Well they didn't have anyone to talk to at the Wednesday Night Party so they asked us to send in the questions and this is what we got back. And before you ask yes I sent them all.

Questions Submissions New York Comic Con 2015
With the success of your 6" TFA TIE Fighter offering, how soon could there be a TFA X-Wing to chase it? Perhaps even do decos of both colors (regular white and blue and then the Black Stealth version)?
Steve Evans: The reception has been overwhelming. We expect it to do very well at retail, and this is a play format that we're very excited about and wish to continue.
Will you ever come back with the Vintage Collection with vintage style cardbacks? Is there any truth to the rumors we are hearing that perhaps Toys R US will get an exclusive Vintage Style Version of the Black Series?
Joe Ninivaggi: The rumor is not true. Vintage collection will definitely come back in the future when the time is right.
Why so many 6" clone troopers and no battle droids? These guys need some clankers to fight!
Steve Evans: As Army builders, the Clone TRoopers have proven much more popular than Battle Droids.
When can we finally expect to see some killer 3.75" playsets? Other brands are doing this in the toy aisle and are obviously succeeding... Imaginext is now known for this, and even Terraria has a playset that kids are all over - why is Hasbro ignoring this market? Or why not at least try simple plastic "background walls" that snap together and each one comes with a trooper? As long as the quality was there, the market would support these. We are literally starved for display environments. If you ever do it, don't give it a half-hearted effort. That's just guaranteeing a fail. Can you work out something with Disney or just allow another company that wants to give this a shot do it? We've been waiting for 20 years for this to happen now...
Steve Evans: We've certainly injected a lot of playset values into the new Falcon, with the interactivity of fixing the Hyperdrive. Subtle storytelling. We like the idea of creating vehicles that come into playsets because when they're closed up they're a vehicle.
Articulation and attention to detail can turn a bland design into something special. For example... the 5POA Resistance Trooper looks pretty sad (sorry). But the 6" version looks amazing. Can we expect to see a 3.75" version with representative details as the upcoming 6" scale one aka the Black Series Line?
Steve Evans: We acknowledge that dealing with characters that have visors can improve and we're looking to improve it.
Am I disappointed in the way they answered, yes. Still, for not being able to have an ISY Staffer there they did take a few minutes to respond to a few questions. Yes, I am shaking my head at the apparent disconnect there seems to be between the brand team and the product, but we need to be professional and courteous in the way we respond to this. Any blatant flaming will be deleted. I am not saying you cannot post displeasure, but keep it civil folks.
