Hasbro Q&A Sessions

[Daigo-Bah]

That Sullustan B-Wing pilot answer suggests what we were discussing in the Evolutions thread: Ten Nunb will be in the 3-pack and likely there will be a kit-bashed human for the B-Wing itself.  I just hope that doesn't hold off an SA B-Wing pilot this year or next...

[Jesse James]

I'd guess the B-Winger in the Evolutions set is going to be quite articulated, and that it's the base for whatever the pack-in is...  Still, I wonder why a pack-in would be specific to the B-Wing?  The way the answer was worded, it sounded like the figure would make sense with the ship, but really B-Wings don't really appear prominent in EU with any individual character I can think of.

I wasn't really in the mood to buy a 2nd B-Wing, so the thoughts of this pack-in figure bum me out a little too...

In other Q&A goodness, it seems as though there will be some Hoth Rebel greatness coming in 2008!  That's good news.

Lots of dull stuff in the Q&A again this week, but there were some good answers too.  I liked the news from our questions for the most part (Yay for Toht, and the B-Wing thing is interesting), but the coin answer was disappointing.  I really wanted a silver EU coin...  Such is life with that though.

Good stuff came up this week I thought, at least with some of the questions asked, so that was a nice read through in Matt's round-up thread.

Yep - my thoughts exactly.

Although, if you think about it, the torso of Ten Numb could be the basis for any future B-Wing figure. Not to mention the fact that if they sculpt the arms and legs right, it might just be a matter of sculpting longer thighs, longer upper arms and a Human head to change a SA Ten Numb figure into a SA Human B-Wing pilot.

I'm glad that the B-Wing is coming. It's been a while since it was an exclusive to Target and it's always been one of my favorite designs from the OT. Also, since I don't army build vehicles, it will be a great opportunity to add a second one to my open collection as well.

I am very surprised we are not getting at least one of the vintage figures not yet done. I have to say I am unhappy about that.

Yeah, what happened to Lumat?

I just saw the question Hasbro answered regarding Jabba the Hutt. At this point, i really dont understand why they cant get a ultimate battle pack with Jabba and throne. I just dont understand what the problem is. Can we get a follow-up question as to why it is such  a difficult item to find a spot for?

[David]

No Toht? That's pretty disappointing. 

[Daigo-Bah]

There were some other interesting questions and answers around the web too:
At Mousedroid, a question was asked about Ponda Baba being resculpted, and they replied: Yes (to a Resculpt of  Ponda Baba), and we did not mention him specifically because there's a strong possibility that we'll take another look at him someday.

Also, at Sirsteve's, someone asked about a new Snowspeeder: Because of the size and greater cost, it has not been possible to get the existing Snowspeeder into the $20 vehicle pricepoint. You and your readers have been instrumental in the past in championing for a "true to scale" version and for this reason we have held off at using it in more exclusives. We have heard you....and are looking at ways to bring a new one to market within the next couple of years. Stay tuned!

[Jesse James]

Good news on the Snowspeeder, but I thought that was already sort of hinted at from past Q&A's (not necessarilly from SSG)?  Either way, it's good to hear as it's definitely too big.

The Ponda Baba I kind of just assumed would happen at some point.  He and Evazan are overdue at this point.

[Darth_Anton]

I caught the snowspeeder Q&A. Don't know how to feel about that. I like having the 4 unique ones I have, but at the same time, a more accurate one sounds cool.

[Nicklab]

Hasbro stated in an earlier Q&A that they would like to revisit the Snowspeeder at some point in time.  But the answer was rather vague.

[Muftak]

I wonder why a pack-in would be specific to the B-Wing?  The way the answer was worded, it sounded like the figure would make sense with the ship, but really B-Wings don't really appear prominent in EU with any individual character I can think of.

Doesn't EU say Admiral Ackbar designed the B-Wing? That could be interesting...

[Darth_Anton]

Interesting. I guess can see a slight common design theme with their large cruisers.
