We (myself, the other websters out there) had a chance to chat with Big Daddy Derryl DePriest (Director of Marketing and the Star Wars go-to guy) at Hasbro‘s collector-press ‘do’ yesterday, and we dug into him with a few queggestions…

On the suggestion that Hasbro create Ultra Battle Packs in a larger box with a more playset feel (my suggestion was the same quality work we received for last year’s Dagobah X-Wing) and of course more figures as a means of creating a playset-like item…

Without getting a direct quote, DePriest said, "Hang on to that idea." The intimation is that something is in the works that will satisfy us in this manner.

We questioned whether or not there would be not-one-but-two large scale vehicles (say a tank and a walker with roving commander center play features) for Clone Wars 3D?

The response from DePriest was a smile, and a "we’ll see" before we were ushered out.

Is Gargan in the mix?

Not for 2007, and she will be a hard sell. However, Hasbro is trying to fill that request.

I suggested putting her and other dancers into the Max Rebo Band exclusive sets that are potentially coming, and we’ll see where that goes.

There’s never really enough time at Hasbro for all of the talking and questions that we (the bloggers, websters, and others) have, so hopefully our pals at yakface.com and the Star Wars Action News picked up a bit more. Check them out to see what they might have to say.
