Topic: Hasbro Q&A

Dear Hasbro;
  We have heard rumors of a newly tooled ATST being released this fall. Can you tell us what price point we are looking at for this item and if possible, if it will include driver figures or inspire the release of a 2 or more driver Battle pack to man up the ATST?

[Tamer]

I like that question too Clint.

Man, I reread this post.

I'm still upset that they jumped the price on joes from 4.99 to 6.99 basically because they could.

sucks.

but then again, I had about a hundred figures I took back to walmart the day the prices went up, maybe a nice 40 percent profit, to a gift card, but still,

For the life of me I can't understand why!

Because they found out how fast they were selling and didn't want to miss out on bigger profits!

I thought you could only get back the amount you paid?

[DocOutlands]

With no receipt, you get back whatever the current price of the item is.  But you don't get it back in cash, only on a store gift-card.  Which can be used at the Murphy station outside to buy gas at a 3-cent/gallon discount.

LOL. Fett, you got me. Would it be wrong to add this to the question?

Can we assume this will be Empire Strikes Back themed or Return of the Jedi?

[narceron]

Hehe,

Can we also assume that no matter how loyal as fans we are, you will continue to rake us over the coals with higher and higher prices, even as the price of plastic plummets?

[Tamer]

LOL. Good point, but one we all know they will never answer.

[narceron]

nahh, they answer it with every price increase, with ever over priced, under articulated toy.

But then again, I have become a product sniper, only picking out the good stuff, and in small quantities, so I am already giving them a hard time,

[DocOutlands]

I must be a product machine-gunner, then.  I only go after the good stuff, but then I go in large quantities...

Any questions for hasbro?

I would prefer no theme per say just make it gray the color of metal.
If they go ROTJ it alienates ESB fans if you go ESB then you know, it's best to leave it neutral and let the fan paint the theme he wants. But i guess that would be very difficult inside the box!

Lets face it, they will give it a theme one way or another, but I do agree with your point Fett!

I've only been at this for a couple of months,so I don't know if this has been asked before. I have some loose ones that will not fit on the stands. I have both sizes 1/8 and 3/32 stands and the posts are to large or the holes are to small. Is there a third size? Should I just enlarge the hole? For some reason I can't pass up a Stormtrooper I don't have!   Thom

Thom that might be a better question for our custom experts here rather than hasbro.  We could ask them what stands they feel best fit thier figures as far as universal lines I guess.
