Hey, so great news - the Dec 4th session was originally looking to be lost since a technical glitch kept the questions from being sent out on time last year
. But it looks like we got 2 out of the 3 questions that were previously submitted answered after all for today's answers from Hasbro (the third question will get re-submitted for the upcoming Feb 4 deadline just to get myself all caught up).
And here are the two:
1. In one of the last Q&A sessions it was mentioned that Hasbro would be delivering the complete line of 2009 Clone Wars figures up here to Canada as not to leave us snowbound collectors in the annual lurch of the missing last wave or two. I pretty much did a back-flip when I read that. Well, December is right upon us and we have just received what appears to be Wave 10 with Adventure Padme at all our major retailers (WalMart/Zellers/Toys R Us) and I'm looking forward to seeing Wave 11 in the next few weeks.
Can you sense I'm building up to something?
What happened to Wave 9 with Luminara (who has been very prominent in Season 2) and Argyus? Only a few weeks ago we got Wave 8 but now we've jumped to Wave 10. I live in a major market and I'm very diligent with my scouting habits so I'm pretty certain it never made it here or if it did it was a very small amount. Any ideas where those cases might be or what the chances of seeing Luminara and folk repacked in a different wave assortment?
Answer:
Add another routine to your gymnastics, then, because we have some good
news. The 0422 case pack version which includes Luminara and Argyus just
arrived in our Montreal warehouse. However, it will be in English
language packaging so will not be distributed across all of Canada
(Quebec, for instance). Happy hunting!
2. what are the chances of seeing delta squad or omega squad remade with the articulated legs of the new evolution commando? would they ever be released on single card, like scorch?
Answer:
It is certainly something that we have been thinking about, although we
are also aware that fans would like to see us update the torso as well
before re-release. We do think demand would be there for these guys, but
we haven't found a good opportunity to slot them into the lineup yet.
Hopefully one day. It's more likely that we'll do a boxed set again,
since the last one proved very popular.
