SHOW NOTES
|
|
|
|
We have another jam packed show leading up to Star Wars Celebration 4. As
we bring you all the collecting news surrounding Star Wars’ 30th anniversary
we just cannot keep the show under an hour, but it is worth it as this week
we interview Steve Sansweet and bring you some breaking news about Star Wars
Celebration 4. And there’s an interview with Frank D’iorio of Industiral
Lignts and Magic and NiubNiubsUniverse.com who is having a diorama building
workshop at Star Wars Celebration 4, his third celebration workshop in a
row!
Plus Scott from Tulsa’s store report, listener voice mails, and a look back
at 1993 when Star Wars was on the upswing and the dark times were over and
Arnie reflects back on one of his favorite video games of all time.

QUESTIONS HASBRO ANSWERED
|
|
|
|
1) This question may be going back a bit, but... Yakface recently reported that the Royal
Guard TIE Interceptor titanium you made was originally from the game Star Wars Galaxies.
This made me wonder about what I feel is the oddest item ever released by Hasbro--the
Cruisemissile Trooper. Did this have any source from a game, book, comic, or anything, or
was it a "Hasbro Original"? If the latter, is there any remaining memory of if Lucasfilm
had any questions about it being created, etc.?
2) With the success of the concept art figures, has any consideration been given to concept
art vehicles in the Titanium line? If so would this be a 2007 possibility or would it be 2008
and beyond?
3) Also with the success of the concept art figures, is there a chance this line may continue
beyond the originally planned figures in 2007, either as part of the regular line or in some
other form like multi-packs or exclusives? There is a wealth of art from design contributors
like Joe Johnson, Nilo Rodis Jamero, or Phil Tippett, or even something from the well of art
created for the prequels. Might we see any of this in plastic in the future?
To find out the answers to these questions,
listen to this week's episode!
Got a question for Hasbro?
Post it here
and maybe it will be answered by Hasbro!

The Legacy Revealed Contest
Thirty years ago, an unheralded film known as Star Wars opened in theaters and took audiences
on a groundbreaking journey to a galaxy far, far away. It instantly seized the public's
imagination, and three decades later still claims that grasp. Now, a new special from The History
Channel seeks to understand why the emotional impact of the Star Wars Saga remains as relevant as
ever.
The History Channel, Electric Artists, and Star Wars Action News have partnered for a contest
in anticipation of this program. You will have the chance to win a great prize pack.
