Hasbro Q&A Summary for June 2011

Hasbro’s recent Q&A had a couple questions regarding the Galactic Heroes line, here’s what they had to say:
1. JediNews – source
The Galactic Heroes line was a fan favourite but after 9 years I guess it was time for something new. The Jedi Force line looks fantastic and making the vehicles compatible was a very welcome idea. However, there are a few figures that we’re missing from the Galactic Heroes line such as the other half of the Republic Commandos… is there any chance you’d consider releasing one more Cinema Scene featuring a selection of these ‘missing’ figures – maybe we could even vote for the figures we’d like to see? If not for retail, would you consider it as a convention exclusive?
No further Galactic Heroes packs are planned, but another Cinema Scene pack would be a cool addition. Perhaps someday in the future…

How finished is Galactic Heroes as a line? Have we seen the last of it? The AT-ST hit stores the week we submitted these questions, but are there additional exclusives, repaints, gift sets, or other items in the pipeline?
Galactic Heroes had a great run, but the line is now done. We think you’ll like what you see in the new Jedi Force line.

Oh dear. That’s sad news.
The worst exclusion is the other half of the Republic Commandos. Sucks not having them all.
I hope Hasbro reconsiders after lack luster sales of this new line. I will not touch this one as I do not need more Vader’s, R2’s or Lukes. I do like some of the vehicles, but since I actually have the complete collection I do not want to start another one. I would like to see Hasbro do all of us GH collectors a service and create one last cinema scene with the remaining RC’s, added Omega Squad and Kal. That would be a great way to end the line.
Guys, check out these links by some customizers to see what the RC’s might look like ….
