At last we have our answers to the first batch of quesions we put to Hasbro.  We'd like to thank Hasbro for giving the UK fans a chance to get their questions answered here at Jedi News. 

Please keep sending in your questions for the next Q&A (take the link above or on the left hand menu), we need your questions this week please!

1.  Will Hasbro ever revisit the Jedi Council again?  This could be  made as two Battle Packs or like the forthcoming Battlefront II  Multipacks.   Each would include 6 figures and the relevant bases.  It was very hard to get all six of these when released and it would be nice to get a complete set from Episode I, II or III rather than the mixed characters we now have (over the six sets).  Also, a lot of the Jedi’s released on single cards do not include knee articulation so this would be a great way of updating some figures and allow them to sit on the council chairs.

It's unlikely we will revisit the sets as constructed, since we have generaly moved on to new themes with the multi-packs, and some of these characters (such as Oppo) are starting to filter back out there in other ways.  Interesting idea though - these older Jedi could certainly use an articulation upgrade at some point.

2.  There are a couple of items only available on the Hasbro Shop website in the US which don’t ship to the UK.  The items in question are the new 3¾” figure stands (40 stands per pack), first made available at Celebration IV, and the figure clamshells available in packs of 10.  Many UK fans would like to get their hands on these but have no chance other than having to resort to eBay.  Any chance you’ll bring these over to this side of the pond?

When (and if) HasbroToyShop has a business unit for Europe, they will be made available.  Until then, it cannot be made available in any way other than the current one.

3.  Would you ever consider doing a “build your own Clone set” in 3¾” size.   This could be in the form of a Kamino Battle Pack that could include
a few different pairs of arms and legs, different torso’s and helmet’s.  You
could also include different accessories and weapons.  This would allow you to build the ultimate custom clone and would be a big hit with fans.

It's an interesting idea.  We'll see how well the Clone with snap-on armor is received this Fall before going more wide-spread with the theme.
