Galactic Hunter: What are the odds of single man swoop/speeder vehicles (i.e. the $9.99/Deluxe) price range coming back in 2008 since there won't be a "Vintage" premium line?

HASBRO: We will not be introducing a "deluxe" $9.99 price point next year. Past results of this format combined with costing pressures have made us look elsewhere for the solution of getting gear/accessories out.  Instead, we will be infusing speeders into the Battle Pack format, starting in Spring. "Mini vehicles" like these are something we plan to keep in the line for a long time.

Galactic Hunter: With the Clone Wars television series hitting our TV (and potentially other multimedia concepts) next year, are we going to be blessed with some television commercials for the toy line? (A lot of us are fans of the vintage toy commercials, which we pray Hasbro still has somwhere. Not to squeeze in another question, but we'd like to see them in some digitized form someday - even just on StarWars.Hasbro.com as flash video.)

HASBRO: We ran a continuous loop of the toy commercials in booth at Celebration last year, and they were a big hit…..with countless requests to do just as you have asked, Adam. Unfortunately, rights issues prevent us from doing much more with them at this time.  Regarding your first question, we tend to guard our advertising strategy very closely since it reveals competitive information. We will be revealing the CloneWars line at Toy Fair, and your question will probably be answered there.

Galactic Hunter: Was the Commander Gree figure shown at a recent convention a prototype, or was it the final product? If it is indeed a prototype, do you have plans to make any changes to the decoration in the interest of enhancing its accuracy? (The tampo painting/camouflage is off a bit, and our "accuracy checkers" note that the color for the helmet and his suspender straps aren't quite right.)

HASBRO: The Commander Gree shown at the Dallas Fan Days show was, in fact, a pre-production and the final product image is attached.

And a final message from Team Hasbro:

Wow!   It's hard to believe, but here we are at the end of 2007, and what a great year it has been for Star Wars!  What made our job extra fun was being able to interact with everyone via the Q&A (and, in some cases, live and in person at CIV, C Europe, and Comic Con) this year. It’s the passion and dedication displayed by you and your members that keeps the Star Wars collecting community vibrant, informed and excited about the future – and it’s that very same energy that keeps us focused.  We look forward to working with everyone in 2008.  And what a year 2008 is shaping up to be....!

Happy Holidays.... The Star Wars and Indiana Jones Team.
