Vynsane.com's Hasbro's Weekly Q&A

anarky · Post by **anarky** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:13 pm

We're not worried. We hear NECA has the rights to the Thundercats toys. Those things cost an arm and a leg, and have you ever actually seen any in stores? Didn't think so.

Nothing more to see here. Move along. Next question, please.

Hasbro, what is it with you?

We begged for a Senate Pod, and you finally released one. It took about seven years, and you had to buy two lame-ass Shocktroopers, and those pieces of shit commonly known as ROTS Yoda and ROTS Palpatine to get one.

We begged for Snowbunny Padme. You responded more quickly this time, taking only about three years (despite giving us the retarded Talz Jedi first). This time, we had to get yet another inferior R2-D2, and a totally inaccurate C-3PO.

And we begged for Galactic Heroes Qui-Gon and Jar Jar for years. They seem pretty damned obvious to everyone with a brain. Now we hear we're finally getting them, but the catch is they're only going to be in an overpriced set containing every single TPM Galactic Hero/Playskool figure made to date.

So, by your estimation, how long until every collector gets sick of this "buy a whole lot of shit you already have or never wanted to get the one figure you really do want" policy, stops collecting, and hops on a plane to Rhode Island so they can kick you in the nuts?

You will have to wait until next year, after we release our Yarna and Neimoidians Fun Adventures Battlepack. You will be able to recreate all the fun of the encounter between Yarna D'al Gargan when she met Lushros Dofine, his twin brother Larry (repack of Lushros), and two Neimoidian Warriors! Oh, and Yarna will be a repaint of Malakili, with four more tits painted on. And there's also a Moff Jerjerrod figure on the box. We think you'll be excited.

So, how badly will the new Destroyer Droid suck?

I've got to break the flow here.

I was honestly just thinking that Hasbro would confirm Yarna this year, but as a pack-in in the TRU exclusive "Defense of Neimoidia" Battlepack, made up of twelve Neimoidian Warriors and a Cruisemissile Trooper, which will be an Entertainment Earth exclusive for $75.

Actually the answer is kind of funny- it won't be until sometime in the 2020's before a number big enough to REALLY do it justice on the suck-o-meter is even invented !!!!!

Seriously tho, it's pretty god DAM bad.

Any chance of 21-B ever getting redone properly?? The people need some Deuce pretty bad these days- maybe more than ever

anarky · Post by **anarky** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 5:58 pm

Yes. He will be the last entry in the vintage-styled figures, sometime in 2018 (assuming the line lasts that long). By that time, inflation will have increased the price of the figures in this line to $59.99. 2-1B, however, will be a pack-in with a re-release of the vintage Droid Factory, which will be an Entertainment Earth exclusive. Though we haven't figured inflation on this particular item, it will cost the equivalent of $60 in today's dollars.

Not sure why you ask, though, as you're Canadian, and we fucking hate you Canucks. Not only will he not be released there, but we're currently pushing legislation through Congress to ban the export of all toys to Canada. That'll teach you to be all polite and clean, you holier-than-thou bastards.

Hasbro, why do you suck? I mean, seriously. What is the reason that you have the sucking power of approximately twelve supermassive black holes?

I think, the more pertinent question, anarky, is why do YOU suck? Huh? Buddy? Care to explain? Well? WELL?!? That's what I thought. Need I remind you little bastards who wears the pants in this collector/manufacturer relationship? Fuck all of y'all! You'll get what we give you and not a thing more. And you'll eat our shit and smile. HaHA!!

I've stopped collecting toys. You no longer hold sway over me. What do you have to say to that? Buttfuckers.

We'd prefer it if you'd reconsider, Bitch. In order to facilitate this impending changing of your mind about our products, we've dispatched Fat Tony and Big Pete (along with 10 feet of rubber hose) to your abode. Don't worry, they'll be there soon. Thank you for your continued support!

Are you going to show us a picture of the Hermi Odle figure soon, or is it all another big fucking joke on us, the poor saps who butter your bread?

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Mon Apr 23, 2007 6:32 pm

How much fun would it be if somebody at Hasbro...ermm... I mean if "we" actually found this forum and read this topic. Too fucking funny.

But I digress...

To answer your question: Yes we will show you a picture of Hermi Odle...when we're goddamn good and ready. Or maybe no. Now that you mention it, I don't think we will, because of your snotty attitude. Yes YOU JJ Reason. HEY EVERYBODY! We were going to show you guys pictures of ALL the new figures coming out this year, byt JJ fucked it up for everybody! Blame him! Blame him! LA LA LA LA LA LALALA......

Your G.I.Joe vehicles used to be pretty cool because they were based, at least in part, on realistic military vehicles of the time. Eventually , you went all bat shit and started making up the craziest missile launching flying clown cars that you could thin of. Now other toy companies are finding this flaw in your approach and picking up the slack with Xtreme Detail humvees, and blackhawks and the like. Does this make you want to rethink your position and try to recapture some of this market?

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:50 pm

When are we getting THIS figure??

anarky · Post by **anarky** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:32 pm

NAUGHTY!! Much too naughty! Overheating! Overheating! Warning: Critical overload! Systems shutting downnnnnnnn....

Hasbro, why is Senor JabbaJohnL such a yes man for you guys? Does he really worship the ground you walk on, or are you holding his mother hostage?

Sorry, JJL, had to ask.

kidhuman · Post by **kidhuman** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:07 pm

We like to think because he loves our product so much, but we fuck his mom on a regular basis and give him free toys. She is such a whore

What the fuck is up with the new waves? Why does wave 5 end at #37 and wave 6 start at #50?

Ran · Post by **Ran** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:49 pm

First of all, we do not control what figures are stocked, so go bitch whine and complain to someone else. To answer your second question, we use a counting method only utilized by a certain secret society. If you don't understand, too god damm bad. After the revolution you will be our servant.

Why and how did the Cruisemissle trooper ever get see the light of day?

kidhuman · Post by **kidhuman** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 6:21 am

Because we knew it would piss people off. Dont like, too fuckin bad because he will be repacked in every wave from here until 2018.

Why an SA 4-LOM?

Eternal Padawan · Post by **Eternal Padawan** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 11:03 am

You did NOT hear tis from us, but George Lucas is planning to add 15 minutes into Empire Strikes Back including a breakdancing segment with 4-LOM and Zuckuss. We are just being preemptive.

Between the coloring and the original form and style, the Cloud Car is one of the more recognizable ships from the Original Trilogy. Yet it hasn't had a toy counterpart since the early, early 80's almost 25 years ago. What are you doing to rectify this situation?

Ran · Post by **Ran** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 12:34 pm

What are we going to do about the cloud car? We're gonna make more colored clones and then release some more Vaders and poorly sculpted Lukes, duh. THen we are also working on a Jawa with removeable hood that reveals Jango's head. You'll forget all about this cloud car soon enough.

Do you even bother listening to the collectors anymore?
