You asked the questions and here's the answers to the 10th batch of questions and our second batch for 2008.  Thanks to Hasbro for giving the UK fans a chance to get their voices heard and their questions answered here at Jedi News, the UK's premiere Star Wars fan site.

Hasbro have also sent this note for Collectors too...

We have previously announced that there would be three waves of our 30th Anniversary basic figures in Spring.  That has now been changed - there will be only two.  The last wave (on shelf approx. early March) will be The Force Unleashed wave.  Due to some last minute delays, the previous third wave has been picked up and moved to the new Fall basic figure line. Nothing will be bumped from the Fall line....these will just be added in. Fans should not worry as all figures will be coming to the shelf, including General Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Saesee Tiin, Clone Scuba trooper, and more.  More details on this assortment will be released at Toy Fair.  Similarly, due to production delays, we are pushing back the debut of the next wave of comic packs (including Anakin/Durge and Asaaj/Tol Skorr) until fall as well, but all announced packs *will* be coming out.

Also, previously we announced that the new Obi-Wan and Darth Vader/Anakin figures from our Wave 1 '08 30th Anniversary Wave (now shipping to retail) would not have new articulation.  In fact, they do indeed have enhanced hip articulation (ball and socket) and are great upgrades over the original. Collectors should look to these for their increased poseability.

Thanks for sending in your questions and keep them coming for the next Q&A (take the link above or on the left hand menu), we need your questions by next Friday, 8th February please.

Read on for the Questions and Answers...

1. The Ultimate Battle Packs seem to have proved a big success in the US and from the pictures we've seen they look amazing and such good value too.  The discussion in the last couple of Q&A's has suggested we 'might' get to see some additional Ultimate Battle Packs this autumn.  We asked a while back if we in the UK could get these and you told us that we'd have to see how they sold in the US.  Based on their success and possible new sets coming can we ask that these first two sets be re-issued here in the UK along with any new sets too?

We are currently working on getting them into retail for this year, although this has not been confirmed as of yet.  In any case, we are working toward making sure that all of our exclusives are available, or at least offered, to retailers in Europe as well.  Even if they are offered, it does not mean that they will be accepted by buyers due to cost, timing, and specific audience, and some items still may not have a home. We are working hard to follow through on the promise of enhanced distribution throughout Europe though.

2. The Shadow Troopers two pack (in Order 66 packaging which looks awesome) has been announced as being available at JediCon in March. It doesn't mention anywhere though that this is an exclusive to that event only.  Is that a mistake or will this be available in any others places and if so where\when?

The 2-pack will debut exclusively at the Jedi Con. Whether or not it is available at another venue has not been determined yet.

3. Can we ask about the availability in the UK of the Galactic Heroes Cinema Scenes, Cantina (2 sets) and Jabba's Throne Room, that were discussed at Celebration Europe?  Also, will the Galactic Hero's poster being offered at HasbroToyShop.com be available here at some point?

The Cantina cinema scenes will be available soon at Toys 'R Us, if they are not already on shelf.  The Jabba set, unfortunately, did not make it into the lineup for this year, but it will likely return to the lineup in the future…if not this year, then perhaps the next.
