HOLONET SLICE SUCCESSFUL. BEGIN TRANSMISSION:

Wa tetu dat uta, gang! We've only got two questions and two answers for you this week, because I couldn't think of any more in time for the deadline, and I only got one submission from another reader. But read on for some more corporate butt-kissing, interesting info about the upcoming Crab Droid, and tantalising teases of what's upcoming...

CreatureCantina.com:Okay, so, lessee here: Juggernaut Turbo Tank, full-sized Gunship bubble turret with Clone Pilots, TX-130 Republic Fighter Tank, larger Crab Droid, larger Vulture Droid, Clone Wars Y-Wing, Jabba's Rancor, and oodles of desperately cool figures out the wazoo. And that's just for starters. First of all: THANK YOU!!! Secondly: You're gonna bankrupt me, you know that?
- Beedo Sookcool, staff writer and soon-to-be plasma-seller

Hasbro: Glad you like the offerings! We're glad you "fee" our commitment to keep the magic going. Just one clarification - there's no new Crab Droid - we're bringing out the same one, just in a new package. By the way...wait until you see what we are holding back for Comic Con. Trust us when we say there is a lot of great stuff to come - '09 is going to be one of the biggest years in Hasbro's Star Wars history!

CC: Now that we're getting more and more Podracer pilots, how likely is it that we might start getting their Podracers to go along with them?
- Wildman, casual reader and galactic speed freak

H: We will probably start to think about them in a couple years, when kids who experienced Ep. I for the first time in 1999 start to "grow" into collectors. Until then, we have our sights set on other vehicles.

So there you have it, folks! It's a re-release Crab Droid in a new box, and there are some great surprises in store for Comic Con, like the Gelagrub Patrol Battle Pack! Oops. Let that one slip. Sorry! But by their wording, they haven't entirely written off the idea of more Podracers yet. And it sounds like 2009 is gonna get expensive. Anywho, if you have any more questions, send 'em in. And until next time, take it as easy as possible, and my your hunts be rewarding!
