Hasbro Star Wars Q&A V.27 Bi-Weekly Answers

TGIQ&AF... we need our bi-weekly Hasbro Q&A Friday fix, and it's finally here. This week's menu? Collector-centric multipacks, vehicles, and, yes, more Battle Packs. (You know you love them, too.) So step right up, and let's all inhale the fragant plastic aroma together.

Galactic Hunter: We know the rule about any sorts of sales figures, but... Have the recent larger multi-packs (Delta Squad/Geonosian Warriors, Death Star  Briefing, and Bounty Hunters) been successful enough to keep this "collector market" niche line going even if it's one-off here and there? If so, any hint as to who's next? (Ewoks! Kashyyyk Troopers! Stormtroopers!)

HASBRO: Yes, they have been well-received and you will see additional offerings in this format for the all. Stay tuned for more details at either Celebration IV or (more likely) Comic Con.

Galactic Hunter: There was a hint in the last Q&A sessions that there are MORE new vehicles on the table to be revealed at Celebration IV. Is this accurate? If so, are we talking Speeders, Fighters, or is Hasbro pulling out the Big Guns?

HASBRO: Right now we are looking at new ideas in the $20 (Starfighter Vehicle Assortment) price point as that segment has been very well-received and we want to keep the excitement going. We are open to looking at "big guns" if it makes sense against the backdrop of the Clone Wars.  We are not certain that we will be able to announce anything for Celebration IV. Comic Con would be more likely given the timing.

Galactic Hunter: Now that Hasbro has created those really spiffy Chameleon Droids for the Ambush on Ilum Battle Pack, is there any chance we'll see the classic Imperial Probot finally revisited and updated? Also, what are the odds of getting a clearer, more cloaked Chameleon Droid down the road? We need an updated Barriss Offee at some point, right? (Pair her with Yoda and the amazingly executed ROTS Luminara Unduli, and we've got Battle Pack magic!)

HASBRO: Those are interesting suggestions for sure and the battle pack could be a possibility some time.  No plans for an updated Probot, though.
