SHOW NOTES

|
|
Holy Crap! What is Hasbro trying to do to us? We go for months, MONTHS,
with only a steady stream of Saga Legends on the pegs and then, BAM, waves 4
and 5 hit us back to back. And as if that wasn't bad enough, only Wave 4
has the Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures. Where are the wave 5 figures
hitting? We find out this week in the Star Wars Action News voice mails.
Also on this week's show, the latest book in the Legacy of the Force series
was released recently--Inferno by Troy Dante, er, Troy Denning. Each book
in the Legacy of the Force series has upped the ante, and Inferno is no
different. Arnie sat down with Troy to discuss some of the finer points of
Inferno, and Brock joins us this week to provide an Inferno book review.

QUESTIONS HASBRO ANSWERED
|
|
|
|
1) Hasbro has had some very imaginative and clever ads over the
past number of years. Some of my favorites are where you mention the
duration of screen time the most obscure figures have. Is there any
chance of you putting a gallery of those on the Starwars.hasbro.com site
or elsewhere for people who have never seen some of these ads? (Ed
note: if you have these images handy but don't want to spend the web
design resources, swactionnews.com would be happy to host the gallery
for you :-))
2) With the new animated series coming out, many collectors are
concerned about continuing support for the OT specifically, and the
movies in general. Can you tell us what plans you have currently, if
any, to produce figures concurrently for the movies and the new series
(two separate figure lines, or one figure line covering all sources,
similar to how Saga supported Episode II and others), and without
getting too specific, what percentage of figures will be in support of
the new Clone Wars series vs. the movie saga (50/50 split, 70% Clone
Wars/30% Movies, 100% Cone Wars, etc)
3) With the latest round of Saga Legends voting, were there any
results which surprised you or came out of left field? Has this voting
created any additional new or resculpted figure or accessory
opportunities for the future?
To find out the answers to these questions,
listen to this week's episode!
