Topic: Hasbro Q&A

[ghostskull18]

Dillon,

Hasbro hates it when folks try to send them direct messages, matter of fact if you say you are from a particular site or a site's representative they remove you from the list of sites that get to submit questions. Arnie from swactionnews.com has up a podcast where he almost got kicked out of the q and a's because someone said they were from his site and tried asking hasbro quesitons directly.

So please folks, let the SW Sites do the asking. Now I am not saying they will give you a straight answer, but if we want to continue to be able to continue asking questions we need to make sure we go through Hasbro's PR folks who are the "gatekeepers" of all the information. And please folks if you do decide to contact Hasbro youself, do not misrepresent yourself as someone from this site or we could loose our q and a ability, as much as it is anyhow.

i'm so sorry i didn't know, but now i know and it won't happen again

Did we get any answers this time?

[Tamer]

Yepper Rune, we sure did. 

1) Will "minor" supporting characters who were released as POTF2/POTJ sculpts be revisited with the vastly improved Legends/Vintage line articulation?  Primary candidates for this treatment would be Lobot (ESB), Sio Bibble (TPM), Garindan (ANH), Naboo Security (guards and officer; TPM), Ayy Vida (AotC), and numerous others.

Thanks for the suggestions…Lobot is a definite possibility for the line.

2) Since now there is a correct paint app version of commander colt, are you planning on re-releasing the arc troopers battle pack with this more correct version or is a 4 figure battle pack too much to ask for in a future release?

We've added this to our list of potentials…thanks for the idea.

Sounds like they liked the Lobot idea. Don't forget we submit our next round on the 19th so lets get some more good ones going!

Hasbro really screwed us over with just answering two questions.

Hasbro, will collectors see any new jedi/sith figures in the future?
I'd really like to see B'dard Tone made into a figure!

[Rune Haako]

Hasbro, can we ever expect to see a SW:TCW Battle Droid and Super Battle Droid with the kind of articulation that the Commando Droid figure has? Which is a great figure by the way!

Sounds like they once again waffled on all the answers, giving soft bullshit responses because they are just paying lip service.  What a waste.  Good questions for sure, but their lack of a quality answer is not at all surprising.

Thats all they answer now Rune.

And Pat, at least it wasn't a flat out no this time, but I understand what you mean. Sounds like Lobot might be a possibility though.

thanks for asking  my question. List of potentials.....................more like a sure fire seller if you ask me.

well, they answer 2 from this site, 2 from RS, 2 from yakface, 2 from another site, 2 from another, by the time they are done they have answered several pointless questions with no real answers....

[Phatty]

Shawn, I do agree with you, it's way better than a "no."  I just wish they would at least expunge on their answers a bit, give us a bit of insight.  The answers just feel cheap and generic, kind of like one-liners out of a book they read somewhere.

LOL. I totally agree with you. At least they are consistent across the other sites too. That is why if we can get specific and word our questions well we usually get better answers because they can't wiggle out of it.

[safewing]

just a thought here

If all you can ask per answer session is 2 questions does it come down to this?

1. many of us want to know what is being produced/planned

2. request for a figure/vehicle/creature to be made/considered /corrected

Would it be better if the Shipyard staffers created the 2 official questions to ask Hasbro so no personal opinion or offence is given.

Set up a forum for everyone to state their case for the next answer session.

Or is this what happens already?

[Tamer]

Safewing that is exactly what this thread is for and I will admit sometimes we do a good job and sometimes I help out a bit.
