Other Collectibles / Re: Playskool Galactic Heroes Thread

Plenty of Galactic Heros talk lately:
1. Hasbro tells jedinews why the AT-AT got delayed: They couldn't fit it on the reduced shelfspace at big retail. If it happens again next year, they may try it out at an unspecified (TRU) exclusive retailer.
2. Rebelscum gets the Anakin Starfighter, ROJ Falcon, and Endor Celebration sets (plus some others we already knew were out) on hand for their photo archives. Are these trickling out, then? I've never known Rebelscum to get ahold of GH items before they're released.
3. Collection Station has to be directly told what we already knew: we aren't getting plastic playsets for GH any sooner than we will for 3.75. The cardboard Cinema Scenes are it.
4. Hasbro warms up to a request from jedinews to try scaled down podracers with pilots in the GH line.
This has been at the very tip-top of my wants list for years. The tastefully deformed GH line is the only line I could ever imagine succeeding with collectible podracers alongside collectible pilots. Heck, this is the only line I can imagine getting an attractive pod chariot alongside attractive pod engines. Those dumb vehicles can hardly even fit on the screen all at once. I SOOO hope this happens.
5. In the same set of questions, Hasbro doesn't rule out a jedinews request for troop-building Cinema Scenes. Meh. If you don't have enough GH clones, I don't know what to tell you. I'm all for troops as dupes as long as we have to live with dupes anyway, but to actually ask for entire Cinema Scenes to be built around like Obi-wan, one new fig, and 6 orange clones?
6. Also in the same set, we are devastated and stunned to learn that no GH Gunships are in the works for the next couple years, at least.

I guess this leaves Sy Snootles to show up later...
