how many modern updates you have in the works too (ones you have made say in the POTF2 line but are due for better updates)? But specifically, can you let us know your plans for the mustachioed Bespin Security Guard, Lumat, Lapti Nek version of Sy Snootles, vintage Nikto and Sim Aloo? Please make them all a reality for us?

Hasbro: We agree there are still some holes left to fill in the Vintage Collection.  By the end of 2012 some of these gaps will be filled, with, for instance, figures like Lumat.
