1. Has Hasbro ever considered presenting a "what if" panel at a show
that talks about the lines that never cancelled (SOTE wave 2, oval gen2 CommTech, etc)?
HASBRO
I think others have covered this better than we could. We are very much focused on the upcoming line and tend to quickly move on past the ideas we've discarded.

How do you decide which sculpts get rehashed/repackaged?
HASBRO
We make our choices for refreshed/repackaged figures based on demand for that character, quality of the original figure (for instance, if the aesthetics of the character still work for a re-release), and the availability and quality of the tooling.

Will the figure-numbering system reset in 2007?
HASBRO
The figure numbering will reset with each new line look. When we started the 2006 line, we didn't know how far it would go, so our packaging team inserted the '0' in there. We won't do that again unless we have specific plans to pass 100.

Interesting questions this week, which have straight forward answers. I never inquired about a second wave of SOTE, and I haven't bothered to inquire for proof. For example a presentation board is just a presentation board until more proof is discovered (ie. Guru for example).
The answer to question number two is a good honest answer that I'm sure quite a few collectors will complain about, but it's the truth.
