Title: SPRING 2009 Q&A With HASBRO!
Post by: Stealth Viper on April 24, 2009, 11:01:01 PM
It's that time of year again, time for our Quarterly Q&A session with Hasbro! These questions are submitted to Hasbro USA, with Canadian Specific questions being routed back to Hasbro Canada.

These questions should be different from the ones asked in the thread to be answered at the con next week, as those Canadian specific questions will be directly answered by Hasbro Canada on May 2nd in Hamilton.

This thread will remain open until Thursday the 30th, at which time it will be locked and voting will begin.

Lets ask some real good questions, ones that can't be easily answered with a canned response. Put some thought into it folks!

I think it's the timing.

With the Q & A this weekend at the Convention, people don't know what to ask.

Will the new 25th 7-packs be available in Canada, either online or at retail?

What about more Resolute figures coming to Canada?

What is the future of Resolute in general?

Also, Stealth - you may want to look in the Hasbro Q & A section. I don't know when the cut off was for those, but questions were still being asked last week.

That's a question you'll have to ask Shout! as the are putting it out. Hasbro only licensed it to them, they do not control distribution

Moving my own question from the Con Q&A - Will the TRU and Wal-Mart movie exlcusive packs be coming to Canada?

Or at least, I hope they are out in the US my mid-July when I go to Viriginia Beach for my sister's wedding.

Will Canada ever get American packaging?

Mike, I looked at your avatar, and now I have to change my pants.

Will there be any more mail-in offers?

For those curious about HasbroToyShop...Hasbro is now saying this summer is a possibility (though it's not a confirmed date).  This info came from a recent Transformers Q&A from Cybertron.ca.

Shout! has stated that they will be distributing the Transformers G1 series to Canada (no word on specific retailers).  I'm not sure if that also applies for G.I. Joe but you can ask the guy responsible for assembling the sets here (http://http://www.shoutfactory.com/community/1552/thread.aspx).

#1) How many waves of vehicles (Alpha, Bravo, and Echo class) will be released for the movie line?
#2) Are there plans for any play sets beyond "The PIT"?
#3) We've recently seen a number of images of Resolute based figures.  Are these figure still in the works, and if so, how will they be released (store exclusives?)
#4) Awhile back you told us that you had plans for Dial-Tone?  Can you elaborate?  I realize the character has been taken in a different direction for the comics, but is there any hope of a classic inspired figure for us Dial-Tone fans?
#5) Any updates on the Attack/Defense on Cobra Island 7 packs?  When can we pre-order them?

1. The stickers from the new vehicles don't stick very well on the plastic used on the re-issue missiles. They always come off after a few days. Can they fix this?
2. Why do Resolute figures have bigger heads than normal 25th figures and why are movie line figures shorter than normal 25th figures?
3. Is Hasbro going to come out with any more 12" waves now that Sideshow is doing it?
4. Now that Resolute has aired and is a huge success, when is the next installment coming out?
5. Were the black head comic pack Destros a deliberate 'chase' figure or an error?
6. Ask them if they can please start putting the stand hole back in the heel of the figures not the toe, because that is way more stable..

7. What happened to Direct To Consumer Exclusive 3-3/4" Lt. Falcon, Munitia, Python Patrol Copperhead, Outback and Night Viper? I assume it's canned because no one wants the old articulation and they already made a 25th python Copperhead and Falcon. Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere. They are still listed as available for pre-order at bigbadtoystore.com, but they've pushed back the date.

resolute just got released for christ sake. let hasbro take in feedback from resolute and mull over some decisions. ask questions that have to do with gripes about the 25th line. dvd short pack and distribution problems. like the poor distribution and lack of wave 1-4, 6 and 13 canadian carded figures and the lack of exclusives available to canadians. i would really like to know why the wraith variant did not get released on canadian card. i bought 5 sealed cases from wal-mart hoping to score the figure but hasbro screwed us again. and of course where the hell are the 7 packs

thanks a lot hasblo

sorry if it sounds harsh. i have seen too many resolute questions on other sites
