Has any of the questions or feedback from these Q&As led to any changes in product plans? If so, can you give some examples?
HASBRO
For one, it led directly to last Fall's Saga Legends Fan's Choice voting. Many characters were being asked about for re-release that we decided to open it up for vote, and that was a great result of this Q&A. There have been other results as well such as us slotting in a certain idea here or there for figures or pointing us to certain aspects of the EU that deserved attention - like figures from the novels. So yes, we do definitely listen and while results are seldom immediate, you will see some influence from the collective fan input. Keep up the great work!

From time to time, you mention that a figure is on the "short list". How short (or long) is the "short list"?
HASBRO
Ha! The short list is always longer than we want it to be, but usually enough figures (sorted by movie or source) for the next couple of years. So you might say that it's 12-15 figures deep at any time, which is culled down to make a compelling wave when we begin our next cycle of line planning. And then we start restocking the list again when we get ideas and inspiriation for a new take or a new figure we need to do.

What will the variation be on the Bantha & Tusken Raider Battle Pack?
HASBRO
The variation is a change in coloration of all of the Tuskens to a darker reddish brown hue, the idea being that it is another clan. This was actually our intended original version but due to some difficulties in the schedule we decided to split the run using original colors and the new colors.
