Alright, we got some answers back! I am curious about the exclusive versions of those classic vehicles that were mentioned.

I guess technically, an ATAT wouldn't be called a ship so perhaps they just didn't mention it. I can hope can't I? :-[

I must say, I'm happy with the answer to this question from sandtroopers.com (which was asked by me by the way!)

"3) I'm just wondering if you plan on giving any consideration to expanded universe material from the pre-Thrawn trilogy era (70's & 80's) apart from the Marvel comics material. There is actually quite a bit to draw from such as the Holiday Special (which you have stated can't be touched), the Ewok movies, the Droids and Ewoks cartoons, novels such as Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the Han and Lando novels, and storybooks that originally included records like Planet of the Hoojibs and Droidworld. True, none of them have a lot of exposure today, but they would certainly be remembered by collectors that grew up in a time when these were some of the only sources of Star Wars fun apart from the OT.  So what do you think? Is there any chance that figures based on some of these sources could ever be made, perhaps as chase figures, exclusives or some other type of release?

Hasbro: There is simply so much great Star Wars reference that we can't cover it all, so we try and hone in on the things that have the most pent-up-demand, or things which we feel tell a great story and can be executed within our tooling and cost constraints. Some of these - like the Ewoks and Droid series, which have seen DVD distribution - are definitely possible if we find the right format. This would most likely be as exclusive multi-figure packs.  They are not high on our list given some of our other choices but remain possibilities as we look to flesh out our plans farther down the road.  Splinter of the Minds Eye is likely in comic 2-pack form and was high on the list for 2010, but did not make the final cut.  It is a strong possibility for 2011 if comic packs are still doing well. The rest of the sources you cite have much lower resonance and would not be under consideration."

I may live to see the day that there are new Droids and Ewoks figures after all! I'm guessing that like most multipacks, they would probably be five figures per set. I wonder who would make the cut? Too bad this isn't high on their list, but at least they have obviously give it some thought! Bring 'em on Hasbro!

Another question,

Do you have any plans to release the Confederacy Tactical Droid(s) from the Clone Wars episodes Jedi Crash and The Hidden Enemy, and the flying Super Battle Droid from Jedi Crash in the Clone Wars 3D line?

How bout this one guys!

Do you forsee a future where the new characters we are seeing from the Clone Wars TV show will be made in the "realistic" format? I love the new characters and totally understand the kid appeal with the figures from the Clone Wars line, but was wondering if we will see these get the realistic treatment kind of the like the first Clone Wars TV series?

I am on that band wagon too especially with Ahsoka and some of those very cool clones!
Unfortunately Hasbro already stated in a previous Q&A they will not be making any figures from TCW into realistic figures or vise verse.  :'(

We have all been enjoying the great images from the New York Toy Fair. I am extremely happy to see deluxes make thier way back into the Clone Wars lineup. If this line meets Hasbro's standards could we hope to see this expand into the Legacy line up?
