I have to admit, it's only one day in and we've already had a few more surprises than the last few shows combined it seems like - especially Disney kicking out piles and piles of new droids.
Today was the
Hasbro Designer panel, but I didn't see too much coverage of it. Sounds like it was more about looking back at 40 years of Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars and talking designers favorite items and such with Mark Boudreaux and some others. Hope some video of that gets posted eventually as I'd like to watch it.
The main Hasbro panel takes place on Saturday...
