For them, Europe seems to be the UK...
After 6 months of exclusivity for the Black Series to WalMart, everybody can order Black Series in his part of the world, but nobody seems to know that. Not even TRU.
This needs to be changed if the pricepoint really concerns them.
Paying between 35 and 40 EUR for a 3.75" figure is not an option.

    Thanks Dan, Tamer and Hasbro.
  It seems to me Hasbro is answering the questions better. I like the audio as opposed to the transcript.

Yeah, I wish I could have shared the video from the google hangout from the previous Q and A so you guys could see Hasbro really answer questions.

  This q&a reaffirms my thought that Hasbro is taking advantage of the new movies to get new collectors. It makes sense. But the hardcore 3.75" fans are sort of tossed to the side until Star Wars loses relevance, then theyll come crawling back. The idea that 6" is designed for new collectors because the amount existing figures are overwhelming, I can see that.  Personally I just got back into collecting, and it was the 6" X-Wing Luke that hooked me back in. However I eventually  went back to 3.75 because in some cases finding certain figures is impossible and making customs is very limiting.

I got the opinion from listening to the questions that the false ignorance has gone. "Some people can't get all the figures?""delays in release in all shops at once?" Yeah, we're working on it!"
They also need to look at their European releases. Problems all over! Asda in the UK still selling 3.75 Black Series Wave 1! Bit of a smattering of Wave 2 when you're not looking. Come on Hasbro, sort your supply lines out!!!

Life's full of missed opportunities.
Especially for Hasbro now.
Rogue One is out, people are happy, people love the movie, people have no real line of SA 3.75" figures and vehicles to buy.

Check the article and the discussion.
Now would be the best opportunity to sell figures and vehicles.
Too bad there isn't much to buy.

I can't argue with this logic. I read JTA's latest review of the new Walker and found myself saying and nodding  yes to all of their points. Such an opportunity wasted with this movie. I also even felt that we had a lot of new Imperial Trooper type characters kind of invented in this movie for the merchandising, but we aren't ever gonna seem some of them in super arty form.

Toy Fair is next folks, all we can do is get our questions in about things like this. I have a feeling they know what questions we are gonna give em before we even think em up.

Question No.1:
Is there a chance we will see figure multipacks in the 3.75" BS line?
No, not astromechs like in that EE exclusive multipack, but real figures.
A multipack of Rogue One Rebel SpecForce Commandos and another of Imperial Troopers (Death Troopers, Shoretroopers, Stormtroopers) would fly from the shelves like nothing else.

Looks like Volker beat me to it. After seeing Darth Daddy's Rebel Fleet Troopers and the variations he created I could so see a Rebel Fleet Trooper pack selling too.

What I would like to know, after seeing them release the Walmart AT-ST again with no word, is if we will see other "past true to scale 3.75" vehicles" get the same re-release? I think collectors and fans in general aren't big fans of the latest vehicles that are so underscaled to barely fit one pilot let alone any subsidiary passengers, troopers, etc.

I also have to admit being a bit underwhelmed with that new AT-ACT and wonder how Hasbro feels about it now? I am not saying the walking wasn't great, but with the price point being so high I didn't see any sell in my neck of the woods and am seeing them clearanced out now way below the beginning msrp. With the success of their larger vehicles like the BMF Falcon and the following Legacy AT-AT is there any chance we could see those again or another larger size vehicle like that that might not be big in electronics, but big in scale and features like those two awesome vehicles had?

You know, the more I think about it, it would be really easy for Hasbro to bring us a battlepack of Rebel Fleet Troopers defending, a boarding party of Stormtroopers and a piece of spaceship corridor as a diorama base/playset.
This would give the army builders something and also the diorama people and the kids to play Star Wars action with them.
A battlepack could contain five or six figures, troopers plus an officer, various weapons and specialisations.
The diorama piece could have some action features.

We know they can do this, they did it back them in the POTF line with the cell block and other playsets.

I agree, it would be awesome to see up to date versions of those potf cinema scenes. I think that is what they were called.

I'd like to ask if there's any Blue squadron stuff on the horizon and can we have Theron Nett for the 40th anniversary to finally complete the list of pilots given screen time in ANH

Will Hasbro be releasing an AT-DP walker from the Rebels animated series in the Titanium Series die-cast line?

THIS!

I don't get how Theron Nett hasn't been made yet. He had a lot of screen time like Biggs and Wedge.

If Gold Leader wasn't re-released in TBS line, it would have been cool to see a 3-pack of Red, Gold and Blue Leader. This way Red Leader is re-released, we get the new sculpt of Gold Leader and a brand new Blue Leader. Instead hopefully we will see a 3 pack of Blue Leader and 2 Blue Squadron pilots.

With how Hasbro has been lately, I don't see this happening. Maybe if this was back in the Legacy Collection days.
