We will be conducting a Q&A with Hasbro later this morning. We will have the results posted as soon as we can. In the meantime, here is a preview of the questions will will be asking. We are allowed five questions. We submitted a 6th question in the even that one of the other participants asks one of our first five questions. The sixth question will only be asked if that happens.
1. The The Vintage Collection Mandalorian and Grogu (Maldo Kreis) set appears to be a new expression for TVC forgoing the 6” x 9” card. Can you tell us the dimensions of the card, whether or not it will be numbered, and can we expect more offerings in this expression In the future?
2. With the understanding that the ongoing global shipping crisis can make this question difficult to answer, can you tell us approximately when the revealed Droids figures are supposed to be on shelf?
3. Given that Specialty Waves are designed as an opportunity for new and international collectors to get access to core characters, why does Hasbro seem to choose minor variations of Anakin for this platform instead of the core versions of Anakin / Darth Vader, specifically the 2013 Black Series 3.75” #03 Episode II Anakin, which is desperately needed by those type of collectors?
4. Given the enormous positive response the trooper packs have had, can Hasbro consider making them available to all of the Fan Channel in the future so fans, particularly international fans, have easier access to the product?
5. Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing is being considered one of the products of the year by many Vintage Collection fans, but some have been unable to track it down so far. Do you know if more of this product will be shipping?
6. Since the Vintage Collection returned in 2018, we haven’t seen a single newly tooled Prequel Trilogy figure released in the line. If the current Specialty Wave performs well, would Hasbro consider adding newly tooled PT figures to main line?
