This week we torment Hasbro with questions about The Disturbance at the Lars Homestead; a play-worthy FX X-Wing Fighter; the elusive vac-metal R-3PO figure; and we begin our campaign for the mass release of Yours Truly. (Hey, it beats Ice-Cream Maker Guy!)

GalacticHunter: How many Sandtroopers come with the Disturbance at the Lars Homestead Battle Pack?  What mold is the Sandtrooper based on (The Saga Collection or Evolutions)?  What color are the pauldrons?  — GalacticHunter reader Scott

HASBRO: The pack comes with one Sandtrooper, with a black pauldron.  It is based on the The Saga Collection Sandtrooper (with articulated torso).

[Editor's Note: The whole pack is largely based on the fan-created scene from the fan film Troops, which features an altercation between our beloved Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen who are worried about their missing nephew Luke Skywalker.]

GalacticHunter: How would Hasbro feel about releasing a hybrid of the FX X-Wing (with the homing computer, lights, and some sound) but keeping the cockpit and droid port open for playability?

HASBRO: Interesting idea - we'll look at that next time we plan on getting an X-Wing back out there.  Big complication is that all of the electronic module was removed from the tooling when the vehicle was refitted for use in the exclusives program.  It may not be possible to restore it to the vehicle in an effective way.  We will consider it though - thanks.

[Editor's Note: Not that we've heard any RUMORS about this, no, never! Also, just for reference, it was originally developed without dedicated figures. Ahem!]

Galactic Hunter:  Is there actually a vac-metallized R-3PO (a la the Droid Factory) coming, or was it just a prototype? Also, is there any chance we'll see a silver RA-7 (a la the classic Death Star Droid) in the Build-A-Droid series?

HASBRO: There is not a vac-metallized R-3PO or any other vac-metal buildable droid coming. While we have done tests on the feasibility, it does not meet our wear standards.  There is an excellent chance you will see a silver RA-7 buildable droid in the Droid Factory line!

Galactic Hunter: I hear there's a figure in the likeness of Adam May being developed next week. What are the odds that it could be mass released?

HASBRO: He won't be mass-released.

[Editor's Note: We shall see. I call upon my legions of readers and myspace buddies to inundate Hasbro with requests for a figure of This Charming Man. I even grew out Imperial mutton-chops to make it all more cohesive. Look at that Star Wars style spacer jacket, too. Ice Cream Maker guy didn't put that much effort into it, that's for sure. You all know he'd be perfect for a Battle Pack!]
