Aber ausser Han und Vimdin, kommen die anderen nicht in nächster Zeit.

Here are how the parts break out of the "true" six new figures slotted for this wave:
Luke Snowspeeder (HK-50 head); AT-AT Driver (HK-50 body); Bespin Wing Guard
(HK-50 L Arm); Willrow Hood (HK-50 R Arm); Zuckuss (HK-50 L Leg); Concept Art Snowtrooper (HK-50 R Leg).

The other six "redundant" parts are:
Snowtrooper (HK-50 L Leg); R2-X2 (HK-50 R Leg); Commander Bacara (HK-50 Body); Plo Koon (HK-50 L Arm); Agen Kolar (HK-50 R Arm); Commander Deviss (HK-50 Head).

** We canvassed a few members of the team and did not find a unanimous top 5 list. This reflects not only the wide variety of interests, but the high quality of choices still at large in the figure world. In no particular order: Snoova (resculpt); the actual "Sith" species; Mandalorian Neo Crusader; Bastila Shan; Joe Johnston concept Imperial Guard; Phase 2 Dark Trooper (2 votes so technically the #1 choice here); Guri; Weequay Skiff Master; Widdle & Oochee 2-pack; Yuuzhan Vong (more slender sculpt); Luke in Emperor Guard disguise (resculpt); super-articulated Rancor with elbows and knees (hey, that's not eligible!); Nera Dantels; super-articulated AT-ST driver; Bettybot; female Stormtrooper from Legacy 0; Jaxxon; Ponda Baba; Dr. Evazon; Aqualish Technician (Clone Wars); Nelvaan Warrior (mutated - he'd be HUGE!); Shado Vao.

A. We made the decision to go clean with the troopers because of the extraordinary cost our factories were asking to actually put that "ditry" deco on. The cost-cutting elsewhere to be able to add these paint opps is very large, and we did not feel the sacrifice was worth it. Same issue came up with the Sandtrooper, and we elected to keep the parts the set came with rather than cut elsewhere.

As we plan 2011, we do not see the concept figures playing a primary role, but we will be considering them as a future sub-theme going forward.

A1. We would love to eventually offer quality, super-articulated versions of *all* of the pilots from the Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, and the Battle of Endor, along with cool EU squadrons like Rogue, Wraith and even Dagger. However, fans will have to be patient and we may never get all the way there (not for lack of trying!).

The reality is that there will be fewer multi-pack options available to us, unlike we had this past year with Evolutions and some exclusives to help out. We'll look for additional ways to bring out more pilots, but patience will always prevail. Of the characters you cite, Horton Salm and Grizz Frixx would be some of our top priorities.

Q3: Reports are circulating that Hasbro reps are participating in their own version of Order 66 and are wiping out certain "pegwarming" figures from the aisles (namely the Yarna's, a few of the Cantina Patrons and others). Will this "purge" continue to include some of the survivors in the blue/white Saga Legends line (Saesee Tiin, C-3PO, Plo Koon) as well?

A3: We can confirm that our store reps are indeed pulling back a number of collector-targeted figures that have built up at retail over the past year. The intention is to provide a one-time correction for the pull back in collector spending that has resulted in lower sell-through on the more narrowly collector-targeted like Yarna, the Organas, Cantina patrons, and the like. We'll still continue to produce these figures (like Willrow) but our release volumes will be tempered to ensure the same issues don't persist. However, we won't be doing any pullbacks against the 100% kid-focused Saga Legends line. Going forward, Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon has been removed from the assortment and replaced with different characters.

501st Dutch Garrison Disarmed?


Yodasnews.com reader Arno a.k.a Cam Katarn reports in:

Last weekend eight members of the 501st Dutch Garrison were disarmed by the Dutch Police.

During a charity event, which meaning was to cheer up sick children, Stormtroopers of the Dutch 501st regiment were totally surprised when a couple of Police agents took off their E-11 Blaster rifles, because they could be dangerous (?). According to a Police informer, the weapons were based on former world war two weapons and so could be use to threaten people or worst.

The eight 501st members also risk to get charged ¤ 270,- for modifying a toys weapon. About the Dutch Police, I really like to quote a sarcastic Jake Lloyd here, they are so charming and intelligent, ah awesome people!

2) Does anybody at Hasbro even realize that EVERY Clone Trooper figure made thus far in the new Animated Series line is wrong? Every Clone has incorrect armor on the forearms and biceps. Did any of the designers even watch the animated series or at least look at reference photos of some sort? Every figure made thus far has the elbow armor extend down from the bicep. That's wrong! In the animated show, the Clone armor elbow armor extends up from the forearm. The only figure to get this right is the awesome General Kenobi and the awful new Mace Windu - and neither of them are Clones, yet somehow you got the armor correct for them.

I'm sure it's futile to ask this, but do you have any plans to correct this mistake in the future? Obviously you already have the tooling from the General Kenobi figure, all you would need to do is to replace the forearms from the Clones with the forearms from Kenobi.

A) We do realize they are wrong. When we first designed the Clone, we had only static model sheets to go from, before they had been fully animated. We assumed that the armor would be like the EpII and EpIII armor in that the elbow guard would be attached to the bicep. Well, we were thrown a curve and it was instead attached to the forearm. We have been playing constant catch-up ever since with the Clone tools running at full capacity. Adapting the Obi-Wan forearms would mean excessive duplication of tools, which based on the continued high demand for Clones does not seem needed. There eventually will be an updated, 100% newly sculpted Clone with the corrected armor coming down the road.

• Es wird dieses Jahr keine „Ultimate Battle Packs“ oder „big warehouese club sets“ geben, sagt Hasbro.
• Von Malakili (Rancor Keeper) & Willrow Hood (Icecreammaker Guy) wird es etwa die gleiche Anzahl geben - welche 30 % niedriger ist, als die kleinste Menge, die je von 2005 bis Frühling 2008 produziert worden ist. Hasbro formuliert das so :

  HASBRO: They were both released in the same quantity - the lowest of any fall releases, which is at least 30% lower than the lowest-run figures we released from 2005 until Spring 2008. We think that we have found the "floor" for these more niche figures.

• Die AOTC-Figuren von 2002 wurden mit „pre-posing“ ausgestattet, um den Figuren mehr „excitement“ zu geben, um zu kompensieren, daß (nach Meinung von Hasbro) daß der Film sehr wenig „energy and pop“ hatte.
• Aus dieser Reihe sind Zam Wessell und Barriss Offee die nächstgeplsanten Updates, und ein „Outlander“ Anakin ebenfalls irgendwann.
• Für Zam Wessell würden sie wahrscheinlich einen zweiten Kopf herstellen.
• Genauer Wortlaut :
  

  The decision was made back then to add excitement to the figures by adding pre-posing; in a way, this compensated for the lack of excitement of the EpI presentation where the figures had very little energy and pop. You have to admit, the EpII figures do look great in package, but when they get on shelf suffer from not being generally posable being stuck in their positions. We do have a plan to systematically update core characters - and of the ones you mention Zam Wessel and Barriss Ofee have the best chance of getting upgraded in the next couple of years. The Kaminoans and Boba, we feel, are generally fine as is (not and not really preposed) so we have no plans to go there. Eventually, we will probably get to a new Outlander Anakin but he's not a priority right now.

• Hasbro hat in deren Prioritätsliste für Updates/Upgrades den Rebel Fleet Trooper relativ weit oben - und Captain Antilles ziemlich weit unten. Bei Hasbro erfreut man sich immernoch an der alten Skulptur von ’04.

• Hasbro hat sich einen kleinen Veränderungsvorschlag für die Abzeichen der imperialen Offiziere angehört, und wird da vielleicht eines Tages etwas dran ändern.
• Eine längere Antwort zur BAD-Lage lasse ich erst einmal unübersetzt:
  

  A. You have asked a few questions here, so we'll take them in order. What you see on an individual store level isn't representative of what's happening at a national level. The way that replenishment should work, since it's all automated, is that when inventory gets low an order gets triggered to send more of that assortment to the stores, either from the retail distribution centers or a new order from Hasbro. Trust us, we have staggering quantities of Droid Factory figures that we are unable to get to stores because of the quantity of figures still in the channel; we are not holding back and in fact doing everything we can to get the new waves out (including a recent pullback of unmoving figures to help us"recalibrate" the brand). All new waves can always be found through online retailers; if you can't find them at retail near you there are other ways to get figures, and they count the same for us either way. It's certainly possible that some stores get "stuck" but we do not have a way of seeing that other than fans sending us store numbers to check out (which does happen...please tell us about the Wal-Mart and Target stores in question, with store numbers). As for the line look, we take our cue from the direction Lucasfilm has given us as they create the line (we do consult, but ultimately do not decide on the line look). Your comments on preference for the Vintage/Saga/30th line is noted; we certainly know that these were popular lines with collectors. All things being equal since they all had the same line look, Clone Wars and Saga Legends flew while the Legacy/Droid Factory struggled and continues to do so (as have all other assortments with a more narrow collector focus like Evolutions, Comic Packs, and many exclusives). Our collectors have been hit hard by the economic issues, and we are doing our best to find the new baseline (critical for calling figures such as Willrow Hood), streamline the range so more fans can reasonably afford to collect everything in a year, and look toward key touch points for collectors to re-engage. It's been a tough year for our collector base overall, and hope that we can reward those who have stuck with us with some outstanding figures and vehicles, and lure back those who may be on the sidelines with an incredibly tempting lineup next year and on into the future. Stay tuned!

• Die 30 Dollar für das Republic Gunship von vor 4 Jahren konnte aus verschiedensten Gründen nicht gehalten werden. Hasbro sagt dazu :

  The $30 price point was four years ago, and it's a different world now. We have not been able to hold the same prices with our vendors due to the amount of materials, labor, and tooling. Also, the markup may be different by retailer. Retailers have complete freedom in setting their retail pricing. If the ship is unsuccessful, it will certainly inhibit our ability to bring that one back out again.

• Zur aktuellen Lage unübersetzt:

  SSG: In light of several answers by Hasbro stating that sales for the collector-focused Legacy Collection line have fallen off sharply in the last year, causing sales bottlenecks at retail, there have been several theories about why this is happening. Some theories include the simple "the price went up too high for the market to bear in an economic downturn" theory; there's the one saying the casual collecting market (kids, parents, casual collectors) have abandoned the movie lines for The Clone Wars line; there's a theory arguing the Build-A-Droid concept has taken the wind out of sails of every type of collector who isn't a completist and knows they will have a hard time completing their droids; and there's another argument saying that the line over the last year has focused on so many redos that don't quite hit the mark, as well as new figures coming in exclusive packs that require buying old figures as well, that it's choked off interest from the main collector fanbase. Does Hasbro subscribe at all to any of these theories as to why the TLC line has run into so much trouble, or if not, why does the SW team think this problem has come up for the line?
  Hasbro: We will address your assertions one by one: 1. The retail SRP increased by $1 with the launch of The Legacy Collection. We did research before we made this decision to understand what impact there would be, and it was minimal. However, we'll return to the downturn shortly. 2. It's not a case of shifting to the Clone Wars. Although some of this may have happened, it's a case of the collectors dollars being pulled out of the Star Wars collecting hobby altogether. We have seen this in all collector targeted SKUs such as Evolutions, Comic Packs, Titanium, and exclusives, all of which hit at the same time, last Fall. The degree to which collectors may have shifted to Clone Wars would only further put Legacy in trouble, though. 3. It's possible the casual fan, who picks and chooses their figures and is not compelled to buy every one, feels "incomplete" when they have uncompleted droid parts and they don't respond to the "pressure" to get figures they may not have wanted to complete their droids. We made the droid parts so they are a bonus and can be combined randomly for fun (unlike other buildable figures) so we discount this a little bit. 4. We have tried to minimize both of these, and don't think this is what has stopped people from collecting. The problem lies in your very first point - the economy. Many collectors simply stopped collecting last Fall and have not yet come back (if they will). We are working hard to get them back, and we think that what we have lined up next year will be our best attempt. As long as the economy is looking better, and the folks on the sidelines feel they can join the hobby again, we promise incredible satisfaction with what we have coming up.
