According to the Q&A from this past winter regarding the DVD packs,we were told that Yes, as Canada works through inventory, they will get to packs 3, 4, and 5. But then from information gained at the Canadian Joe Con it was said that according to Has

How do you determine when to send solicitations to retailers (thus allowing them to take pre-orders?)  In some cases they seem to go out roughly 3 months before the product becomes available, other times we don't see them until just a few days before

Why were the vehicles in the 25th anniversary line packaged with "windows" rather than the awesome classic art work?  At the time I believe you stated it was because people wanted to see what was inside, yet the ROC toys do come in nice looking

This is your chance! Vote now for the questions to submit to Hasbro!

Remember that these are sent to Hasbro USA - so Canadian only questions will likely get a "we have to talk to Hasbro Canada" answer.

If that is the response we get, I will try to have Hasbro Canada clarify directly with us.


Question 8 should include:


Hasbro Canada, there will be no new product due in Canada until the Movie.

Could you provide some clarification on whether or not DVD sets 3,4 and 5 will be available at Canadian retail? Whether it is before or after the movie doesn't really matter, as long as we know they are coming!


Question 15 Should include

Hasbro Canada consider using the success of the 2009 canadian Joe Con exclusive set as an example to show Canadian retailers how collector communities can play an active and positive role in the growth of the product variety and exclusivities in Canadian stores, and perhaps persuade the big commercial store chains to offer "real" exclusives similar to what Hasbro of USA accomplished with Target when they offered the Tiger Force and Python Patrol vehicle repaints?

Votes are in, thanks as always for setting this up guys.
Let's hope Hasbro puts a little thought into their answers this time around.

[Killjoy]

Why would we ask Hasbro about the DVD box set? If that question did get asked, they would just say they don't have dealings with that. I think that question should be removed.

If you don't like the question then just don't vote for it.

[CADPAT]

As far as Canadian characters are concerned, I've heard that in the movie continuity, Scarlett is Canadian.

[darth cujo]

Hmm, I thought joecanuck had the Q&A set up with Hasbro Canada. Otherwise yeah, the Canada specific questions might not get answered from Hasbro USA. Either way, I voted.

That was originally the case, but then we were put in with the Q&A session that the US does with the sites.

Any Canada specific questions that Hasbro USA can't answer, I will forward to Hasbro Canada.

totally agree, useless question, just like the how many figure waves ones. They won't know what they're going to do until the movie comes out and they see if the figures sell. If they had release dates/sequel news for Resolute they won't wait for the Q&A to remember to tell us about it, that's what press releases are for.

"If you don't like a question just don't vote for it"
Don't worry, I won't. But it looks like all the lame questions are winning. It's funny how mostly everyone slammed the movie stuff a couple of weeks ago and now everyone is buying it and asking for more.

[pdaat]

I put in the one about the SW vs. Joe price point, but I don't think it should really be asked as I doubt we will get a straight answer.  Not that I wouldn't like an answer.

No need to start slamming other people's opinions or questions. That was my question and ironically enough, after I saw some of the other people's questions I didn't vote for my own question.

Again, if you don't like a question, don't vote for it. You might think it's a waste of a question or not like it, but other people might want to know.

On this site everyone has a voice, as long as it doesn't have a negative impact on another board member.

[akpayne]

My vote is in - I couldn't think of a new question this time around.
I do still think we should harass them about the Hasbro Store shipping to Canada.

[darth cujo]

Nothing wrong with pointing out possible flaws in some of the questions. It may cause people to vote in a more informed manner. As long as criticism is constructive and doesn't get personal, I think it's a good thing. As stated everyone has their voice.

Thanks for clarifying Stealth Viper, I wasn't imagining things then!
