30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 'Scum's 2007 report... Oh my!
« on: June 24, 2006, 10:17 PM »

As for the predictions, I do not think the rate is good at all.

I think that other site much announced and was correct on almost every basic figure wave for this year (The Saga Collection).

Do you guys think there will only be four basic figure waves? I am not really interested in concept figures and the Marvel figures are a really odd choice to me. Why not just give basic figures of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, as well? I also am angry with the lack of Stormtroopes, and judging by what Hasbro has said, they do not plan on re-releasing the VOTC Stormtrooper next year. At least I can buy the Sandtroopers now and remove their dirt.

I think Hasbro gave some great details and far better answers this week, with the announcement of more army builders being shipped later this year, the Curved end of the Cantina, possible electronics on new Starfighters, Commander Bacara's Marines in early 2007, and more Vintage-style figures, both Prequel and Original Trilogy.

"Yodasnews: Will we ever see army builder figures packed consistently in cases, regardless of the relevance they may have to the particular "wave" of figures? A considerable amount of collectors love army builders, and to have a few Super articulated Clone Troopers, Stormtroopers (plain white VOTC mold, not dirty like the Sandtrooper #37 from the Saga Collection), Scout Troopers, ect packed in a case would be great.

Hasbro: You bet. This year in fact you'll see more mixing, especially later in the year, and troop builders will be key. However, we haven't created a specific clean Sandtrooper version yet.

YN: Will we see any more Ewoks? Maybe even an Ewok Battle Pack? Maybe a Tusken Raider Battle Pack? Perhaps a Stormtrooper (not Clonetrooper) Battle Pack?

 H: Those are already on our radar, but there is no timetable for them. We have a lot of ideas and not enough space to put them all, but eventually there will be more Ewoks. Probably Ewoks before Tuskens, if that helps..

YN:  Why do we not have the entire line of Star Wars 3" 3/4 product here in FRANCE in our supermarket. Why should we rely on specialized toy shops or the internet to be able to get a complete collection and pay overpriced items ( I mean US customers paid what $8 max when in FRANCE, in US currency, each fig costs $ 13 MINIMUM!) Also why do our neighbors country (Germany and Great Britain ) have the VOTC line in their stores and we could get the George Lucas in Stormtrooper Disguise ?

H: It's up to retailers in EU regions to decide whether to carry the full or a partial line. There are very large collecting bases in both the UK and Germany, so that is why you see more offerings, including many exclusives in these countries. The best I can say is to let your retailer know, that you would like to see them carry more Star Wars collector lines."

The first question is mine. I thought I asked a far better and more understandable question, although they seem confused by my Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper questions.

CHEWIE, I found "Goof off" at Home Depot near the paint area.

22


The Stormtrooper on the left is the VOTC Stormtrooper, and the two in the middle are Sandtroopers with their dirt removed with "Goof off". The one on the right is, obviously, the Sandtrooper without his dirt removed.

I think they look really good.

I currently only have one. However, I want a total of eight, four of which I will customize into Stormtroopers by removing the dirt with "Goof off".

And last, put me down as hugely disappointed in no VOTC Stormie re-release however I agree that putting him onto basic cards somehow is fine...  Their reply could've just meant he isn't coming out on the VOTC cardback again and all that, as he is obviously being used for the Sandie...  I just hope that's their basic Stormie they offer us sometime in the figure in the BASIC line.  That's just even better of course.  That was a sort of foggy question and answer really.

I did not think my question would have been chosen. Otherwise, I would have put some more thought into it.

That VOTC Stormtrooper question was mine, by the way. It was cool to see it answered, even if it was not the answer I wanted.

I am definitely disappointed by the apparent cancellation of the Yavin wave. Hopefully we will see another Original Trilogy Collection line with new sculpts or, rather, another twelve Vintage-style figures.

Hey Hasbro! / Re: Questions for Hasbro?
« on: June 5, 2006, 09:48 PM »
Will there ever be the release of any playsets? They could be modular, a retool of the Vintage Death Star playset, anything.

Will we see a return of the Evolutions line anytime soon, and more Vintage-style VOTC/VSC figures?

I am fairly certain the "new" toys that 4 inches mentioned are going to be in the Commemorative DVD packs and the Tin sets.

This wave really does not interest me, save for Gragra and maybe Obi-Wan Kenobi since I do not have a The Phantom Menace version yet.
