Which Maiden album kicks more ass?

Somewhere in Time or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son?

Since we at Hasbro are never wrong and our opinion is infallible, we will answer "neither" to this question.  In our personal opinion, no our factual decree, the best Madine performance was without a doubt in "Return of the Jedi."

Hasbro has already made a Cloud Car in the 1998 Expanded Universe line.  As we have never actually seen any Star Wars films, this is the only Cloud Car that we know of and we believe it will suffice.  Because of the demand for the Cloud Car, we are rereleasing the 1998 Expanded Universe Cloud Car as a Target exclusive in 2006!

I'm gonna have to pass, I don't have the $54.99 plus tax for this sure-to-be-smoking-hot exclusive.

Why do you keep rehashing the Millennium Falcon, but never the Cloud Car? It's less plastic and I'm sure you could get away with charging 20 dollars for them.

Another thing that has been annoying me is that the final 12 ROTS figures are nothing but repaints! That is so fu**in lame!

Who's more powerful- Lemmy or God?

We are pleased to announce that Motorhead will be getting the exclusive chrome metal Clone Trooper this fall on their European tour.  There will only be four figures available at the shows, and while they are exclusively available on the tour, they are not endorsed by nor affiliated with Motorhead.  They will be sold by Sven Jurgenfurgenstern, a methampetamine dealer/dwarf porn star, who has won the contract for the exclusive rights to this figure.

God is currently in negotiations for an exclusive Clone Trooper of his own that will be sold through the 700 Club.  Stay tuned to Hasbro.com for more information!

May I kick you in the balls one-by-one till I am completely content with your efforts?

Jesse, if there is one thing you should have learned from reading our evasive and vague responses, our constantly ignoring the collecting community, our clinging to outdated methods of distribution, and neverending kowtowing to retail bullies like Wal-Mart and Target (exclusive Clone Trooper Vacuum Cleaner Repair Soldier available this fall!), it's that we at Hasbro have no balls. 

Why do you keep rehashing the Millennium Falcon, but never the Cloud Car? It's less plastic and I'm sure you could get away with charging 20 dollars for them.

Thank you for the feedback!  The Millennium Falcon is now available once again at Toys R Us stores across the country!  We're sure you will be thrilled with the improvements we have made to the toy's mold, which we've been using since 1978, and if you don't mind, please ignore the ones on clearance right next to the new ROTS boxed version, as those aren't nearly as good as this new one.  Because it's more expensive, that means it's better.

We are aware of the demand for the Cloud Car and as mentioned earlier in this thread, we will be reissuing the 1998 Expanded Universe Cloud Car as a Target exclusive next year.  And you will be pleased to know that while the price will be slightly higher than if it were an open market item, we are including two Neimoidian Warrior action figures to pilot the ship!  We hope you enjoy it!

Another thing that has been annoying me is that the final 12 ROTS figures are nothing but repaints! That is so fu**in lame!

Thank you for the positive feedback!  At Hasbro, we strive to offer the best variety of products available at varying price points for every audience.  Because of the positive feedback to these final 12 figures, we are pleased to announce we will be offering four more figures, sequenced III-69 through III-72 as the final figures in the ROTS line!  These figures will include:

III-69:  Neimoidian Lieutenant
III-70:  Neimoidian Captain
III-71:  Neimoidian Sergeant
III-72:  Neimoidian General

All four figures will be based on the awesome Neimoidian Warrior sculpt, and will once again include the awesome firing cannon accessory of that figure!  Because of the undoubtedly high demand for these figures, the current assortments shipping to stores consisting of figures 57-68 will be discontinued so that when ROTS hits DVD on November 4th, there will be plenty of Neimoidians on the pegs for all of the collectors, young and old!

Can I kick you in the teeth then?  It's only fair since you've kicked ME in the balls so much!

By the way can I deliver a message to Entertainment Earth and Target via you, oh wise Hasbro Rep?

We are aware of the demand for Hasbro to endure physical pain and torture, but we have no plans to comply with any attacks at this time.

By the way can I deliver a message to Entertainment Earth and Target via you, oh wise Hasbro Rep?

I am sure you want to commend them for their fine work in making difficult to obtain exclusive products available to the more affluent segments of collecting, and well you should.  They can be contacted at:

overpricedexclusives@target-inc.com

and

Are you guys really all failed real estate agents?  I can't really think up a more lame pairing.  You suit each profession so well, it's frightening.

I can't speak for everyone on the Star Wars team, but despite our hive mind approach to questions, we are individuals.  My own background was as an Edsel salesman in the mid-1970's and as the creator of New Coke.  So to say I have met with great professional success is a real understatement.

I have just been told that my co-worker Adam did actually work in real estate before becoming the brains behind the Force Battlers assortment, whose popularity continues to impress us on a daily basis.  Adam's greatest accomplishment was selling an ancient Indian burial ground to a housing developer at low prices.  This didn't last too long, as some crazy story about an imploding house and this weird little Munchkin lady obsessed with cleanliness started to ruin his reputation. 

We are actually quite lucky to have him on the team, since he was responsible for getting us this awesome ivory tower that we work in here in Pawtucket.

What do you say to the fans who you feel are overly critical of your "work" and "effort" on the Star Wars brand?

Also, what do you say to the people who applaud everything you do whether it's good, bad, or in-between?  Do you pay them to hang out on forums and websites to speak for you?  Do you wash your balls before they handle them or is that up to their own discretion?   :-X

Trick question-- Lemmy is God. ;)

But your skills in doublethink and newspeak are an asset to the Party.

New question: Why have the original 9 POTF2 figures from 1995 not been offered as Target exclusives? I can't wait to get a "Death Star Laser Beam Reflection" Princess Leia using the 1995 sculpt!
