SHOW NOTES
|
|
|
|
Most Star Wars fans look back at 2002 and think of Attack of the Clones. Some think first of
Star Wars Celebration 2, the first Star Wars con held in Indianapolis, IN. Marjorie and Arnie
think about their Star Wars Wedding, held four days before the opening of Attack of the Clones,
and the purchases that ensued. They recall this heady time of fandom by looking at a new era of
collecting that was ushered in along with a million soldiers all wearing Temura Morrison's face.
Also this week we catch up on some long overdue voice mails, give a store report, and debate the
worth, or lack thereof, of the 2007 Fan Club Membership Kit.
Finally we have Nathan P. Butler returning to catch us up on what's happening in Star Wars books
and comics for July and August, 2007.
Have you heard about the Hasbro Star Wars Legends fan's choice poll? Hasbro is adding another wave
of repackaged figures to Saga Legends, and fan sites such as Star Wars Action News get to pick which
one! Head to our forums to cast your vote for which figures you'd like to have revisit you on pegs
in 2008!

QUESTIONS HASBRO ANSWERED
|
|
|
|
1) I love the art on the TAC cards. Being a religious and devoted MOC
collector since 1995, and respecting the iconography of the vintage
cards as well, I feel that the TAC line is, by far, the best 3 3/4"
figure card design to date. Does Hasbro have any plans of releasing
any of the 30th Anniversary card character art separately after this
line is complete?
Perhaps in a book form with the original art side by side with it's
card example? If there are no plans yet, then please take this
question as a suggestion.
2) How far ahead does Hasbro need to plan in order to deliver their
choice of figure. Can you talk us through the project management of a
particular figure/ wave/ season. So for example with the TAC when were
the choices made, assignment of sculpts, where are Lucasfilm in the
mix. Part of this is the way Hasbro has been very quick to introduce
new figures into a season, but if the selection was made back in early
2005 I am curious how the system works.
3) We know you've tried selling accessory packs a couple times in the
past with mixed success; with the direct sales opportunity of the
Hasbro online store, and the sales of such items as star cases and
figure stands, are accessory packs something that may be considered
again in 2007 or early 2008?
To find out the answers to these questions,

SAGA LEGENDS FAN'S CHOICE
|
|
|
|
Hasbro is giving fans the unique opportunity to write in candidates for the last wave of
Saga Legends in 2008. Fan sites that participate in the weekly Hasbro Q&A are being asked to
submit a list of 10 figures, chosen by their readers/listeners.
How it works: You can
submit your top 5 figures here
until midnight 8-11. Then we will take all of the unique choices and make another poll for the
top 10. These will then be submitted to Hasbro on August 17.
The list of eligible and ineligble figures can be found in our forum topic.
