Dear Hasbro,

        We know your priority is to "stick with characters kids know well", but, seeing as the Old Republic boasts SOOO many figures that are bound to sell well, can we expect to see you abandon this temporarily in favor of the TOR figures, in the upcoming Legacy lines, as to present more characters from the game?  The "Fan's Choice" poll here at the 'Yards resulted in multiple TOR characters on the list, so it's quite apparent we would like to see a good deal of new stuff.

        Also, recently we saw the re-release of Delta Squad, the famed Clone Commando set.  Is there a possibility to see the Commandos of Omega Squad (Niner, Darman, Fi, and Atin) re-released, either in their black camo Katarn Armor, or white/purple variant, as sported by Fi and Niner that we know of?  And finally, is there a possibility of seeing Yayax Squad (Jind, Yover, Cov, and Dev) as well?  I mean, the base figure is already there, it would just be a repaint job to create such figures.  Thanks.

Folks, my my home internet down, and my time at work limited at best I went ahead and sent this round in.

I used the Malgus vehicle and Spry's astro question although I will defintetly use USD's TOR question next round for sure.

"Thank you for your continued participation in Hasbro's Star Wars Q&A program. Hasbro understands that you've been waiting patiently for your outlet's responses from the team for this last round of the Q&A dating back to September 16, and it's appreciated. Following Hasbro's fun and exciting debut at New York Comic Con this past weekend, which included a successful Hasbro Star Wars panel, the team has decided to forgo the current Q&A round and focus on the next round.

Hasbro apologizes for the last-minute notification and hopes that you'll submit questions for the next round."

Typical! The one time I get a question sent in through any forum, Hasbro decides to screw it! Bloomin' typical!

This quote is Hasbro referring to the September 16 Q&A.

I have been out for a few days, but that information was indeed correct. As that is what I recieved. I am guessing the questions we submitted for this latest round are ok, but I am checking to be sure. Geesh.

That is exactly what I am feeling Pat. Such a slap in the face really.

At least that is my guess. I can't imagine that all of their resources were spent at the nycc show to prevent these answers from coming.

Thanks Tamer! I really want to know the purpose of that lower hole.

Spry, I've actually seen that answered somewhere before from a Hasbro rep, but I cannot recall WHERE I saw it.  The idea of the lower hole was to allow kids to take an astromech body and add protocol droid legs to it - the whole idea of the BAD line was maximize recombination possibilities.  And um - are we getting carded astromechs other than R5-D4 built from BADs?  Personally, I *love* that idea.  I'd love to see all the protocol droids carded, too.
